Serious question: how much would you pay each year for that?

I believe that if FB asked users to pay even a dollar a year more than half of the users would disappear.

I believe this was a response to people interacting less with the feed and posting less about their own life.. its almost morphed into a reddit cross social feed now. And they're only expanding the bounds more and more, Facebook news if it takes off will also change this significantly once people start sharing more of that content.
In particular, Tesla power walls have > 90% round trip efficiency (from AC to battery storage, and back to AC), which is nuts!
This is an interesting article but I feel like there’s a big disconnect between the description of Axial’s focus and the companies used as case studies. They all seem to rely on advantages companies developed well after being “early stage” startups, and it’s not clear how you could ascertain those advantages before the companies managed to pull off their various bets. I would imagine most people would agree Merk & Regeneron are well beyond the point where the idea of value investing is tough to do. Perhaps I just am working with a different definition of early stage.
What if they issue retroactive speeding tickets all at once for the last 10 years?
a distributed way to map and collect the data structure on the web crowdsourced from a community of people not only passionate about mapping out the structure of app HTML and how it corresponds to data types, but also people who want to collect and use that data.

the data can be used for anything from competition and pricing analysis, to dashboards, to creating automatic RSS feeds of anything.

it just seems that being able to unlock the late and value of all of the information the structured information on the web which is presented only in a semi-structured form but with the addition of human labor could be so it's machine usable could unlock so much value.

but I've been pitching VCS and y combinator on this idea for the last six or seven years and not so much as a peep of interest so it seems that this idea doesn't possess a way to create a lot of money but I do believe it's very valuable.
Not sure about dark patterns, but you're talking about magnitudes of tens if not hundreds of thousands of visitors here.

Increasing conversion rate by even a few percentage points has huge revenue implications.

That site is fantastic. Second ad on the list: “... please check with your wife first last guy didn’t $2700”
> is what google and everyone else says.

Do Chrome, Firefox, or Safari do this? I would assume they do it on-device.
> You really can't use "we promise we won't misuse the information" as an argument

Sure they can. Doesn’t mean you have to believe them.
Include the statistical average tax in the price, and then up it or down it slightly at check out like a tax return. The user will be happy that the advertised price is a good estimate of the final price. Same for shipping.
Yeah but I have to do it per user. I want to generate a feed from users I 'follow'.

I don't think HN provides RSS feeds for /comments /posts of user, can't find it at least. So the only option is to scrape the pages yourself for a given set of users. But that's annoying.

I wonder why HN just doesn't allow to follow users and have a new tab added to top bar with /follows. I can't be alone in wanting this. And it doesn't devalue the simplicity of HN in any way nor hinder the experience imo.
The logic used here is argument by analogy. Talking about the constitution would be a different argument.
I have nothing to do with login.gov but as a federal manager who hires, there is definitely a difference between USAJobs and sending an email. Ultimately, all applications have to go through usajobs, but I can work with my hiring manager and a candidate to push-pull them through the system. I still have to compete the solicitation and interview qualified candidates, so if there is another more qualified candidate, the applicant may still leave the process without a job.

That said, having been through various versions of this process since 2004, it is extremely valuable to get visibility on candidates who may feel "stuck outside the system". Not only is it increasingly the case that the best candidates are precisely the ones who feel stuck outside, I can't advocate to fix the system without putting those cases in front of the HR people who are responsible for the system.

If a federal manager is giving you an email inbox for their applications, they are begging for your help. If you want a job, sending email to that inbox is helping them, and they will appreciate it.
Hmm, the marketing for glacier says "starting at $1 per terabyte per month" (at the top of https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/) but the pricing page seems to quote $.004/GB = $4/TB as the cheapest storage in the US and the random selection of other regions I clicked on.

At $4/TB why would I pick this over blackblaze B2 which is $5/TB (pretty basically the same) but works like live normal block storage instead of taking hours to retrieve (or minutes if you pay extra)?

Moreover the download cost from glacier to AWS is $0.02/GB plus at least $0.003/GB in retrieval costs (or $0.09/GB to $0.05/GB to the internet), while the download cost from blackblaze to the internet is only $0.01/GB and is free if it's to many of the members of the bandwidth alliance (notably including cloudflare).

I'd have to be looking at many petabytes of data before the miniscule cost savings of glacier data that I actually don't touch is worth it. Or I guess if the data was already in AWS and the egress to blackblaze was going to be too expensive to be worth it.
That's why bots now mimic users beyond user agents, even going so far as loading page assets and javascript. Unless you're using something like recaptcha V3, it's going to be difficult to detect them, and even that requires some interactions first.

>It's a shift that may be impossible to arrest if or when it really gets going.

>Then we'll see thousands of articles about how SF, Boston, and so forth can't pay for the public services the cities want to pay for, and how terrible it is that companies are leaving.

Good. Stupid should hurt. These cities had 20yr and nearly unbounded money they could have used to become somewhat sustainable. That they didn't is only their fault. And I say that as someone who lives in one of those cities.
This is phenomenally interesting to me because that very question led me to understand a lot more about the nature of units themselves. In particular, EM practitioners often use "Gaussian units" that name the math much cleaner (factors of 4pi appear and then disappear, instead of carrying around ε0 everywhere), but they have the weird side effect of perverting SI units. For example, in Gaussian units the standard unit of charge, the statcoulomb, has dimensions involving length to the 1/2 power. I think that has rather interesting implications on the nature of length; it seemd to me that the dimensions we take for granted might not be as fundamental as we think.

To expand on rayiner's comment a bit: Sibley sounds pretty much identical to all but the absolute smallest cities/towns I've visited or lived in. Just because they're small doesn't mean they don't have apartments (or trailer parks), nor does it mean they lack grocers or restaurants or auto shops or gas stations or offices.

If anything, the average commute is shorter (at least distance-wise) in a rural town/city than a large city, since there's less distance to cover to get from one end of town to the other. Cities tend to grow outward faster than they grow upward, so from a square-cube-law point of view, the bigger the city, the longer the commute (without having to pay through the nose for rent).

Yeh 100%. The entire premise is that the social offering of FB is free (for the most part, of course users pay in data). I read an interesting article yday on why the 'free' offering of tech companies like FB allows them to thrive versus say an Uber-like tech company that has an explicit cost associated to it even though that is the delivery of a more tangible product i.e. getting from point a to b.
Yes they can, they just can't use your age or other protected characteristics in the calculation of those odds. The ECOA doesn't say anything about health.
> multitude of power sourcing options (including just parked in sun, if the solar cover becomes a thing).

Under good conditions and direct sunlight, the total power that reaches the earth's surface is about 1000 watts per square meter. The best (commercialized) solar panels right now top out right around 20% efficiency. Ignoring losses due to conversion, you're looking at about 200 watts tops.

Over an entire day of ideal summer conditions you'll maybe get enough power out of it to make a quick pot of coffee.
I absolutely would pay for it as Messenger and Events are both great products, but like you I know most people wouldn't and that they succeed because everyone uses them.

But I don't actually have a problem with the ads. Ads targeted at me on Facebook are pretty good - they're often things I actually want to know about (like upcoming gigs in my area). I don't mind them and don't have a problem with their inclusion in my feed - it's the algorithmic content tangentially related to my friends which I detest.

I don't really think is an ad hominem fallacy. An ad homihem fallacy is when you attack the person making an argument rather than the argument. But no one here is attacking the people making the argument.

The argument is "Trust DDG". That argument is being attacked as "DDG's founder has done bad stuff in the past, it's likely DDG will do bad stuff, so I won't trust it". That seems to be attacking the argument to me, thus not an ad hominem.

It’s been discussed on HN multiple other times too in addition to the ones mentioned here.

For example, here is a discussion about it on HN from 2010: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2050807

I remember because it was around that time I first started browsing HN.

I think you’re misreading it. It’s sorted by Trump affinity, and there is only one Democrat higher than her (she used to be at the top, but has been dethroned by a large margin by one Democrat).
You must live on a high floor. The homeless outside my window are annoyingly noisy. Too often they wake me up at night or scare my dog when I'm out walking. I'm tired of spotting needles in the bushes and I'm worried someday I or my dog will step on one without a cap. The other day, I watched one guy threaten another with a knife.

Call me callous, but I'd like to build drugs-allowed shelters so that they leave the streets.
>I don't really understand what it means to not use race as a criteria

You find criteria that are not inherent to race.

Reluctantly using your twisted example, imagine the left handed are more likely to default on loans because the checks they send are illegible.

Then you could use the acceptance rate of written checks as your criteria instead of handedness.
This is classic HN. MARKETING BAD! ENGINEER GOOD!

True, but the flash game era peaked ~15 years after the internet on desktops became normalized.

IIRC it wasn't until about 2010 that app stores started, and now ten years later we're just starting to get standard languages/rameworks running natively across iOS and Android.

Facebook's advertiser base is mostly direct response and fairly diversified internationally.

CNN gives a general idea of the advertiser pulse https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/01/tech/facebook-top-advertisers...

> Even if all 100 of Facebook's biggest advertisers joined in, they would account for just 6% of the company's annual ad revenue.

School bus driver inspired by students gets college degree during pandemic

Needs moar stars!

It’s such a nostalgic feeling of the earlier web back when just interest groups, universities, fan pages, web-rings ruled the web. Back before it became commercialized by greedy folks that threw ads all over the place, tracked everything you do and spammed the hell out of your inbox.

I miss the good ‘ol days for what the web was intended for.

One of my first projects was maintaining the site for: Looney Tunes Teaches the Internet.

If you look hard enough it’s still out there.
How much do you think would it cost? Much less than you could get out of simple banner ads, actually.
I wonder how it will compare to:

Stock prices do not reflect future earnings or company fundamentals, despite popular belief. The price of tradable assets with zero possible earnings demonstrate this.

Stock price is purely a function of supply and demand, and the demand does not have to be based on any sort of rational expectation of earnings. Price psychology is the biggest factor in my experience. People often buy for no reason other than the price moving up, which creates a cycle of upward price pressure which continues until enough decide to sell to take a profit, or there are no more buyers. This usually has little to do with company fundamentals like earnings. Day trading is pretty much based entirely on this logic, looking only at price and volume.

The lack of past profit actually fuels a higher price for Tesla, because it allows for imagining bigger profits in the future. A company that has a history of profits leaves little to the imagination. The story matters more than reality.

At the macro level, yield had dried up everywhere but stocks, combined with the Fed giving money to prop traders and signaling that they will buy junk assets and attempt to stop the market from crashing through any means possible. The market has become saturated with day traders and swing traders (retail and institutional) looking for volatility and price movement more than earnings or fundamentals, and newer stocks like Tesla attract them over established stocks like Toyota.

> It'd be great if Facebook could just go back to showing me posts by my friends.

I was able to do this by aggressively curating my feed. It worked, but it was already too late. ~50% of my friends had already ditched Facebook, and the rest rarely posted.

The news articles really killed the social aspect of Facebook, and the social parts that were left are just infuriating and upsetting. You end up "socializing" more with strangers who hate you than with your friends.

Facebook could've been a fantastic business (though still a cancer on privacy) by being the "identity layer" of the web. Instead it decided to become the worst news aggregator combined with the comments sections of old YouTube videos. Truly some of the worst product decisions ever made.
Thanks. I fixed it. Lol at me getting downvoted for pointing out the obvious "black person walking in the neighborhood" racism that's rampant on nextdoor though.

It has been interesting to follow the prescriptions of this demo in the past few weeks. In May, the system was prescribing less stringent NPIs that it nevertheless predicted to contain the pandemic. Now its recommendations are much more stringent---apparently it has learned that people no longer adher to the NPIs the way they used to! This indeed seems to be the case, anecdotally and based on news media, but it is interesting that the AI learned it on its on from the data.
I kick myself sometimes for not being around when they cut down on chat rooms and I never got reconnect with anyone in Ninja chat.

Jeez I was so young, I’d just log in to kongregate, type “i liek ninjas” because that was how people knew I was at my keyboard, and then spend the whole day playing flash games.

I did this hundreds of times over many years, took a break during college, and when I came back they’d culled down the number of chat rooms.

Guess I’m just replying to vent, and to also say thanks for all the good times, Kongregate.
It is hardly surprising that they'd reactivate it. A new Space Jam movie[1] is coming out next year. I know this somehow and am not proud of it.

Most sites don't subtract it from inventory until it's on a completed order.

The main exceptions I can think of are venue and plane tickets, and hotel rooms. These might put a hold on a specific piece of inventory for a short time. They usually tell you when they do.
