2. Read all the advice from experts

3. Nod and say “sure, no problem”

4. Make all the mistakes anyway

5. Finally understand for yourself what that advice really meant

6. Advise beginners not to do that thing

7. Repeat

Publishers should take some basic control of the ads on their site, just like it used to be with newspapers and broadcast. Serve them from their own domain, restrict their format (no moving parts or sound, no Javascript at all), vet them for basic decency before publishing. My uBlock Origin setup wouldn't block that.

Can't agree more here. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "this code is spaghetti, let's start over". I love clean architectures as much as anyone, but good developers are not afraid to jump into foreign spaghetti code, make precision cuts with a scalpel, and sew it all back up validated by robust automated tests. Drop the desire for simplicity; instead learn, embrace, and manage the complexity.

CREDIT SPECIALIST
My score was 343 on clear score and I couldn’t get anything at all due to being immature few years back. I had an IVA, few negatives and also had defaults with telecom companies and also credit cards. I went online and found a credit specialist on INDEED a well known credit site. I contacted him on his email [ DPROTOCOL7@GMAIL.COM ] and also text him on his number +1 320 245 4036 he replied and he said to me I will help you bring your credit profile up to speed. We got started with the process I made a substantial upfront payment and with a leap of faith, I made the payment some couple of business days later 4 [four] days. After few days he deleted everything bad on my credit report and increased my score from 343 to 790 making me the happiest woman on earth. God bless him and his entire household. I strongly recommend him for your credit issues
I mean, you don't. You have to trust the maintainers of the software you use, to a certain degree, or spend a majority of your time auditing the software you use.

That being said, Brave is pretty upfront about the security of their software. They've paid $25k in bug/security bounties so far and their browser is open source. So if an update turns evil, it stands to reason that someone is going to notice.
It shouldn't be such a shock that people prefer text. Text is the universal format. The vast majority of programming tools operate on it. When someone comes up with a new tool, if they support text and STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR then that's it, they're done.

PowerShell sounds great and I'm sure there are some people who are very productive with it but it's ultimately a silo. It's never going to be as low-friction to support as text.
Two-sided coin... pardon the pun.

On one hand, liquidity means price volatility, employee-shareholder obsession with share price and erm... employee liquidity. IE employees aren't locked after vesting.

On the other hand, liquidity makes value real. Employees will trade salary for liquid options, even on 1-year vesting terms. For illiquid options, it's too risky for most employees to really treat options as salary alternative.

Also, share price obsession can sometimes worse in a no liquidity situation than it is in a liquid "price-ticker" scenario. Imagine being an early employee @ uber. You "own" 0.x% of $50bn, but no have other assets. If uber doesn't IPO, you don't get anything. You are way too invested in a very risky stock. Scary, especially in bad times.

A rising and falling price ticker would be bad for obsession. But, selling some shares would be good. You'd be less exposed.

I've used Apple computers my entire life. Here's why I'm never buying one again.
The problem is there are many smaller publishers on the net where a handful or only one or two people maintain a site. They don't have the capacity to look for advertisers or vet individual ads. That's why they use an ad provider which does this for them.

What you say may work for big news portals and stuff, but if this becomes the norm then it will kill the small publishers resulting in further concentration of net content in the hands of the big guys.

So this direction would hurt the little guys and help the big guys, because they have the resources to adapt.
Protecting your privacy is much like security, in the sense that it's not a black or white issue.

Having a lock on your door won't stop professional burglars, but it implies effort and isn't the same as leaving your front door wide open, which also invites passerbys.

Protecting your privacy actually has a non-negligible effect on your experience on the Internet. Let me give you an example ...

I have a friend that's a T2 diabetic, is self treating and doesn't want to go to a doctor due to past bad experiences. So in trying to help him, I signed up for a Facebook group for diabetics in my area. The result is that now I'm getting commercials for treatments of diabetes.

This to me is freaking scary, because this data can be used against you. Your medical history could affect your credit score for example. Your buying history or your friends list could affect the price of your insurance. Your daughter could get pregnant and the store could find out about it before you. Oh wait, these already happened.

You can't escape all profiling, but the less these profiling companies know about you, the better you are.

I'm using DuckDuckGo lately to search for symptoms of hypothyroidism, because apparently I suffer from it. Along with the privacy extensions I have installed (Privacy Badger, and ad-blocker with EasyPrivacy), guess what, I don't have commercials following me around on hypothyroidism, which to me is confirmation that I'm doing a good job.

You can choose to not care of course. But you're probably young. Give it another decade.

Show HN: A service that pays the viewer in crypto for watching videos
Yeah I don't know, I haven't used SVN in a while, but one thing I certainly did miss when moving to git is that SVN has a revision number for the entire repository [x], which was very handy for build identifiers and the like.

[x] any change to any file or property increments the overall revision number so you can always retrieve the entire state of the repo at any particular point in time.

Income used to pay interest on a home is not taxed (up to a limit). Paying interest (not principal) on a home mortgage is pretty much money down the drain (no wealth accumulation, a fee for the right to hold the debt). In this way, interest payments for housing you own are somewhat comparable to rent payments for housing you don't own.

The fact that income paid to interest is not taxed, yet income paid to rent is taxed can create a significant advantage to owning versus renting.

I'd like to hear what you all think about this.

You can upload videos for a few fractions of a BTC and each viewer gets another smaller fraction. It's instant but it requires the viewer to keep facing the video. Lots of potential holes but it's something I wanted to try.

Yes, unfortunately. And not much other than I suppose it just seems unintuitive to me that the halting problem is solvable for "most" programs.

The real challenge would be to show that "interesting" programs (i.e. that generate some sort of real world data) are solvable. There have been similar efforts in the field of complexity theory that aim to show certain NP-hard problems are tractable in the case of real world data (as opposed to a pathologically selected worst-case problem).
The Hunt for 3ve
How to subscribe to queue?
I was at the 2012 Kumbh Mela, in Allahabad. (some of the pictures are from that event).

It was the craziest event I’ve ever seen, and after 3 months in India I thought I’d seen some stuff.

Nope.

Naga baba’s, doing their tricks and proving their holiness (beating their penis and using them to pick up boulders).

Sat with the guy who’s been holding his arm up to god for, I don’t know 20+ years.

Anything extreme and devoted is considered holy. So this festival brings all those people together, to show in their own way, their devotion.

It’s so loud and chaotic, 24x7. It’s like Times Square meets a music festival, but in every direction, for as far as you can see.

It’s a whole temporary city constructed on the banks of the river, for this festival. Each guru / sect has their own campsite.

Any camp site will feed you, get you stoned, put you up for the night and send you on your way in the morning. (Or you can stay for the rest of your life).

I would recommend it for anyone. But if you get tired of a 3 day music festival... this is going to test you.

It’s everything I loved so much about India.

Can you just recite the number of American civilians killed due to terrorist attacks after 9/11 and compare it with how many terrorists have seriously threatened and even died to kill Americans. If someone is ready to die to kill less than one person on average, it needs to be taken seriously.

While, yes there are things which every military mishandles from time to time, certainly US, you are calling out all activities, for which I hate to say it but you are too naive.

Your theory is not supported by reality though. Apple's Chinese iCloud operations are now run by a government owned company (GCBD). Apple simply handed over the keys to them in order to "improve iCloud services in China and comply with Chinese regulations" (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208351).

From the terms of service:

"You understand and agree that Apple and GCBD will have access to all data that you store on this service"

All major tech companies take the same approach to China: "We comply with local laws and regulations". Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

I'm Indian - I plan to visit this time around. The traffic jams to get to Allahabad are horrendous. But the atmosphere at the Sangam (the confluence) itself is unbelievable. About 100 million pilgrims converge in about 50 days. Last time around, even though I did not go to the Sangam, I saw hordes of yogis, sanyasis and sadhus - including Naga sadhus, who are fully nude, save for a small clay pot with coals. The most auspicious dip is during Mauni Amavasya (New Moon day in which people fast and keep a vow of silence) - that is Feb 4 2019. The crowds are the most insane that day.
Interestingly, Diane Green just left Google Cloud, under somewhat unclear circumstances. It's possible that she did her job, "mission accomplished", it's possible that she did not do it well enough to attract big enterprise clients, but the most satisfying reason (albeit least likely), is that the Google decided to focus back on the technology and less on enticing Enterprise clients with laminated corporate-speak marketing.

So even though this is probably the right move for Rust, it would behoove them to keep a section of their site/blog/newslettter/slack channel/etc for the nerds to get together working on what they love.
As far as I know that is a similar deal. Knowing how software works is an essential part of being a music producer today. You would have great benefit from already having extensive experience with a software suite. The same isn't true if he had been dedicated to music and dancing. People don't generally lack dedication so much as they lack opportunities. Learning about computers gives you opportunities, learning about something else might not.

> Part of me is worried that it becomes more and more of a problem the bigger the project gets.

But why? I personally haven't experienced this having worked in a big Nim project. I'm really curious why you think a bigger project could become burdened by this.

> There are real disadvantages to it -- I can't really rely on my search tools.

I disagree. You can rely on your search tools, as I've demonstrated in my previous reply. I feel like you're thinking of the worst case scenario and convincing yourself that it's very common. It simply isn't, people don't create crazy identifiers, why would they?

> So that... when you're using a library you can refer to its identifiers using a different capitalization convention if you want to--why is that important?

It's important for consistencies sake. In the real world developers prefer different conventions, so you undoubtedly run into a library which uses a convention that is different to your own. It's nice to be able to call that libraries functions in the same convention as your own.

I agree that it's not a huge advantage, which is why I created this thread on the Nim forum recently: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/4388. My main reason to consider getting rid of it though is people like yourself who dismiss the whole language because of this small feature :(

A simple example of generics is generic collections.

Without generics, if you need a list filled with TPS Reports you basically have 2 choices:

- Use the 'untyped' List that deals with objects. You will have to cast to TPS whenever you look up an item and you will have to make sure that no one accidentally adds a Timesheet to this list.

- Write a custom TpsReportList. I'm sure you'll be able to write an implementation as efficient as the language creators. Oh an if you copy and past from TimesheetList, don't forget to check all names. `tpsReports.AddTimesheet()` is just embarrassing.

With generics, you will have a `List<T>` type. If you need a list of TPS Reports you will use the type `List<TpsReport>`. If you need a list of Timesheets, you will use `List<Timesheet>`.

You can't add the wrong type of item to such a list, you will always get the declared item from that list and you can't assign an instance of one type to a variable of the other type.
Agreed - a well mixed track will use stereo panning as an artistic feature. These tracks, at least in my opinion are gimmicky at best and actively detract from the original at worst.
