If programs like this actually worked, they might be OK. And by "worked", I mean that clients generally graduated with enough experience and references to get well-paying jobs.

But it seems that they don't work. And that they're just a bullshit cover for slavery.
I hate ads as much as any reasonable person, but I don't think this is an example of the web being broken. Wired is a magazine, it shouldn't be at all surprising that they would try to monetize their content. They have the right to be as obnoxious as they like about it.

What's broken is the model of advertising on the web, the unregulated cesspool of greed, malware, tracking and dark patterns that led the public to inevitably reject ads wholesale as soon as it became widely known that it was possible to do so, and easy to implement.

It's business and corporate interests that have to find a way to survive on the web, but the web itself will be fine with or without them.

You can't compare Britain in the post-Roman area with Rome at the height of empire.

London in the "Dark Ages" didn't have aqueducts. But Londinium was part of the periphery of the empire, and it also never had aqueducts. There's not that much information to be gained by cherry picking the elements of the central core of the Roman Empire and asking why they weren't present in far flung areas in the post-Roman era.

Skeletons show that people were relatively healthier (at least in the periphery) after Rome had fallen than when Rome had dominated these regions.
> Most people couldn't care less about this,

Please stop saying things like this. Ironically, this is a "HN-ism". It is first a misunderstanding of people, and secondly a misunderstanding of privacy.

People care about their privacy when it comes up. Until people start being personally impacted, not much movement will happen. Saying "your facebook data was leaked to some analytics firm" is not going to trigger much panic. Saying "your credit card was stolen by hackers" would, which is why people reacted much more voraciously to the Target breach, than Facebook.
Ads are opt in and this has been the stated plan basically since the beginning.
> Mr. Musk, who had previously said the company did not need more capital, indicated that he had changed his mind because Tesla was now in a position to use capital more efficiently.

This concluding paragraph contradicts a quote in the middle of the article that explained the loss is due to inefficiency ("spiking costs for obvious strategy missteps really drew blood at the bottom line"). NYTimes journalists enjoy making Elon Musk look dumb, like when he smoked weed with Joe Rogan.
Yes.

S&P 500 E-mini futures have a notional value of roughly $147,000 right now, and on average, 1-2 million contracts change hands daily.

On average, about 35 billion dollars of SPY, a single S&P 500 ETF is traded daily.

It's hard to find accurate BTC average daily volume numbers, but probably somewhere between 1 and 10 billion dollars daily.

So yes, bitcoin is an extremely thin market compared to the market depth of 2 extremely liquid assets, both of which pale in comparison to the 550 billion USD daily volume of the treasuries market.

BTC does have the tightest bid/ask spread of pretty much any asset that is traded, as a percentage of the asset's value. It's typically a penny to a few cents on the major exchanges, which is a few thousandths of a percent.
That is the entire point. Europeans have less disposable income because of higher taxes, and Americans have more disposable income but have to spend it on things paid for in Europe by taxes.

Education fits this pattern too.
Probably because the 737 issues were software related. And the trend of airline news is just up in general because of that whole ordeal. News outlets make articles of things that are currently relevant.

It’ll probably slow down soon.

You're lumping all publishers together. Brave blocks static banner ads whether they track you or not - whether they're served by an ad network or not. Whether it's delivered by a for-profit or non-profit.

Brave's stated model is disingenuous at best.
Let's wait and see how they get treated on the open. The week's not over yet!
Brave's an open-source, privacy-respecting browser with a digital wallet baked in.

The microtransaction opportunities that are opened up by having such a low-friction economic layer native to the browser is what's particularly interesting about Brave.

Even the criticisms of Brave's microtransaction potential are encouraging, because they're usually unserious, rely on hand-waving references to previous weak and incomparable attempts and appear to emanate from accounts that have an agenda beyond good-faith technical / behavioural evaluation.

I understand the need to incorporate an optional ad network within it, and already see that it's a far superior model compared to the current ad-tech ecosystem that it can and should replace.

It remains to be seen whether it can get commercial traction but considering how quickly and deeply the mood has shifted against Google / Facebook / the current ad-tech ecosystem you'd have to say there has been no better time to trial a new approach to funding content on the web.

I see this trend continuing for Tesla. Aside from Musk's leadership, which is very polarizing, I don't see their cars as being very compelling compared to the upcoming offerings of Audi and Porsche.

Tesla isn't really competing against Ford/Chevy/Honda/Toyota. Instead they are competing against BMW/Mercedes/Porsche/Audi. By comparison Teslas seems like a toy compared to those other brands so I will gladly wait and give either Audi/BMW/Porsche my money as I know what type of support I will get from each.
Until this moment I never considered that I could be harmed by buying things that go in and on my body from Amazon. Thank you.

Weird, they gave me back mine faster than I thought ACH would normally hit (this was maybe a month ago).
What does systemd have to do with reproducible builds, beyond the fact that it also consists of binaries that could possibly be built in a reproducible way?
Sounds like a process problem. Why don’t you have a CloudFormation template, with the IAM role you need and the lambda function and have it deployed in DEV Account that you hand off to the powers that be?
"Biology is hard" doesn't really express what I think people don't get about biology (granted I'm not a biologist).

With everything complex, not just living creatures, the real problems are caused by failure to maintain a negative feedback loop properly, and pushing on it doesn't help because the negative feedback is still there almost the same way as normal and has to be to avert complete disaster.
So you didn’t test it in a dev account first?
I've been waiting four years and counting... Model X reservation. Every time I call, I get a new person (Because the last person I talked to doesn't work there anymore) and they swear that they will certainly solve this for me! And then I never hear from them again.
I think the study of cortical implants is interesting for this question because they touch the same questions basically.

Cortical implants basically form the opposite side by providing a direct interface between machines and the brain. They are already available and deployed in medical contexts. Why aren't they deployed in healthy people as well?

They have pretty cool advantages. With them, you can listen to music, etc. without being affected by outside noises (unless you want to). Imagine having a phone call in a noisy environment and you can actually hear stuff. Imagine your neighbours having a loud party but you can still sleep tight because you turned it into sleep mode where only fire alarms may disturb you. How many conflicts you could avoid!

However, cortical implants have heavy disadvantages: They give you worse hearing quality than normal hearing, they require surgery, and also need devices on the outside that are in contact with them. That's why they aren't useful for healthy humans yet. But maybe, with improvement, one day they will become.

Basically, the problems of this technology will be the same: worse quality, requirement for surgery, requirement for extra devices to carry around.
I'm no fan of Musk's, but it's so disingenuous and discrediting to say things like that.

Musk very clearly did _not_ get stoned with Joe. Taking a puff off of a joint is akin to taking a drink or two of beer. You're going to have much more of a placebo than anything.

There's no reason to lie to make Musk look stupid. He's doing that plenty well himself.
As someone who does not have any stake in Tesla, I dont see a path forward for them without a company with the bank account on the scale of Apple/Google/Amazon funding them. Bootstrapping software is hard, hardware is harder, cars are 10x harder than those squared...
Whenever I see these kinds of changes I wonder if the company has any idea of why people use their product.

Given the comments here, either Stripe has no idea that people use Checkout for the single page experience, or they do know it and are just happy to nuke 50% of their customer base for reasons.

It’s just a different product. But it’s being released as a new version of an old one.
My 2012 Subaru needed a new clutch recently. To your point, it was at about 80k miles. Mitigating that point, it was going to cost $2500 in parts and labor to get it replaced at the dealership (and it wasn't all that cheaper at the mom and pops).

Having said that, I also own a Tesla Model 3. It's probably a myth that maintenance is much less. Something about the weight distribution (or maybe it's the sheer torque) causes tires to last less than 30k miles. I'm finding this to be true in my own experience. And a set of tires will set us back nearly $1000.

Lots of great reasons to own a Model 3. Significantly reduced maintenance costs probably isn't one of them.

Anecdotally, my own experience with chronic back issues is the reverse, and jives with the explanation I was given. My lowest 3 disks are degenerating, with the bottom disk almost gone. About 8 years ago I had to have a laminectomy due to a disk bulge pushing against a nerve, and no amount of NSAIDs nor physical therapy would fix it.

I had herniated disks before and after, but only one required surgery. For as long as I can remember, I'll get severe back pain once or twice a year, which eventually goes away. The explanation I received for these events is that it is likely that the outer sheath of a disk is getting torn, stretched, or some other type of trauma. This hurts in and of itself, however, additionally the disk material may begin to bulge. Once bulging, that part of the disk loses access to nutrients and moisture and eventually dries up, with the bulge receding and the damage scarring over. The doctor described this like a grape to a raisin, though I'm sure it looks nothing like the analogy.

Summary, with time, the disk sheathing trauma scars and the bulge dessicates, possibly about the same time NSAIDs are declared of no help.

For me, I definitely notice much less pressure in my back when on an NSAID, and I sleep much better as well.

Lets say Mark gets in a waterballoon fight, but with the balloons full of gasoline. Lets say this happens in hospital. Mark is aware that his behavior is likely to result in great harm, many deaths. He doesn't _want_ people to die, it's not his goal, he just doesn't care that he's putting them in danger. He wants to have fun with his balloons, and that's all that matters to him.

Mark isn't trying to kill people. Mark _is_ evil, because he chooses to take actions that are likely to cause great harm.

Thanks, McCormick looks like a really interesting source. This seems to support the notion that however you define 'Dark Ages' the darkness was in Europe, especially the north and west, not necessarily elsewhere.

Conditions were quite the opposite in many lands conquered by Moslem forces, as shown by the art, mathematics, literature, military technology, economics and other evidence characteristic of highly functioning societies. It's not surprising travelers felt safer there. I'm thinking for example of the Umayyad Califate.
This can be a highly effective form of writing when done well.

A strong setup can certainly pull readers in. The problem is often most inexperienced writers use such a setup to clear away their "mind fog" and get to the point. And once the words are on the page it's hard to remove them (nobody wants wasted effort).

My guidance to new writers is always this: start with two bulleted items. First is a question or priming sentence. Second is the conclusion the reader will takeaway after reading what you've written.

Once you have those two bullet points you make them part of your first paragraph AND use them to structure the entirety of the piece (just add more bullet items between the first and second points).

On what basis are you saying that it is a myth?

During the BSD lawsuit, free software was not widely understood, the company doing the suing (AT&T) was one of the biggest in the world, and the one being sued (BSDI) was a nobody by comparison. It was clear that AT&T had grounds for a real case. Everyone I know that was there says that there was real fear of the outcome. And I've known a lot who were there.

By contrast when the SCO lawsuit happened, open source was far better understood, it was a small company (SCO) doing the suing, and the companies being sued were the biggest in the world (starting with IBM). This threat was far less credible, and if it failed, everyone assumed that they would get lost in the shuffle.

It didn't hurt for the latter case that groklaw stepped up and there were endless well-informed people who said that the case was groundless. And no, I don't just mean nerds who read slashdot. But also most of the tech media, various interested lawyers, and so on.

Horrible quarter for them. If they don't resolve their issues with the SEC and raise capital, they will run out of cash in months.
Are you saying you should not be allowed to defend yourself if you are kidnapped by an entity that is not the state?
I haven't, no. It looks like a competitor (if it isn't a rebrand) of a Behringer XM8500. Which are fine cheapo mics, and really good for stuff like on-stage performance or karaoke or whatever. But I, for my purposes, am using those sE L7s as something of a knockoff of a broadcast mic, with decent-to-good plosive handling and very strong off-axis rejection (they're supercardioid microphones). So, while they're more expensive, they exactly fit my needs.

Lots more interesting options exist in condensers, IMO, than in dynamics. The sE V7 is a standout in the space. Honestly, from my experience, the only real upgrade in the "quiet room, sitting down" dynamic microphone realm is an Electro-Voice RE20 (if I want "newsy" or a Shure SM7b (if I want "aggressively neutral"); both are amazing microphones but neither are as notably bright as a V7. There's one interesting option in the Beyerdynamic TG V70d for some stuff, because it has a dangerous amount of proximity effect, but it's more "interesting" than "good".
Minor nit. Every language you mentioned with a GC is not a systems language.
We can't trust what they say but either way, most phone traffic is probably VOIP nowadays (not traditional phone, so that program is probably obsolete?)...

To be fair those ideas about mind-reading aren't absurd to bring up. Yes this device requires ECoG, but maybe this paves the road to figure out how to do something similar with an EEG helmet.

The employer listening to your thoughts thing? yea I doubt it. Maybe possible at some point but unlikely it would be normalized anytime soon.
I think the smartest thing Musk ever did for Tesla was to start sending rockets into space and landing them over and over.

It really makes you think, "Hey, if they can do all that rocket science, they can probably make a sedan."

(This is mostly a joke... but it's also not entirely a joke)
I'm not an expert in this field, but it seems like any mind reading we can do today with ECoG we can do tomorrow (or next decade) with EEG; the invasive electrodes make it easier, but we should be able to read signals non-invasively with better clarity in the future. When you say it won't be cheap/easy "any time soon," what does that mean to you? 10 years? 50? 100? The privacy concerns seem valid to me, though I'm not saying the sky is falling. I look forward to thinking text into a computer. I'd be extremely skeptical of any company demanding that I put their hardware on my scalp, but I'd be willing to put my hardware on my scalp and present some limited interface between it and the company hardware. Also, I expect the problems with invasive surgery to decline.
The irony is that Tesla was supposed to bankroll SpaceX, but SpaceX is killing it on profits and Tesla is floundering. If anything it looks like SpaceX will end up bankrolling Tesla.

Musk should forget about trying to save this planet and focus on getting to the red one.

The hell kind of weak weed are you smoking? :^)
To be fair, with the boring company, smoking a joint live, calling a rescuer a paedophile, getting slapped by the SEC for his tweets, and messages about turning teslas into self-driving cars incredulously soon, all an NYTimes journalist needs to do to make Elon Musk look dumb is report what he actually does...

Even the recently announced closing of retail sales centers (that's a bold strategy cotton, lets see if that pays off for him) and then "woops, can't shut them all after all", if this was anyone else but someone with an internet cult of personality, an objective analyst would be telling you to stay the hell away from this company, because from outside it looks like a mismanaged train-wreck being run by an out of control nutter...
Yeah, bad wording, changed it to "smoked weed" to match the NYTimes narrative: "Elon Musk Smoked Weed On Air" [0]

Yes, I confirmed that by pasting it into the REPL and verifying that it gives the wrong answer for a one-element list. Apparently the author failed to follow his own advice to always test code that you write.
I think one thing missing in the responses here is that there is some culpability without intent. Assume there was not ill intent, the fact that so many things that went on still happens, means they didn't have sufficient controls, or checks and balances in the practices to prevent it from happening. That lack of control is itself part of the problem, and something they could have fixed any number of times.

My 9 year old son always rightfully claims that many of the harmful things he does was accidental. The problem is that he frequently leaves little margin for error in a lot of things he does. Follows his sister just a few feet behind his bike; of course your going to run into her if she stops quickly. Stacking your bowl, cup and silverware on your plate then bring it up one handed; of course they're going to spill.

Facebook's internal controls and practices are insufficient to manage their business. It doesn't matter if they didn't willfully intend to do all of the shit they did. They did intentionally create the controls, practices, and culture in place that allowed it to happen.

Okay. Neither does my "suggested options".
I follow a lot of cooking subreddits. I think it was charming in the earlier days of food blogging, but today it seems every recipe reader is beyond tired of it.

Part of the problem is that almost every food blogger is emulating the exact same character. It's the same harried but still whipping something creative together, educated but conspicuously mentions liking a glass of wine, love-my-kids-but-man-do-they-get-on-my-nerves persona. It's the 2010's white sitcom parent writ large.
