I think you grossly underestimate how much tourism Greece gets for the Macedonian museums/artifacts/etc. That would be like saying that Germany calling themselves "Rome" has zero issues for Italy.
One also has to take into account other revenue streams that Youtubers will often have. Most channels nowadays will start up a Patreon account once they get a core following, and even a monthly dollar per Patron is more than all the adclicks that viewer would give. Merchandising is also big (1 T-shirt > 1000s of views), and bigger channels (100k+) can get a decent amount of revenue through sponsorship where they give in-video advertisements (like what Squarespace and a lot of VPNs do).

After the instability of Youtube's ad platform this past year ("Adpocalypse 1, 2 and 3"), many on the platform have given up on the idea of depending solely on adclicks as it's just too risky to leave your future to the discretion of a black box algorithm.
>There aren't massive systematic factors working to negatively affect specific slices of those population groupings. It's not a good comparison.

Yes there are massive systemic factors working against people disadvantaged in those factors, and yes it is a good comparison. Look up the average height of CEOs sometime and then tell me height discrimination isn't a thing.
A bit unrelated but I'm in a need for some sort of cat deterrent that will spray water at all cats except mine. Also it would be nice if humans were exempted as well.

I haven't done the legwork myself yet, but would this be an appropriate project to check out for this?
(As for identifying my cat I've been thinking about alternative solutions such as rfid necklace or something but it is quickly getting past 'quick hack').
Sounds like power ups for video games.
It's not for me to prescribe the response, I am genuinely curious about how close to the line people who dislike Brexit are. Living in the EU, how close are people feeling to saying 'fuck it, let's do it live' and just winging it like the UK is preparing to do?

Personally, if you are interested, I feel like Brexit leaves everyone worse off overall. The UK will continue to implement just as stupid up-tight fear laws and stifle creativity and productivity in exchange for perceived 'safety'. The EU's copyright proposal is bad, but Theresa May's approach to solving the UK's perceived moral and ethnic threats is likely worse.
Not mentioned in the article, but Salesforce was a pioneer for Developer engagement:

* Free developer sandbox instance of Salesforce
* IDE plug-ins (Eclipse, ...)
* API first. SOAP and REST APIs for everything
* Object oriented database manipulation language
* Visual DB schema designer
* "App store" distribution model

These features are considered table stakes for any new SaaS/PaaS vendor.
The accept call sleeps if no sockets are available. The thread goes to sleep entirely and stops executing on the core completely.

Yes, there are spin-locks involved in the process. But I'm talking about these lines of code:

> error = inet_csk_wait_for_connect(sk, timeo);

> mutex_acquire(&sk->sk_lock.dep_map, subclass, 0, _RET_IP_);

Etc. etc.

You know, the stuff that causes milliseconds to multiple-seconds worth of delay, as opposed to "pause / spinlocks" which is measured in nanoseconds.
It's not a "human right" to illegally enter a country. I happen to be pro-open borders, but understand the opposing side's view.
This article missed discussing the real influencers: niche influencers. I follow a number of Sailing and Hiking YouTube vloggers and I know they aren't getting rich but it does allow them to keep doing what they love to do. Sailing Delos and Sailing La Vagabonde are the two power house sailing vloggers that make enough money off of Patreon, YouTube and sponsorships to keep sailing around the world and living a really great lifestyle. I know that Sailing La Vagabonde did well enough to get a good deal on a new catamaran, free clothes and bathing suits to keep them going for a long time. I would not be surprised if Sailing Delos got a good sponsorship from Amel boats to keep sailing for many many more years.
Constant evolution.
This was not my experience with my last holiday. But then again, I did not go for luxury.
Receiving international traffic is actually not a good measure of an airport's significance. Grand View International (WN23), for example, receives international traffic (from Canada), but has only a single 1700-foot grass runway. (It's also private.)
if your only goal is to get your work published in something that is technically a journal, this is very easy even if the research is very bad, and then it will likely end up on PubMed.

fundamentally, it is just a specialized search engine, which will point you to articles published elsewhere, that (unfortunately, in my opinion) happens to be hosted on the nih.gov domain.
I can only pray that posts like this one will slowly raise class consciousness in the HN crowd.
Aren't fake followers easy to uncover? Pretty sure there are analysis tools that look at follower engagement, growth patterns, etc. to determine legitimacy. You risk blowing your reputation as soon as anyone does a modicum of due diligence. Seems better to just grow organically.

They'll get over it, or if not then downvote you and block you from being able to post for a while.
This sounds like Marketing.
This. Many can soi-disant influencers attract sponsorship dollars, but some research we did in indexing Amazon links in product reviews is that the real earnings are in commissions resulting from consumer purchases.

It depends on what you mean by "good". With 5G NR it will at least be possible to get to .5 ms or less.

Blockchain Will Be Theirs, Russian Spy Boasted at Conference
Many years ago I (a USian) was hired by a massive Indian company famous for outsourcing that had begun "insourcing": Hiring US labor for jobs with US companies within the US, but managing these hires through their offices in India. The job didn't start for months, but the weirdness started immediately.

I had filled out all the onboarding paperwork, but as there had been almost no vetting I assumed this was all still preliminary and my "actual" hiring would hinge on another round of interviews (possibly with the US client company). Then I checked my bank balance one day and found it to be significantly higher than expected due to automated deposits that continued for the duration: The hiring process was over, I was now a full blown employee as far as the company was concerned.

The original position was in Chicago (a city I was not in) however after a month or so of waiting this seemed to fall through and I was asked to select from a short list of other cities I would be available to relocate to. I chose New York and eventually was given a weeks-away start date that I was expected to begin work there, however no hint of a corresponding salary bump.

Being unwilling to relocate to NY for a Chicago salary, I patiently explained to the management in India that I would need to know my new salary first. After they blew through a few soft deadlines while continuing to insist that I was expected to be at work in New York on the same start date, I finally got my direct supervisor on phone at the beginning of his workday and made it clear that I needed this number before his close of business or else.

When that deadline was also blown, I followed through on my promise and quit immediately (a move that seemed to surprise him). During these three or four months I had shown up at no office or been assigned any tasks.
Well, of course you can't have a URL without a domain name; part of the spec for URLs is that they have a host part!

But, IPFS does not depend on the domain name system to keep your data accessible. You can install IPFS Companion to remove the dependency on the DNS system and ipfs.io gateway, replacing it with your own local gateway (so even if the IPFS Foundation goes away they will still work for anyone who has this set up). Or, you can look at the URL to find the hash and perform the lookup manually. There are also some discussions about making a new URI scheme, though I don't believe they've settled on anything yet.

As I've said in my other comment, I don't think that decentralized and human-readable are mutually compatible; if there is no central authority then how can it be decided when two people want the same name? If by first-come-first-serve, what prevents someone from squatting on all the good names? Namecoin for example solves this by requiring periodic renewal, but then you have the same problem that DNS has of link rot as names expire.
Or another example is China's Inner Mongolia province which borders the country Mongolia. This whole name thing is so stupid. Why can't they both just have the same name?
Maybe there needs to be a tld for Europe that is not mean the European Union. ".euro" or ".europe".
> flat earth nonsense has the potential effect of unmooring people from the very notion of an accepted reality

Religion has already done that.
I fully expect that but it's not an argument to not pursue it in the first place. A lot of people (myself included) seem to get stuck early on in life trying to immediately jump to some grand vision or purpose without figuring out the more basic stuff first. It's a stepping stone, not solely an end in itself.
The really frustrating aspect is that one would need to implement advanced search functionality on those videos otherwise the more you archive the less chance you have of finding anything.

The "hosting" aspect of YouTube is really a small part of why the service dominates. The connections between channels and links from one video to another channel -- network effects and discovery -- are what make disrupting YT seem impossible.

Kind of crazy given how YT originated in juvenile joke vids, but YT may have the potential to become Google's biggest source of revenue despite any number of overbearing content policies. The new ads below videos for products of potential interest based on the video content are annoying but probably very profitable.
> In any case, can you tell me how the people will remove Xi if they ever become unhappy with him?

Xi answers to the communist party. The communist party is more invested in staying in power than keeping Xi in office. Every five years the National Congress of the Communist Party of China convenes, which selects the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee, and has the authority to change the Community Party of China's Constitution.

China has had a long run of good years. It'll be interesting to see how the party reacts to unruly citizens.

It's still the wrong way to write code, and most importantly it's a premature optimization.
Here's what seems to be a chart of the last hundred and thirty-six years of global land-ocean temperature.

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/

It seems some years are cooler than others, but the general trend is upwards.

I don't see where the last two years indicate much of a temperature drop. Do you have a source of information for your statement?
Apparently some brexiters are convinced that everything wrong with Brexit is some evil Germans' fault, who control the EU in the shadows and want to take revenge for WWII.

>It is my opinion (based on experience) that companies that insist on a whiteboard test, despite years of programming on your resume and open source code, are either Ball-Pit companies (who don't know what it means to be a professional) or Clown-Nose companies (who know what it means to be a professional but still treat you like a commodity). Just walk away.

You're entitled to your opinion.

I even happen to hold part of it.

But discounting the entire idea of whiteboarding is incredibly stupid.

No, you should not be writing more than pseudocode/logical outlines on the board.

But you absolutely must be able to convey ideas - and visual conveyance is the best way to convey them.

Draw basic flow diagrams.

Write logical steps.

Document, explain, and argue for not only why this approach "will work", but why it's appropriate for the given scenario (could be, "if I only have an hour to get this to work, this is how I'll do it: it will work, but it may not be efficient or pretty", or "here's the high-level overview with a couple zoom-ins - obviously the full solution will take some time to fully architect, but this is a very strong start", or "there are many better ways of solving riddles like this - I don't waste my time recalling those trivialities when I can look them up in a few seconds in <name of book/website>").
You're right that there are lots of variables. I'd imagine the ad revenue of Pewdiepie is far eclipsed by the sales of his merchandise.

You're also right that looking good goes a long way on Instagram. People want to see good looking models. In the world of blogging, that's far less important. All the people in our bloggers group are decidedly average looking individuals, and their appearance doesn't change how much money they're able to make. Like you said, the main differentiation there is the ruthless business spirit. You have to play dirty to make it in the big leagues.

I hope that we're not still following influencers when we're in our 40s and 50s. Kids will, of course, but they're not going to be influenced by 40 and 50 year old people on Snapchat. Save your income while you're young, it's not gonna last.
When people say "ETPOS" these days, it's understood that they're talking about the maximum distance an aircraft of any size can fly from an airport - various regulators still apply such restrictions on aircraft with more than two aircrafts.

As you might know, this is related to the disastrous EU copyright reform directive proposal that would mandate such filters put in place everywhere. Please don't be complacent, it's very important to do something about this.

At risk of repeating my comment[0] from 3 days ago, I'd like to appeal to you to contact the MEPs that will vote on Wednesday in the EU's JURI committee. This was the first time I called politicians' offices to voice my opinion. The assistants were shocked that a private person actually bothered to do so and seemed quite humbled - I could hear the change in the tone of their voice when they realised an ordinary citizen is calling. I think it's a lot more effective than the 1000s of e-mails piling up in their spam folders.

Please help out to make sure this directive proposal is voted against on Wednesday by the majority of the JURI committee. List of Twitter handles of reportedly yet undecided MEPs:

I sometimes pick up copies of old games I never owned but always wanted (or played at friends' houses, etc.) -- just so I can have the physical media with the awesome manual full of artwork and so on. They are becoming harder and harder to find!
I don't disagree in the sentiment but I think it is ahistorical to say that MLK was shot for speaking against capitalism.
At 800k/year it doesn't matter, does it.
The question has nothing to do with whether anyone is actually a good programmer or not - the OP asked "do you consider yourself to be a good programmer?".

It's a question about how you view yourself, not about objectively comparing your programming skills to someone else's, therefore it doesn't require a common definition or measurement.

Do you have .io domains? If so, you need to get rid of them now because the status of the British Indian Ocean Territory is a lot less clear than the status of any EU country.

(I'm not a lawyer, nor am I member of that group.)

Essentially, the referendum was advisory, an interpretation confirmed by the Miller case. The act passed in response to that case does not include a clear decision to leave the EU. Thus, the Article 50 notification made in 2017 was not in compliance the UK constitutional requirements.

The server can a aboulutly send you data and error as nil, either by error or on purpose. Someone is gonna handle that.
Each TLD can set their own requirements. For example, .edu domains are only available to educational institutions, .mobi requires you to have a mobile website, etc.

Maybe your brain finds it convenient to shut off there, but not for many of us. We have experience reporting crime but don't want to be identified because the rest of the criminal's cronies could turn on us.

Without knowing how our information travels once it leaves our hands, retaliation from crooked government organizations, gangs, small time mobs, abusive family members is all too possible. And we all know how information wants to travel.

Won’t this really hurt for anyone who looks beyond just follower count? The ratio of your followers with your engagement (likes, comments, shares) will be pretty bad.

For those that look at that, they’ll be more turned off than a smaller following count but good engagement ratio.
There's a very real possibility it wasn't your connection that was the problem. Since Diablo 1 was a peer to peer game it was super easy to just flood another player to lag them out and steal their crap.

The game's public multiplayer was notoriously full of griefing like that. There were also ways to get firewalls to go on the spawn point and pvp was easy to force.

It was a mess. Going into a public game was basically just asking to get screwed over.
I'd love to see their data, I'd bet that people making six figures or more make up less than 1%.

>Too many people are willing to shill for free, which hurts anyone trying to do it for money.

Shilling for money is not much better... On my social profiles and chatrooms, I evaluate products solely for the pursuit of knowledge and truth, rather than for financial gain.

The idea here is that we should all be receiving value because we are finding the best products for our needs, not because some company is paying us to shill.
This really did have pernicious and deep-reaching consequences. For instance, a bunch of UK cities are so badly in breach of their pollution goals that they're being taken to the ECJ over it: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/17/uk-taken... Guess where all that pollution's coming from? Diesel vehicles, of course, including the ones which have been cheating on their emissions.

That's fair. I guess I'm used to things being posted to be fairly recent unless otherwise called out in the title.
A better and much more recent proxy observation for the effect of a warming climate is the Eemian [1] aka the last interglacial. Peak temperature 125k years ago was at least 2 C higher than today, and global sea-level was 8-9 m higher (of which less than 0.5 m is attributable to thermal expansion of ocean water). Scandinavia was an island.

What do you that makes $800K/year?
Sometimes, you can still use a broken cd.
In no particular order:

- You can't travel enough. I visited 9 new countries in the last 12 months. Way too little.

- Try to experience new things instead of just seeing and selfi-ing them. [ If you go to a new country, go to the rough edges of the city. Go to events but also to night clubs. Talk to people. Go with them on a trip. (Don't do crazy things and don't harm yourself. I'm not suggesting stupid behavior). ] [ If you try a new dish, try it again at another restaurant. Learn the recipe. Try to cook it ]. etc...

- Push yourself. As much as you can. Don't set expectations. I've learned that expectations are what makes you burn out not hard work.

- It's high time to learn a new language. I master 3 and can understand 4. I'd say you should at least speak 5 fluently and understand 8.

- The reason most people are poor/struggle is because they choose to. The reason some people are poor is because they are in a transitional phase. (Barring health conditions and quantum randomness)

- Money is very easy to make. But you only realize that once you master the skills/processes to make it flow.
