I dislike advertising as much as the next person, but dismissing it as not working is attempting to handwave reality away.

I am saying this as I am currently going through a graduate marketing course. It is bananas.

If there is one you learn from marketing really fast is:

1. what is the reality?
2. how to manipulate it

To answer your surface question. You may be an outlier, but I can name purchases resulting from an ad. Impulsive purchases are a thing.
I would say that this does not work in third world countries and the author also mentions this subtly by saying.

>>If you're in Southeast Asia and in need a taxi service, you can ask someone to hail you a Grab. I've done this numerous times in Kuala Lumpur by kindly asking Coffee shop baristas. The feeling of moving around without your whereabouts being constantly beamed into a database can be quite liberating.

Imagine asking strangers to book you a cab in a country you cannot speak the language of.

While these countries and all first world countries have the ability to hail cabs for instance, asking strangers is basically not the way anyone goes because they don't have a sim card. For example, I do use a data-only SIM in a country I am visiting right now from Google Fi just to do basic things like ordering an Uber, checking bus timings etc.

However, I cannot without a local number
1. Order Food Online
2. Get Any services which require mobile number valid in the country for any services

I am used to doing all this because I have a phone number in my country, but can't do this in another country, because logistics involve delays and they have to be communicated and a local number is the best way to do it. Without wide-spread messaging only services which work out of the box for every app there is no way any establishment can contact you.

Everything is a step in the right direction, for example, people would call on WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger etc, but you don't expect micro-economy people in third world countries to have the skills to do that, they will want a phone number to do it.

How about "because you are curious"?

I was always tempted to do a reality TV show where you get outside and are famous for a few months then forgotten about, for the reason that you could hopefully experience what fame is like and hopefully be forgotten about if you didn't like it.
I provided a cryptographic proof that does not require blockchain.
I use what they call the "dynamic quadrupod" grip. I've tried the "correct" grip but I find that either the pen is at a lower angle or I have to turn my wrist more to get it at a higher angle. Maybe it is because I'm left handed but neither of those options work as well for me.

I try not to judge but when I see someone hold a pen between their index and middle finger I find it hard not to. A few years ago Taylor Swift was in a Coke commercial where she was writing lyrics. The first thing I noticed was how she holds her pen and it drove me crazy. https://imgur.com/QyTQpre
They probably couldn’t slow down at that altitude without stalling. The window of possible air speeds at that altitude is rather small. Further, fuel efficiency would drop off dramatically too, but I feel the major contributing part is likely the stall speed.
If it's a link (button) and you press it, AntennaPod will open it in it's UI and let you subscribe if you want to.
Never saw these adds, as I disabled it all. But that's ridiculous.

I'm sure he could.

But he hasn't.
Those idiots at Mozilla have driven away there power users and third party developers.. with all there hair brained choices over the years... Fuck Em

> No one likes a price increase, but 30% increase to ~$10/year over four years is not making my blood boil.

We're talking about something which has become a central piece of the modern internet largely by being perceived as a well governed non-profit organization.

Unreasonable price-hikes undermines that position and seems like a clear violation of the natural monopoly they have obtained through good will so far.

Maybe the internet just needs to learn a lesson or two, once again, about the problems with centralization.
Building adds into the start menu search is ridiculous.
Yes and you're right, it took the Android team years to catch up, but they started a massive course correction effort basically the day the iPhone was announced. Google realised how much of a threat the iPhone was and threw everything they had at getting Android up to speed. My point is the incumbent phone handset companies didn't have those sorts of resources in skilled development teams with system level experience and support services available to throw at anything.

Microsoft left it for years, believing they could still compete using their single tasking Windows CE kernel based platform. That's why Windows 8 with a true pre-emptive multitasking NT based kernel, able to run background services and run on multiple cores wasn't ready until 2012. By then Android had already had it's act together for a few years and it was too late for MS.
Systemd can be configured to kill all processes belonging to a user when he or she closes the last login shell. Some people had this enabled on their servers and were surprised that their tmux/screen sessions kept disappearing.

I don't suppose it really matters, considering how the graph for the past 20 years looks ;)
Microsoft doing shady stuff again.

It's really a shame. The engineering that the teams at Microsoft put to the kernel and the actual operating system at large is amazing.

But then some Product Management division decides to shove this shit down people's throat and, for me at least, ruins all the fun of what would is otherwise an amazing piece of an operating system.

I paid for an operating system, just let me use the damn thing in peace will you ...
Sure it does, while not unambiguous both of these for example are valid.

Will Will Smith smith? Yes, Will Smith, will smith.

Does anyone know enough to comment on how this jives with the settlement that Microsoft reached with the EU around 2010 over accusations of leveraging their monopoly in operating systems to drive user choice in browsers?
While true in general, we already have Falcon Heavy, SpaceX Dragon and if it is just 'make the simplest possible moon mission' and you had the budget, you could make it happen.

However that is not how Congress would do it anyway (NASA can not choice).
And in those cases you'd certainly be more concerned about getting top talent and passion out of workers anyway.
484 wasn't returned by the code susam originally posted.

Not as bad as the one they put over the top of a pinned chrome icon on the start menu a few times.
It's a buffet that's just barely good enough for customers that it feels like it can replace a record collection with The Cloud, and all for a low low price!

As one might imagine, though, that low low price means something is getting squeezed. Some of the answer vs past models is in exchanging fixed acquisition and distribution costs for fractional marginal costs. But some of the answer is also in squeezing artists (and/or less powerful owners), both in the appalling fractional revenue compared to other models and in how it's distributed. The result shows up in either stuff getting pulled from the catalog, or never added, or.... never made because the artist that would have made it is doing something else in order to make up for the revenue that might have come from a system that actually assigns value to recordings.

But don't forget -- they'll also squeeze you too! Oh, sure, they know that price increases are a risk, but what risk is in there collecting as much of that sweet sweet data trail and harnessing it to sell you to others?
Does SSM generate unique users for each login or does it use a generic user? The later would make any logging outside of SSM difficult since there's no way to tie it to a specific IAM user except time windows.

Mid Level PHP Developer | Car & Classic | Remote | https://www.carandclassic.co.uk | Full Time

Hey :wave:!

Car & Classic is looking for a PHP developer to join our team and help build the world's best classic car website.

You'll be working within a small engineering team who are always looking to improve. You'll get to work on important features and given autonomy - and with a small team your impact is integral to our continued success

Apple here: https://cazana.recruitee.com/o/car-classic-php-developer-mid...
> stylus-free interaction due to use of capacitative screen

> multitouch

IMHO these two were the key standout killer features that made the iPhone a qualitatively different and better experience than every handset that had come before.
Instead of being pedantic about it lets give it another name then. Whatever we call this new category of email that does not include password resets and does include friend requests and abandonment emails - don't send them 4x per day.

Come on, sometimes it's better to be understood than to be right. Fuck the definition.
Israeli privacy laws are from 1981. They don't really cover PII by itself, only in certain cases, and they consequences are insufficient.

Israel could probably do with something like the GDPR or CCPA.
Same -- that and it pushes new releases by the same artists -- which for someone reasonably engaged is kind of redundant.

OTOH when I used google play for a few months, they managed to recommend a new to me band that was based in roughly the same area and playing the type of music I listened to.

So at least for that type of music, they were a lot better than anything I've ever got in multiple years of using spotify
This might be a noob question, but what is the right way to listen to podcasts on Spotify? They recently bought the company that produces half of the podcasts I listen to, Gimlet, so I wanted to see if it was a better experience using them. I devoted 5 minutes to it, but so far I wasn't able to figure out the basics, like subscribing to podcasts and seeing what's in the queue to listen to.
Context switching preserves fpu modes. You set these inside inner loops where you aren’t calling out to third party dependencies. Good libraries make this easy to work with.

This is exactly how IEEE 754 was designed to work, and is what all the major numerical libraries do.
"The horse raced past the barn fell" is embedded just one level deep. Besides it becoming completely unintelligible, there's nothing to say that you can't nest arbitrarily:

The dog the cat the mouse liked hated barked.

Of course, language isn't prescriptive, so it's arguable if this is allowed. It's grammatical, in a technical sense, but not acceptable to, I'd imagine, most English speakers.
How do normal people (who use Windows) think that this is ok? In what universe is that possibly ok - to put ads in a paid-for OS? No matter the context, no matter the version of an os, no matter the reason, no matter what the ads are for, no matter that they could through some questionable hacking or editing be removed - ads in a paid-for OS. Has the whole world gone crazy? What is going on here?
It seems pretty clear that in almost all cases, what was most sorely missing was someone with both the power and the taste to make an overall assessment of UX and say "no, this is shit, come back with something acceptable"; maybe to even make a few hirings or acquisitions if necessary to get someone competent on the problem.

By all accounts I've read, that someone was Steve Jobs. After Rubin saw what iPhone was, he apparently completely pivoted Android to go the same way. Before aiming for the full-handset touchscreen paradigm, Android was supposed to be able to handle all types of handsets, including foldables, keyboard slideouts, Blackberry paradigms, etc, all depending on what manufacturers wanted to make. Seeing the iPhone changed the game, so much that Steve Jobs had his "going thermonuclear" rant about Android stealing his stuff. Ironic for a guy who once claimed that Apple was shameless about stealing other people's stuff because great artists steal.
Really? How does that work with RSS feeds?
So this will be disabled by default? It will not become a default and as such nothing will start to depend on it as a default?

Also remarks and doubts on the use of json for this purpose is completely irrational?
> but what are some of the real-world use cases for a shared trust model?

Document management. Once recorded in the blockchain, documents cannot be altered, removed nor replaced without leaving a trace. This is valuable in any database that deals with historic data that needs to be provably untampered: financial records, contracts, permits & licenses, etc.
I feel largely the same... they build some really cool things, and developer division, the azure guys and .net core guys I've talked to are all great... why are they so heavy handed on the windows side of things, I don't get.

Just auto-update edge and put it in a pinned taskbar position with a new icon and a notification bubble... no need to disparage anything, it'd be more assertive and less annoying at the same time.
Concerns about the F-35’s agile software development process
I only checked one of the listed urls (the tables are images???) but found 15 hits in my pi-hole. I’m using the “safe” (as in marked likely to not break things) set of lists from wally3k’s github. So the standard set of lists won’t catch many things, but it is prudent to add more. There are currently nearly a million domains being filtered in my pi-hole and 13.0% of http/https requests are filtered out.
But the answer to that shouldn't be "here's an example of a large one" but "why do you care so much for growth, it's fine to be small".

Setting the Record Straight on OSS vs. Perens: Implications on Stewards of GPL
Sure, but people expect that of Intel because they own their fabs and have to build a new fab if they want more capacity. AMD's only buying a slice of TSMC output, but that doesn't mean they're able to suddenly buy a much larger share of that output.
Yeah, i seems like half their interface guys went to apple or google respectively and what was left of webos got morphed into a smart tv ui, that frankly isn't bad, although all the apps suck, so I don't use it.
But what if somebody already has data on some other volume-managing filesystem (like, say, ZFS) ?
Novelty factor. That's why they call it the novel coronavirus.
The fact that it's half of Spotify's revenue isn't a justification, it's essentially an admission that the whole model was never a particularly viable one for recording artists.
Purely from the meme perspective, I think the "Still using X ? Y is here" phrase has some value. Sort of like those jokes about how if IE can ask you to be the default browser, you can do X.
That's good to know.

Pattaya
Maybe you will get lost in this paradise on Earth, but don’t worry, people in this country are always kind. They adore foreign people, they will be always kind with you, with a smile on their faces. This is the reason why everyone once in his lifetime must visit this place, and look for escort girls in Escort Service Pattaya, because they bring you to different world, in the world that you’ve never imagined you can enter. Nowadays, when everyone is full of stress, a little relaxation is a must, so booking an escort or a girl you like through an escort agency is a wise decision.

Israeli private sector tech: genius

Israeli public sector tech: crook

Outside the IDF, which is merely incompetent and overstaffed, this is mostly on purpose. The reigning Israeli government for the past ~10 years have been corrupt neoliberals of the most stereotypical kind.

Would it be an undue burden to require people like you to put up a page saying, "This is my personal domain which I use primarily for email."?

Can we just agree that nobody is posting the full proposed set of rules on HN, and nobody is trying to take away your domain?

Every time this solution to domain squatting is proposed, someone counters with your objection as if it's a huge problem with the idea, but it just isn't. Surely you can imagine a set of rules that shuts down a large number of domain squatters but allows your use case.
Even at the state level I should have to give my consent before they release my data to any third party. At a minimum I would expect all of those third parties to be audited regularly.

It is an arms race. It started like it normally does. Pihole guys were dismissed as not a threat since setup required user setup and maintenance. Clearly, there was a miscalculation of sentiment since adtech seems to be actively working on subverting it.

I hope pihole can keep up. I am at a point, where I would pay for it ( donation may no longer be viable ).

How North Korea Revolutionized the Internet as a Tool for Rogue Regimes
Will spotify provide this value by standardizing on some extension of RSS that will make add personalization better, and provide optional usage reporting?

OR, will spotify provide this value by throwing out the open standard of RSS and providing a closed system they fully control?

A benevolent player could take the first route, working with RSS to do better adds in podcasting without destroying the eco-system. They'd leave some money on the table for themselves, because they'd actively choose not to get a monopoly. But it would undoubtedly be better for everyone else.
If you are used to ads everywhere now, why would you be surprised to see them in Windows? I mean for a "normal" person the argument against would probably make sense, but it probably won't jump in front of their eyes as a jarring thing
Agreed, those parts of the post seemed highly filled with contempt and even though I can empathize with that, it's not a good look. The description of the author's responses in the company chatroom remind me of highly toxic irc chatrooms where people sitting idle in them forever verbally abuse newcomers or people asking questions from some self righteous angle of superiority instead of engaging in simple discussion.

It's very very off putting and detracts from an otherwise good post. Makes the author sound like someone who simply has nothing but ire for their fellow employees.

TBH, I am thinking of doing a poor man's version of this with a RPi Zero, a fish-eye lens, and a small display (times two, one for both sides). Not sure how well it would mesh with the airbags, crumple zones et al, though; camera-to-display latency might be an issue, too.
Show HN: A Pfrpg Web Character Sheet
I don't buy the focus argument. It looks to me as an argument against free market, towards some kind of central planning. Focus can be surprisingly inefficient.

Isn't the whole point of free market that the money end up distributed to citizens (consumers), who then choose what to do with it, and what problems to tackle?

I also think we have Bill Gates (very focusedly) fighting malaria on one side, and Koch brothers (also focusedly) fighting for coal on the other. I am not convinced that in the sum, the side of Bill Gates has won.

If we perhaps diffuse the money, maybe we will actually find enough people to fight malaria, but there will be less people willing to spread lies about climate change. Because there are actually more ordinary people having trouble with malaria than ordinary people having trouble what to do with a coal mine once coal mining gets out of fashion.

> Many of those who commented in the linked reddit thread actually praise Microsoft Edge, explaining that they already installing the new browser and it’s just as good as Chrome or Firefox. And of course, many remind that it’s possible to disable suggestions in the Start menu to block such “ads” from showing up again.

Gotta wonder if that’s astroturfing.
Hey folks! I've been working on a character sheet application for a tabletop RPG game I'm playing. I can't name the 3.5e variant since I'm using content licensed by the OGL, but you should be able to deduce it by googling PFRPG. I made it because I was frustrated with how much existing solutions cost (herolab) or how user hostile they were (PCgen).

At some point I decided to expose it as a product offering, though it's still free for now while I develop another core feature or two. I'd love if you could give it a whirl and let me know if you have feedback on anything - from the landing page to "you don't support my specific flavor of bard".

Let me know if you have any questions!

GDPR would have required the app provider to encrypt our personal data and in addition it would have required the government (or who ever is working with them) to make sure either through audit or legal agreement that this is happening. At a minimum it would guarantee legal consequences for those companies that are not protecting PII
