I might be wrong, but I think that program predates Windows and was widely used in pure DOS days. I remember using it to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat to tweak settings to run DOS games, before Windows days. (It could be because having Win 3.1 installed on a machine brings the program along in DOS though)

The amazing thing about it was that even in pure DOS, with no Win 3.1 running, it lets you use your mouse too in the editor (provided that you have drivers set up right in config.sys etc.), I guess in a similar way as how DOS games use the mouse.

Doesn't even have to be something destructive like Iraq or Puerto Rico, Argentina comes to mind: serious economic collapse, maybe not Venezula-style, but enough that it disrupted things heavily.

I agree with the parent -- it's just insurance, and is a cost-benefit trade-off that needs to be evaluated in a similar fashion as flood insurance or the like.

There are a lot of what I'd call "psychological" or perception-based factors for doing things like hoarding guns and food, and it's easy to go overboard, but they're not fundamentally poor choices.

Cutting taxes and increasing government spending trivially increases employment and wages. These people voluntarily accepted a buyout to get a better paying job elsewhere.

So are they going all 5G for residential Fios broadband ... offering FIOs nationally over 5G?

For consumers that would be great and I’m sure other carriers would follow. If they do Comcast will suffer and millions of consumers will have a choice of residential broadband vs. only one player.

Thus I wonder if these job cuts are happening mostly in their wireline business that’s unionized?

AirSage is very clearly offering non-anonymized (read: private) information about individuals. That is, they offer "insights like the home and work locations of people".

> AirSage uses its massive source data and patented algorithms to understand the movement of population and trips start to finish, origin to destination every day for the entire country. It’s not just about the where and when. Through years of research and development, AirSage also knows the “why”, or purpose, of the more than a billion trips made in the United States every day.

> Understanding populations as they relate to the physical world has been the core competency of AirSage since the beginning. For any physical point of interest in the United States, insights like the home and work locations of people seen in an area or duration of stay or frequency of visits are all characteristics that can provide a new level of understanding never before capable.

> Brands and Marketers recognize that the world is not just about what takes place on the screen of a tv, computer or mobile phone. It’s about how technology helps enhance our real physical world. AirSage is a leader in providing insightful information about the audiences advertisers want to reach as they relate to the locations and places that people spend their time.

I was simply providing numbers as a counterbalance to those that were weirdly lamenting that the tax cuts are responsible for job cuts, similarly without evidence.
Why would they prevent it? They are just cannon fodder, for them doing time is an occupational hazard that comes with such a high service price. If they can protect the king long enough (i.e. enough news cycles that people will bore of the whole affair), then it’s job done.
My problem with the new FireFox is simply that I don't like it. I like it better than Chrome, but I was never a Chrome user (I've been using Firefox since the very beginning). I'm better off using a fork that still allows for enough customization that I can make it behave the way that suits me best. Since I can use forks in a way that is no less (or marginally less) secure, they are my best option.

Money can’t purchase genuine human connection, and that’s pretty much the root of it.

Anything that can be purchased is that much more enjoyable when real human connection is involved, otherwise it honestly doesn’t matter how lavish the thing is, it just becomes kind of boring.

It’s possible to purchase fake connection, but again it’s pretty boring because it’s fake.

Even the money making process is more boring without genuine connections to others.

Sure, the country survived, but did it return to the political status quo? Last I checked, presidents are still allowed to use the veto on policy proposals they disagree with, rather than it's original purpose as a constitutional defense tool.

Rome survived when their political structures fell apart in the first century BC too. Does that mean you would be equally happy to live under the thumb of Nero as you would to live in the free and open democratic society of the second century BC republic?
FDR was probably more of a norm breaking president than Johnson.

The jury is still out on whether or not the US will survive.

I don't disagree...but then we need to follow politics and make reasoned decisions as to who to elect to do a good job representing our interests. When we get too comfortable that things will remain the same level of corruption and effectiveness (whether we think that is a good or bad level) and stop being educated and selective, that is when things STOP remaining the same.

Good news sources create accountability that isn't managed by PR. Poor news sources instead empower PR.

Stating it as a direct trade for the service being no charge is fallacious in that Google does not actually give you the option to just pay money for the service/storage and skip the surveillance. Instead, the true price remains nebulous - with your "permanent record" continuing to grow and becoming ever more of a liability.

It's certainly possible to develop user-centric software with the same functionality and polish, at a grassroots level. The fact that the industry is being dominated by VC money looking for scalable winner-takes-all growth is indicative of the magnitude of what's really at stake.

You're going to get a lot of answers that say "yes" but don't answer your question: because there are a lot of licenses that require (or imply) free licensing of all relevant patents BOTH hardware and software patents.

Blizzard released Hearthstone in 2014, Heroes of the Storm in 2015, and Overwatch in 2016. It's very difficult to characterize that as "milking". And Bethesda has Starfield in the pipeline, though it's a next-gen title at this point.

I remember those, and often prefer them over ink-jet because one could often fix any problems themselves. With ink-jets, if there's problems, it's hard to see what's actually going on. You usually have to rely on software drivers to diagnose and/or clean them, which often fail for some reason (probably version compatibility). I'm really disappointed with ink-jets. The higher-quality dot-matrix ribbons rarely broke, just got tangled. You could untangle it and get back to work. The problems and solutions were more clear-cut, hands-on, and visual. If they could make dot-matrix printers match the resolution of ink-jets, I just may get one, at least as a back-up.
Up to this point, if you could amass any sort of audience, it was easier and more lucrative to monetize via ads than attempt user subscriptions/micro transactions.

I recall hearing that VCs would advise their consumer apps NOT to monetize at all so in acquisition talks they could position potential instead of actual amount / user.
>> Doesn't this perversely incentivize leaving money in questionable investments?

If anything, it seems to incentivize spending money quickly, because only those with something left were in a position to have it clawed back. It isnt clear from the article, but i dont think claw-backs forced people without anything left to say, take out a loan to pay back what was spent.
Celebrities on Reddit don’t have great push marketing channels. And in general overt marketing doesn’t work well on Reddit. That audience likes to be tricked into buying things via clever organic “news”.

One of those things deals with your own personal vote, which is not likely to change the outcome of the election, while the other deals with large numbers of votes, which could easily change the outcome of the election. No person trying to suppress votes cares if a single individual is barred from voting. They care that many people are barred from voting.
Good advice, and I love your last tidbit in particular.

When I take on bedtime chores, my (stay-at-home) wife gets a second wind to accomplish whatever tasks of her own that she's been hoping to get to but has had to put off all day because she was taking care of the younguns. It's a great solution because the kids and I get time together, I get to share in the caretaking chores, and my wife gets a much-needed respite from managing 6 other people's lives for them.

I recently seen a trial of this concept on the BBC News website, where you could choose between in-depth and summarised, simplified coverage of various aspects of the story. It was at the section level, so you could read a detailed account of one part of the story but a summarised version of another.

I can't find a link to the story, but it was within the last couple of months.

In my case, I actually flipped between both versions to see the different ways it was covered.

1. the way you do permlinks to individual posts looks good. It's also easily shareable. good too.

2. but probably, an even better way to do permalinks is something like quora did - just the specific answer that solves the user's problem , in a seperate non-distracting page, with a full, human readable url.

That of course creates a problem with sub-comments, but quora solved it nicely by hiding them .

3. Content quality is key for SEO. Assuming that upvotes works well for that. i don't know much about forum design, but i assume upvotes are really sensitive to the community and that's why HN is so great.

but in other communities, i wish there was a way to sense if "this answer solved the issue" or something similar, and letting that rise. That's probably one of the reasons stackoverflow won.

But forums are somewhat different so that's harder.

4. Adding that "recommended links" on the site could help SEO. but it's a shitty user experience. So probably isn't worth it.

There's your problem. Try sending 30 cents digitally in the US. We have so many vultures in the middle of our transactions that the standard online payment fee is 30 cents + 2.9%! Paypal has a microtransaction fee structure but then you're in the Paypal ecosystem.

I think if we can solve the microtransaction problem in the US we can move away from the ad / surveillance tech.

I'd say that depends on the convictions of the people involved. I don't know how kids feel about their Constitution, or their rights. If they don't care, we're screwed.

If there is a deep commitment to protecting their rights, no defamation will stop them.

I think this idea would make an interesting speculative novel: America is on the brink of tyranny. The Constitution has been set aside (for some 'sufficient' reason) and freedoms summarily stripped from the people (in essence, we have become what China is now).

What do Federal law enforcement agencies have to do in order to quell rebellion? Psy-ops? Kill teams and other wet work? Propaganda? Probably a liberal mashing up of these and other tactics.

Definitely. In another section which I eventually scrapped (I'm the author) I argued that for most situations I think there are more straightforward ways to segment content for different audiences.

However, there are some edge cases where one page must serve multiple audiences. Such as a "get started" experience that you have invested a lot of time and money into and which is unfeasible to duplicate. Or news articles. But then again, the inverted pyramid seems like a pretty good solution for news articles...

You're correct, that's all assuming they don't "accidentally" spend customer funds on corporate expenses which is obviously fairly easy to do when all of the funds are in the same account.

I'm honestly a bit surprised this hasn't come up with regulators yet. Even under current U.S. law I'm not sure how Coinbase can take custody of client funds without being either an OCC chartered bank or an SEC (or NFA) registered broker. Coinbase is absolutely functioning as a bank and there's a pretty strong argument they're operating as a forex broker.

Banks and broker-dealers have strict rules around segregation of client funds and securities for the exact purpose of protecting customers' ability to promptly access their funds/assets in the event the custodian goes under.

The point is so simple and straight forward I question your ability to carry on this conversation. It is bloody obvious what I'm trying to say.

The idea is that we have a problem, a stagnating economy, lack of jobs and stagnating wages.

The prescribed solution to this problem was tax cuts.

So if you still having large scale layoffs then it appears that maybe the SOLUTION is not quite solving the PROBLEM.

Instead I need to engage in this stupidity. This is like someone getting cancer, and someone prescribes snake oil solition, and I'm saying the snake oil doesn't work.

And instead some of you at the bottom of this thread are saying I'm blaming the cancer is due to the snake oil. How long do we need to do this stupid song and dance.

If we are going to engage in news sources regarding statistics for stagnating wages, which news sources are you going to accept, and which ones are going to be dismissed as liberal bias?

It's not stealth advertising. The SF Chronicle is a legitimate news organization that has journalistic standards.

Maybe a PR person suggested the story, maybe nobody did. Maybe the author came up with the idea and just wrote it. Maybe the author emailed around looking for examples and a PR person jumped on the idea. Who fucking knows. But nobody in this thread has any first hand info about it.

Either way it's not advertising, it's a story in the newspaper by a journalist that has ethical standards to live up to. We live in an era now where people are trying to blur the difference between ads and journalism, for a reason, so I personally care about the difference.

Also the word submarine is fucking stupid.
