My mind is blown that these sites were actually getting paid subscribers. I thought the beauty of piracy is the whole "not paying for it" thing.

I refuse to pay for more than one subscription service, I'm not going to end up paying more than I did for cable tv. Hulu still wins for me because it has the live/local tv, and I'm not giving Disney anymore money.

Not always. It's quite often a way of giving the organisation a formal out, a way of admitting 'we dun goofed'.
Totally, the reality is : smell is masked and air is full of chemical components harmful to your health [0]. Our olfactory receptors are there to protect us. It should be noted that persons with bad perception of odors are closer to their end [1]. At least, use some natural products which may be dangerous, but for those, our body has had generations of evolution to tolerate those.

There is nothing like odour destruction. It's just tricking the nose into believing that another scent is around. Odours add in bizarre ways. If something smells bad, 1) open the window and 2) solve the root cause.

I like learning about people, but I would only ask “how’s your relationship with your mother/father?” if I already think the person’s unusually open. It’s a pretty direct “therapy”-style question, and some people don’t like feeling analyzed that way.

But it’s not that hard to get there a little less directly. If you just ask about people’s days and weekends, their parents will come up at some point. Then you can ask more gradually and organically.
A very strange use of scare quotes by the BBC.

The guy blew up his car with an excessive use of air freshener. "Blow up" isn't a precise technical term we need to worry about abusing. "Excessive" might be subjective or subject to debate, but when the resulting damage is enough to blow out the windows and bend the sheet metal, let's just go with excessive.

Hi Community,

I just started my way in product business and want to get suggestions from more experienced people about how the mobile app can be promoted with limited budget.

I've created an IOS app for tracking net worth. Actually I was responsible for idea in general and did testing. Development, design and other things were outsourced from my personal savings. From the beginning to release was spent a half of a year, hundreds of hours and thousand dollars. It was much more than I expected so almost all budget that I planned was spent on the development.

When the app was released I've tried to push it via social network. I bought Ads in FB and Instagram, but the ads gave nothing. The same thing with ProductHunt and similar services. Social ads didn't give any boost at all, posting on services/forums gives a few more downloads in the day when it was posted and that's all. Day after that new downloads again become near to 0.

Also I spent some money to configure ASO for the app, but didn't see any boost as well. So daily my app is downloaded by 0-5 new users which is which is a very low rate.

I know that big companies spend thousand dollars on promotion, but how to be if you are one person company?

I would be very exiting to hear you experience about promoting mobile application.

If you are interested link to my app and website bellow. Would be happy to hear any feedback about app's idea as well :)

1. Most people like to live.

2. Most people at the bitter end are past the ability to make decisions.
I'm often not brave enough myself but I appreciate when someone does this. I immediately feel more recognized and these conversations feel more genuine.

Conversations about stuff people actually care about are much easier to keep interesting, whereas making small-talk interesting is a skill in itself (which I don't have).

It should come with a package of open mindedness and preferably humor too to create a comfortable atmosphere.
I didn't even realise it was Data until reading the article. I just thought Mark's eyes were looking a little weird.
And that delta is cut in about half if you look at share of employment as opposed to total population (which includes retired people, etc.)

By the time you take into account commuters from outside the metro county, I wonder how much difference there is at all.

And clearly the two numbers have to be highly correlated. Most people live near where their jobs are and the combination of their consumption and the money they're paid are big components of GDP.

So while employment concentration and GDP concentration may be interesting, they're pretty much different measures of more or less the same thing.

As someone who knows several people who wanted to adopt - it's not as easy as you might think (at least unless you are able to spend a lot of money adopting children from abroad).

Adopting older kids who come from problematic backgrounds has a significant probability of them having experienced some sort of trauma before they got to you. It's absolutely a great thing to do to take care of these kids but potentially very difficult as well.

This is why it's very difficult to get to adopt babies - they are the ones that everyone wants. Not saying this should make anyone not adopt just that it's not as easy as you seem to think - western countries actually don't have that many orphans & a lot of people who want to adopt them (which is of course a good thing!).
I experimented with changing the config so that the vim keys remain in the same physical qwerty locations and I suppose if you have super strong muscle memory for vim commands it probably makes sense to do that, but I didn’t so ultimately decided not to remap keys. Yes my hjkl are in weird locations, but I actually got used to it quit quickly (and on my kinesis advantage, I just use the cursor keys since their in reach).

Used to map navigation to AltGr+u/n/e/i (for up down left right), so qwerty i/k/j/l which was a suoer comfortable way for me to navigate (left thumb on AltGr and then wasd style cursors) but since I got the kinesis keyboard, I haven’t bothered. I do still use windows key + unei for navigating in i3
I am happy to share my perspective on this. I feel a really good blog on this topic is Bret Victor's blog post - What can a technologist do about climate change?

http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/

One of the clear recommendations is - contribute to Julia. A lot of what Bret said in 2015 has actually panned out. Julia has become a powerful language for scientific computing and machine learning. As a result it is being used in climate projects such as Climate Machine (MIT and Caltech). The Julia Lab at MIT participates in this project:

Climate Machine: https://clima.caltech.edu/
Github: https://github.com/climate-machine/
Julia Lab: http://julia.mit.edu/

Contributions to Julia packages (compiler, stdlibs, math packages, ML packages, parallel computing) will end up finding their way into climate research, because of the extensive reuse of code within the Julia ecosystem. Specifically capabilities such as Zygote.jl (https://github.com/FluxML/Zygote.jl) for differentiable programming have the potential to dramatically make it easy to apply ML techniques to scientific codebases. Compiler contributors are hard to come along, so all contributions to compiler technology are incredibly valuable. The DiffEqFlux.jl ecosystem in Julia is a good example of combining mechanistic models with ML (https://github.com/JuliaDiffEq/DiffEqFlux.jl). Hop on to the Julia slack channel or discourse to dig in deeper.

Another thing Bret Victor speaks about in his blog post is working with agencies such as ARPA-E on advanced projects. Julia Computing is participating in an ARPA-E project to bring these capabilities to many energy related simulation and development technologies. This press release gives a broad idea:

ARPA-E press release: https://www.energy.gov/articles/department-energy-announces-...

"What came was next was a bait and switch that resulted in cesspools of advertising, tracking, and a mess of curated content that promotes outrage and polarization because it keeps people on the page and clicking links."

So was it really a bait and switch or part of the mantra it was given on we just didn't look that far ahead?

>"Consider Phlebas," and maybe the rest of The Culture series of novels, by Iain Banks

Oh man, this will start a shitstorm, because it's so subjective, but Consider Phlebas isn't the best intro to the culture series. I would start with Either Player of Games or Use of Weapons.

Now let's hear from everyone who disagrees with me.
Not sure why you are getting down voted other than what you are saying is an unpopular truth. In general, rent seeking is at all-time highs and something will break because a large number of Americans are making $15/hr or less and that's just not sustainable in a nation where health care costs have skyrocketed, education costs have skyrocketed, food, fuel and basic necessities are seeing price inflation, all the while these billionaires are throwing around dollar figures with 8, 9, 10 zeros at the end. The rest of us still count our change for a lunch that used to cost $6.39 but now costs $12.98.

I just personally feel like pitchforks and torches aren't that far off for real.

I don't really understand this argument at all. We've been in this "post truth" world for a long time already for every form of media other than video. Text quotes, photos, and audio can all be easily faked. If I post a ridiculous quote here and say it's from Obama, you won't believe me. But if the NYTimes does the same thing, it carries a lot more weight. We've been here for a long time already, now those standards will just apply to video as well. Doesn't seem that crazy.

Also, I'm fascinated by the idea of using AI to detect the use of AI. How good will your deep fake have to be in order to fool a deep fake detection AI?
Keep in mind that download numbers are severely inflated. I have downloaded termux at least 5 to 10 times over the years and I've only really used it once or twice.

Just because someone installs an app doesn't mean they use it every day. Reading the reviews, most people seem to just use it as a basic terminal emulator, like there are so many on the play store.

Those people aren't going to notice anything about no longer being able to compile executables.

If you package the compiler with termux and output the APK to a shared location, nothing about this article will change after Google's future modification.

Applescript seems to have been a mistake in that it is too irregular and programmers don't learn and use it. I researched the most highly thought of books on Applescript and even they were emphasizing how hard it was to know thoroughly.
I heavily recommend the Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Republic, and Phaedrus (in particular) - it’s said all of philosophy is a footnote on Plato until Nietzsche. I think only a summary of Schopenhauer (like a penguin selection or something) is all that’s needed - he moves past Schopenhauer pretty quickly.

I enjoyed Camus due to it being an attempt to move beyond Nietzsche and offer something more digestible, but I never moved past the Nietzsche/Plato combo for my personal philosophies (with a heavy dash of stoicism)

Re forms: I find that Plato’s forms are one of the most used mental models I engage with - especially working with software.

Or regulation that curbs our outlaws this cancerous business model. If you can't profit without wasting people's time and/or stalking them then you shouldn't be in business.

We have regulation that somewhat works (there are exceptions of course and corruption is a thing, but at least there's an attempt) for other negative impacts on society (environmental damage, etc) but absolutely nothing for tech despite these new apps & services turning people into addicted zombies.
Nice. I purchased the extension, and then stopped using chrome.

why?
> Your argument being? That human-induced global warming affecting the life of millions, potentially billions of people, should be ignored because worse has happened in Earth's history? Because humans also adversely affect different parameters of the environment?

No.

My argument is, fuck the climatists, and their self-good crusade, since its not good, and their suggested solutions would actually cause more poverty and hurt poor people more.

My argument is, the rich are the problem, not pollution per se. 0.1% of the world population can pollute and destroy the environment of the rest. They can even ensalve the rest without destroying the environment.

Thats where the problem lies, oppression of the very few on the many, thats the problem we need to solve. The "climate atmospherists" are a side-show, stealing the light from the real issues.

EDIT: scientific consensus

Im not arguing against sci consensus, this climate issue is not "science" its politics, and should be treated as such. Everything is politics, remember that.

There's a good deal of observation bias at play here.

We currently track the "average annual daily global mean temperature" to somewhere around 4 digits of precision, with an accuracy of around 3 digits of precision (back in the day my university TAs would fail any lab report with inverse precision like that, but I'm no PhD in climate science), and with a time frame of hours. Estimated historic temperatures are presented with 2 or 3 digits of precision over a timeframe of centuries or kiloyears.

Saying current trends are unprecedented is motivational and technically correct, but not scientifically sound given the actual data. Well, science as in hard sciences like chemistry and physics in which we could run controlled experiments to generate confidence in our understanding; not soft sciences like economics or nutrition where controlled experiments would be unethical and results are only as good as the next product you're selling.

My point is that you can see the current short-term trends because we have precision and accuracy to be able to do that. We lack the precision and accuracy of historical data to be able to do that, which makes it an argumentum ad ignorantiam.
