It's been a while and things have changed, drastically, and we are not going back.

Unfortunately, those changes have also involved replacing a lot of the better quality journalism -- genuine investigative reporting, expert analysis, insightful commentary -- with the dominance of third-hand reporting, your mate from the pub's analysis, targeted propaganda and clickbait headlines.

Real, substantial journalism still takes time and hard work and resources, and all of that still costs real, substantial money. Maybe "we are not going back" is today's reality, but going forward we certainly need to improve on the economic models we have today or the race to the bottom will continue until good quality journalism ceases to be a viable occupation.
He specifically says 'online journalism'. He also points out the reduction in advertising revenue which has also been 'the basis for the industry' for the past 100 years.
I do work from home and am father of two small kids (3 and 1 years), both kids and my wife are stayign at home.

From the begining we set strict rules: my office is off place: nobody except of me can go inside, kids are taught that when I am inside I am not home and they just can't see me. I am also not going inside my office outside of my business hours.

With those rules in place it feels like having office outside with minimal commute.
The predictive analytics of these systems are strikingly close to reality. In fact, the AI is ahead of fantasy because the technology is capable of training itself through machine learning algorithms by using the data sets and past experiences.
Here I read an post about Machine Learning Algorithms: https://mobinspire.com/blogs/introduction-to-categories-of-m...

The amateur researchers and entrepreneurs should unravel the marvel of AI because the technology is all set to shape the future of humans. The algorithms enable the observer lacking AI knowledge to perceive them as self-teaching software.
Always viable. Google allows it for app purchases.

Of course if the cost is low enough and you realize your money has been wasted, you simply never purchase from that author again, and if enough other users follow suit, they'll go out if business.
The thing with newspapers is not outbound links but inbound ones. We can see that on this very website; how much of HN is inbound links to news sites? How often do people complain that the inbound links are GDPR-broken or paywalled?

This is where the recent EU copyright directive controversy came from, an attempt to assert copyright in inbound link titles and snippets.

What I think customers would find most convenient is paying the aggregators (HN, twitter, FB etc) who would then pay on towards the content creators. The second-order effects of that system would probably be destructive though: spamming and new forms of clickbait.

The Brave browser is an interesting approach but I'm not going to use it unless I have to, and so I suspect for most people.
This would have been truly hilarious if they had been speaking Pig Latin, as in: "E-hay is-yay upid-stay." "Es-yay, I-yay agree-yay ith-way uo-yay ompletely-cay!".
There are languages that allow more than ASCII, and that's not what happens in them.
I think it means that pros try to use an ECS but often fallback to object spaghetti. But I might be wrong
funnily enough, the Russian also spells "iterator", just in Cyrillic. But your point stands nonetheless.

Well rootless podman works before 1.0, but we have had many issues to work out. Overall it works very well.
Our outrage is too diluted. We should pick one or two per year and focus. Otherwise progressives get laughed at for being outraged at everything.
Something like coil.com might be a viable alternative. At the moment I don't subscribe to news sites because of this issue. If I could pay upfront and then split it by usage I would definitely go for it

There are secular AA programs. I attend a couple in my area, have found them to be extremely helpful as a support group, and would not label them as a "church group".

Physicians aren't a cure-all, because there's no guarantee they've been trained in addiction medicine. After a few doctor visits and them hearing the word "anxiety", you might just leave with a new prescription to Xanax or some other benzo, which could be a virtual death-sentence for someone with a dual-diagnosis.
I did not see a mention in this article regarding the average expected price premium for a Loop-version of a product versus a non-recycle/upcycle version of the same product.

I went looking for additional details to see if I could track down an answer, but I haven’t clear indication. Granted it’s a new(ish) model and the consortium is likely in the middle of market research and pricing experimentation.

A packaging industry news source, Packing Digest, has additional information about the offering and an interview with TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky[0]. In it I get a glimpse of the subscription-based, mid-sized ordering model they seem be leaning to:

“Q:: If consumers return the package for refilling/reuse once it’s empty, won’t they run out of product? Or is the concept to create a pool of packages that are reused for/by different consumers? For that matter, is the concept to create a pool of packages that are used/reused for/by different brands?

TerraCycle: Loop brings to market a new subscription model: subscription based on consumption. Since the empty packages are returned to Loop, we are aware of consumers’ consumption rates and replenish only when they have finished the product. The target for turnaround is two days.”

Reusable glass bottle milk delivery (direct from a local dairy) and retail sales (Whole Foods, your local boutique health food store, etc.) have worked because it’s a commodity product, available in reasonable quantities on demand, and bottles can be stockpiled for a time before being returned if needed. The deposit costs aren’t (at least where I am located) a make-or-break situation, but ultimately I buy them less for the ecological benefits, though I recognize them, and more for the quality differences when compared to the waxed cardboard, ultra-pasteurized regional alternatives.

Would I spend more for the same P&G or Unilever products? Especially if I had to pay an upfront premium for the product, worry about a deposit, AND handle my own return shipping? I’m not sure.

A new requirement comes in: I have an idea for a special kind of item that when the player holds it and its near a specific kind of enemy, it will glow. The enemies that trigger this should be scared of the item and back away, but have a special animation where they’re mesmerized by the glowing item. This should only work for players that have achieved some specific quest goal.

Exactly what I had thought.

Valve has basically done this for video games, except it's centralised.

So this takes the "login with Facebook" idea to "purchase with [X]".
I can't stand how poorly sound-isolated the conference rooms and offices are. I have literally been standing outside a conference room, waiting for my meeting to start, and overheard the details of a company shutting down. The private offices that we pay good money for aren't much better. Because they use single-paned glass (cheap) you can hear every foot step, conversation, or other random noise from any office or hallway near you.

What's even more hilarious? Our door locks seized closed for a couple of days, and their fix was to just open all of the locks and leave the entire WeWork unlocked with a single security guard there during business hours. Ridiculous.
It would seem that pay-per-use would be a better model for products used infrequently... for example, tax filing software.
Haha, ok. I'm even lower on that scale: not even a hobbyist game programmer.

I thought they actually just use structs and whatever data structure works.
The marketer in me shuddered when I saw that - if I were in the States I'd literally offer to redo that for free. As you mention, short of being an intentional spoof, it's about as skewed as a promo as you can get.
Kebab-case is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of identifier cases, but how would you get around the ambiguity with subtraction, short of going full Lisp or adding whitespace sensitivity?

Why subscribe to several newspapers

Because a great deal of journalism is not just a matter of individual authors. You can't report from Aleppo or commission polls or or spend months investigating something complicated as a hobby.
>When I got married, I subscribed to Photoshop CC to create something as a gift for my wife, I used it once, and was then stuck in a 1 year contract,

To be fair in your situation I would have a hard time justifying the one-time purchase price if they still offered it. Back when they had this business model Photoshop CS6 cost about $700, there are cheaper alternatives for a one-time use unless you absolutely required Photoshop and piracy wasn't an option.

But more generally I feel your pain. I prefer the model where you get updates as long as you pay for the license but if you stop you get to keep whatever version you're currently using as-is. Photoshop on the other hand becomes unusable if you stop paying for the subscription.

>I don't mind this model for some things, consumables, such as coffee, fine, Netflix, which I use frequently, fine, but this only suits my usage, and others probably have other things in that list they use frequently.

I actually wouldn't like that for coffee because my usage is not always the same. Sometimes I have guests and I need more, sometimes I'm on vacations and I use less.

I think the subscription model works best for things that are constantly moving and require constant updates and maintenance. Netflix's catalogue is always changing so it makes sense to pay a subscription. Some software is updated constantly and it makes sense to pay to always have the latest version. Often you also get support which might be absolutely necessary with some expensive professional software.

For applications like Photoshop that arguably don't need to be updated that aggressively it seems more like a scam to get more money in the long run without having to come up with meaningful new features to motivate the users to buy newer versions. Just purchase a Photoshop license and pay forever and ever.
Right there are many reasons to run podman as "real" root as well. Using containers within systemd unit files, is one use case. Setting up a docker daemon to run a single container at boot is way overkill. If you just use podman within a unit file to start/stop containers, it works really well, and does not sit around using up memory and allowing others to communicate with it.
If you accidentally pay for trash, you're not going to pay for it in the future, right? You'll be wary of that author / publication.

If enough people stop paying that author, they go out of business.

It shifts the onus to the content producer to make content people want to pay for, and not making the consumer decided between subscribing to a platform which is 50/50 good/bad.

This is the business model improvement I’m anticipating will make all the difference. Localized supply chains (conceptually) should reduce end-consumer cost, but it will be an uphill battle until wider adoption makes it feasible.
The term “Artificial Intelligence” is widespread these days. Once, It was considered fictional that robots will act like a human and eventually take human place. But, now we can see that technology is transforming this fiction into reality.

I think if we push this to the limit we would all be writing assembler or making circuits :)
Yeah, that is certainly the reasoning that pushing prices up is based on in London.

Another angle is that more expensive properties are more efficient, so the bubble of foreign investment in property has lead to a rise in the construction of hyper-premium properties which the market does not especially demand, and a lack of construction of mid-range or lower tier housing, pushing the prices up in those sectors.
I certainly agree that it's beneficial to the consumer, but... I subscribe to the local paper which shares my political view, and I only read one of the opposing papers whenever I get a chance. I appreciate the same aspects as you do, it just doesn't seem likely I'll spend actual money subscribing to the other paper, when that would in fact be equal to financing a political movement I disagree with. I bet others feel the same.

What GP writes about, though, reads more like the future of entertainment, not news. I don't see the harm in that, as long as there are ways to get recommended other stuff than what you watch every day.

One side effect of this narrowing of channels is, I seem to have fewer and fewer cultural references in common with my more senior colleagues who still watch broadcast TV.

Them: Did you watch the game last night?
Me: Do you mean CS GO Katowice qualifiers or the big DOTA tournament?

The disease model of addiction ( a la AA) has been thoroughly discredited by science. Indeed believing in the disease model is a primary determinant of relapse. The incredible work of Stanton Peele in the US is the route that "addiction treatment" should move towards.
I've been a solo dev for about 7 years now, these are my findings:

# Working from home ('free')

Working from home is great for about 6 months, then isolation kicks in and the divide between work and relaxing disappears. Given my situation (single, no kids) I quickly become very lonely. A separate in house office helps for a separation between work and not-work, as long as you have the discipline not to use your office space for something else. (locking your office after work hours helps).

# Renting an office (~1000 eur/month)

Can quickly become lonely as well, and can be quite expensive once you add costs for the cafeteria, internet, insurance etc. It does give you social interaction during lunch breaks, and no disturbance during work. There is also a very distinct separation of work and relax time. I did this for a couple of years, but once again I felt lonely and was craving for social interaction, a.k.a. colleagues.

# Coworking place (~300 eur/month)

This is my current setup, I rent a fixed desk in a large open space. In this space there are about ~8 fixed desks and about 10 flex spaces. We have sound insulated phone booths, so it's usually pretty quiet here. My 'coworkers' don't understand my work but that's ok. I use noise-canceling headphones when I need to concentrate. Personally I love it, it's been my favorite setup so far.

Setting aside penalties for a moment, what is the minimum set of changes to programmatic advertising practices that would bring it into compliance with GDPR? Would removing the targeting categories that relate to intimate data be sufficient? Or is something deeper, more structural in the crosshairs?
I haven't had a great experience with co-working at all, I wish there was something like Breather where I live.

Has anyone here had experience with Breather.com?

I work from home but would really like to tap into that "private space" vibe now and then. Regus is available here but it feels like going to the "PC room" in 1999.
No, it's not. Downvotes are not for opinions you disagree with.
In a language like C# you still need to put those static methods in a class.

Even extension methods need to go in a class (albeit a static class).

It would be nice if you could define functions that lived in a namespace.

+1 on this. I was terrible with money till I started using it a few years ago. I was one of those people with a good job but nothing to show for it. Using YNAB made me realize i was frittering most of my money away on lots of little purchases here and there. YNAB enabled me to see this and I drastically altered my spending.
Also, a few years ago I had to take over my fathers business. Subsequently, this involved me having to take a substantial pay cut. I wouldn't have been able to do this without YNAB and budgeting.

Well I am not sure. It's a good story to tell if the person is someone important in the community that has for example written important books or invented something that is useful.

If it's just worker-bee man-hours I guess it would be better value-for-money to buy a seiko and tell the story of the factory and how it's made using such complicated processes and optimizations (not sure assumption about seiko factory using complicated processes is right).

10 lessons from a miserable software business failure
I recommend not spending too much time researching the license. For copyleft there are not that many choices that are standard enough for people to be comfortable using your code (GPL, LGPL, MPLv2 and maybe some ecosystem specific licenses like the EPL).

For BSD-style licenses there is Apache for large projects (which has your back) and a myriad of others that does not.
I visited Singapore once to visit a close friend. I had the impression that it was a city designed for work, and that very little of it grew organically.

But then, I'm a bad judge of cities since I find comfort in the chaos of Delhi.

I did like how walkable Singapore is.

Fair. But you and I would pay for "not nice, but brutally honest journalism". I bet a lot of other would too. Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" is historical proof of that.

There's no reason a the authors couldn't write under pseudonyms, or publish as a collective. You still buy the articles one by one as you see fit.
No one is claiming Chinese programmers should only code in Chinese, but to assert that they or anyone must code in American English for the convenience of Western programmers seems absurd. Should they also be forced to write all of their novels and perform all of their movies and music in English as well?

We live in a multicultural world, one for which English as a default doesn't make sense in every context. Yes, it may be the case that Chinese, Spanish, Greek, German, Arabic, or other non-American ideogram using programmers write code primarily meant to be used and understood within their own culture. I see nothing wrong with that.

Parmigiano-Reggiano: Italy's 'practically perfect' food
My family bought the Sunday paper (longer and more expensive than the weekday editions) at a newsstand. I wouldn't be so sure subscriptions were most of their revenues -- they were actually discounted wrt what you would pay at the newsstand. Yet newsstands existed.
Flynn can be run in single computer mode or any multiple of N+1. The issue with running single computer mode on Flynn is that if the Flynn core modules become unstable (most likely due to lack of RAM), you'll probably need to wait for self healing. In multi computer mode, you can basically kill 2 of the computers and still be functional.

Their standard mode prioritizes your apps over their management layer so if you happen to deploy an app that eats up all the RAM, expect to hard reboot that host in order to get the management layer back.

Current news syndication model is outdated and will change in next 10-20 years.

Current model:

Newspapers & media platforms use syndication. They get most of their news syndicated from others journals and media. The editor chooses what to print or publish.

Future model:

Newspapers & media platforms use syndication. They get most of their news syndicated from others journals and media. It's the reader who decides what he reads from the syndicated news.

In the future you have an account in your favorite content news syndication service/newspaper/platform and pay flat monthly subscription fee by default. You can surf in the internet and read anything you want. Every month the service you subscribed distributes payments from the syndicated media according to what you read.
There are different levels of payments. Some content is more expensive than other. You can also sponsor, tip etc. Some pay more because they consume more expensive content or more content.

ps. The same model will work for movies, games etc. You can watch HBO movies from Netflix and vice versa.

The difference is that buildah's only job in the world is to build OCI Images. Podman is more about running containers so
It's containers are a lot more generalized.

Buildah containers and buildah run are far different in concept then podman run is. Buildah run == Dockerfile RUN. So we don't support a lot of the additional commands that are available for podman run and have decided to keep the format different. Podman has a large database, that we felt would confuse matters when it came to podman run.

I tell people if you just want to build with Dockerfiles, then just use podman, and forget about buildah. Buildah and its library are for building OCI images and hopefully embedding into other tools in addition to podman like OpenShift Source2Image and ansible-bender. As well as allowing people to build containwer images using standard BASH commands rather then requiring everyone to use Dockerfile. Podman build only supports Dockerfile.
Ask HN: What kind of information do you look for before learning/using new tech?
Hey. I am currently writing a blog post about my experience with Elixir. I aim to write about things I liked, but also I want to describe stuff that I just hated or disliked. Because I've noticed that people always try to praise the new tech they are using, but rarely point out bad things. And the truth is that learning a new technology is many times very time/money consuming process.
These are indeed tricky problems to solve.

They're also googles problems to solve, not societies. We're not required to provide solutions for them.

If google can't solve them, maybe that means google's business model is illegal.
I by no means and expert on the subject, but I believe that the "simplest" change would be to target based on content, rather than the individual user.
However the support for those things that are on alibaba, ebay etc. (Proxmark3 v3 Easy) is supposedly going away.

I've just tried to find a page with the reasons about why they're no longer supporting it, but I've failed to find it.

I seem to remember it's something to do with wanting to support the more fancy versions that cos 5-10x more :/

However I can't find the page, so maybe I'm not remembering something correctly.
It might be beamer.
