Ultra-clear for small businesses, at times. I was once a partner in a shop, and there was that time that we had a account problem/billing error on the credit card, and all the advertising stopped for the better part of a month. Worst month ever.

The whole article reads like something the author wishes was true, but that's predicated on the notion that everyone buying advertising is just stupid.
I wish I had thought of sneaking in a scary banner in ~2013 when I still had to support IE6 for a web development job I had.

I, like a majority of web developers, was using Chrome to do all my development and testing, and would only occasionally VM Windows XP to test Internet Explorer, which usually had something broken, and would usually end up with me spending a majority of my time fixing, and when I would complain about it, management would point to the server logs and say "Look, N% of people are still using IE6, we have to support it!" If I had been smart enough to put a little deprecation warning on there, life might have been easier for me.

Isn't this what we aimed for with capitalism? Either way, the better product wins. Yes, potentially it's going to be Amazon. But the consumer will get to choose between Amazon and something else and pick the better and cheaper one. That's at least the goal. Then Amazon will revert some of the changes and someone will come back and do better what they do.
Great story! Thank you.

Personally, I live and grew up out there. The lightning here tends to be much closer than elsewhere. I’ve even had a few strike trees around my home. One woke me from a deep sleep-so deep I couldn’t move. On,y time that’s happened to me.
What an excellent article. He is 100% right. And the sad truth is that most documentation/tutorials/teachings does it wrong.
I would be surprised if that was the case. Picking on Bezos specifically does a better job at creating drama, than by pointing a finger at a giant faceless organization.
"White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. But that's probably because I've watched the Matrix Resurrections trailer about 40 times now.

Outside of that... I'll just say that I just redid the song selection I carry on my mp3 player for bike riding / running / lifting and switched up the selection a bit. There's now less brutal death metal and black metal, and more thrash metal, glam metal, and traditional heavy metal. In the process of doing that I picked up a few new albums by bands that I had not listened to extensively in the past, like Tygers of Pan Tang, and Blazon Stone. I highly recommend both bands to anybody who likes metal.
Yes, a lot of NFTs will represent some kind of visual media, and you want to know what that visual media is that they represent. But whether the link is a URL in the contract, a hash, or simply collective memory/agreement amongst collectors doesn't matter.

Note that the argument that NFTs are useless if you need to rely on social consensus to link token and asset is not valid - the use case is in having a common ledger to track ownership of the token.
I know next to nothing about submarines. I keep wondering, what's it like for a submarine that surfaces into the middle of a hurricane? Obviously it's going to get more "nautical" as the sub approaches the surface (and the waves)...but how much does a submarine care about severe weather, while it's on/near the surface? Or does it just "convert" into a boat that's currently floating?
Pat Metheny noted recently (0) that although he loves to use alternate tunings, he feels that it takes at least 10 years to really know your way around a given tuning, and thus changing them around impairs your ability to really get deep into your performance/compositional process.

Polkadot is Rust and WASM based.
When I was a grad student I once attended a lecture by Kip Thorne (before he won the Nobel prize but after Interstellar came out). He basically implied something that is vaguely heretical (and kinda tangential to the above): we should look for aliens inside black holes because thats where they prefer to be. For one, from their point of view (and this situation was sort of enacted in Interstellar) they can observe our epic timescales in “real time”. This puts the phrase “angels dancing on the head of a pin” in a new light, where pin could be loosely interpreted to mean “singularity”, I suppose.
I walked around my neighborhood today, there are several houses under construction. The framing and roofing crews are staffed entirely by hardy people of only one gender and with little ethnic diversity.

I sometimes watch professional sports, in particular basketball. There is very, very little diversity.

My son is in his first year of teaching elementary school. He tells me he is almost alone in the school, gender-wise.

I think this is a very complex topic, with lots of nuances.
If you look more specifically into what happened, you might have your answer.

"Unfortunately, there was no recourse for me- I ended up having to pay for the fraud with 1/4 of my paycheck for a little over a year."

Really? That seems insane. You didn't do anything wrong. I would think the creditors themselves are responsible since they didn't check who they were dealing with properly.
Yep agree. I actually understand Monads and have used them in Haskell but I still 100% agree with you. One of the problems is that understanding Monads is 100% needed in purely functional languages but not in non-pure functional languages. I have never used Monads outside of Haskell because it doesn’t make sense to use them in C++/Java/C#.
The problem with browsers is Apple. A decent iOS browser would handicap their App Store ecosystem. If the browser was as powerful as iOS, developers would build for iOS and Android using JS, and Apple wouldn't get to reject apps or earn their cut of all payments.

Because of Apple, there has to be a severe handicap somewhere, so that nobody can build real cross-platform apps in the browser. That's why iOS browsers can't use APNS/push notifications or reliable local storage, but iOS apps can. Yes, every other browser supports these things, even macOS web browsers. [1]

This seems more of a product to keep their investors happy than it does actually improving the crypto ecosystem. Feels like you lose the decentralization benefits of crypto when you are doing everything over a centralized service. I don't know how much Coinbase have abstracted things, but there's probably a fair amount of lock-in here too.
You missed the point entirely. It’s your money.
For all of it's faults Port Address Translation (NAT) sure has a way of making the address size more manageable.
You've just interpreted everything I said in the most absolutist and uncharitable way - then steamrolled over it with your own hyperbolic ideas.

The SnazzyLabs was interesting to me, particularly because of Quinn’s experience as a Tesla owner and the flack he got about excusing their build quality.

What do we really know about the effectiveness of digital advertising?

The effectiveness of online ads is easily measurable: Return on ad spend (ROAS) = (revenue from ad referrals) - (money spent on ads)
1/4 of your paycheck for a year was garnished (roughly 25% of your WHOLE salary for the year) and you were not able to resolve the issue, and lost all that money?

That is ridiculous. In the US, you'd almost certainly be able to file a lawsuit against the company who leaked the info (if you know... and it wasn't the gov't itself). And 1/4 of my salary would be well worth the legal fees.
As noted on the article - looking for recommendations of nice 60% keyboards in the $100'ish price point range as well.

Something a little more clicky than brown switches, but perhaps not as much as a Unicomp, and in the 60% form factor.
Ha, no I really do have one coming.
Entropy is a not instilled by a creator, but a natural consequence of math.

If the number of states labelled ordered is substantially smaller than the number of states labelled disordered and a system moves essentially randomly between states, it is far more likely that it will spend most of its time in a disordered state.

Entropy is just the universe settling into a state that cannot be meaningfully differentiated from most other states; there are far more of these than differentiable states, and so it's overwhelmingly likely that the universe ends up there.
I found a (Japanese-language) report about the clock mechanism, with some interesting photos. From context, I'm guessing this is a product of the 2004 reverse-engineering program described in OP. For example, page 4 has a photo of the (very weird) gear OP describes as "rhinoceros beetle" shaped, with the modern replicas next to it.

And exactly how do you get accurate figures for that?
Bezos = Amazon

Fiddlers don't always tune in fifths. There's a couple of tunes I play in DDAD, my favorite for its three octaves of awesome resonance. Classical violinists tend to sneer at such tunings, outside of rather esoteric baroque players, I believe. It's a shame, because different tunings can really change the tone of the instrument in interesting ways.

As the comments allude, fifths make it easy to play a large range of harmonious music. And, no doubt. A lot of fiddle tunes are written for cross-tuning, and they're tortuous to play at speed in GDAE.
I agree - you are right, we absolutely should. But if customers are using Coinbase, and people sue and get successfully judgments against Coinbase for using insecure authentication media, then maybe Coinbase can go ahead and initiate lawsuits against the telecoms if they are feeling the heat.

Consumer complaints against ISPs/telecoms have been notoriously slow, unresolved with no real improvements - even before the creature Ajit Pai crawled out from under his rock, shockingly enough.
Yes because inflation is being measured as realized inflation instead of unrealized inflation.

Imagine someone in a basement printed 50% of the money supply; that unrealized inflation has happened, although consumers haven't yet seen it realized in CPI. But once that person starts spending it, it reverbates throughout the economy and becomes realized. Like potential energy in physics.
I remember reading this article back in 2019 when it was originally written. Unclear why it is being dusted off now when it is still just as wrong as it was then.

Yes, it is probably hard for a large, well-known brand like eBay or Procter & Gamble or Coca-Cola to measure their return from online advertising. If Coca-Cola stopped all advertising for 1 week, would anything really change? Probably not. And it’s not as if anyone is clicking Google search ads for Coca-Cola and ordering a 6-pack right there. This is the same problem that these companies have with TV advertising.

But anyone who has ever run a small, consumer-focused startup with low brand recognition can very easily measure their return on ad spend, and will spend a lot of time doing this. You can easily tell which specific ad referred someone to your website, and how much money they spent once they got there.

If they’re not convinced by this data, at some point most startups will find the opportunity to simply turn off all advertising for a week for one reason or another. And can usually see the drop in revenue immediately.

I was involved in a consumer hardware startup where our COO shared granular ROAS numbers in our all-hands every week for Google, Facebook, TV advertising across multiple networks, etc. They regularly A/B tested different advertisements and messages across different media and directly optimized for revenue. It was clear beyond a doubt that this advertising worked. The company would not have been viable without it.

The fact that this proof is easily and readily available from small, lesser-known companies is part of why large companies continue to spend money on advertising despite the benefits being much harder to measure.
The hard to maintain issue seems to follow most dynamic languages around. What kind of those issues have you run in to in your time working with Clojure professionally?
" such as safety conditions and work assignments are also important"

These are very important, probably more than anything else, if you actually work in these jobs. They make your life miserable.
> On physically-constrained devices (e.g., phones < 6" diagonal), it's about the only reader format that works at all. For larger devices, I strongly prefer a fixed-layout format such as PDF or DJVU.

Interesting, I don't think I have a strong preference here. For textbooks I tend to prefer DJVU simply because of filesize, though DJVU readers aren't quite up to snuff in comparison to, say, evince (at least on nix, I'm not sure the state on non-nix).

> And I think ePub still doesn't support formulae properly.

Well, in theory, the latest versions of ePub have support for MathML. In practice... I don't know. I've tried to consume books with formulae on ePub and it's been a little nightmare.

> These are ultimately different domains with different needs and uses. There's some call for complex and mixed formats .... but far less han their promotors would like us to believe. Advertising must die or be killed.

There are promoters still? I would have been more sympathetic for mixed formats and flows when the web was younger, but these days, it feels obvious to me at least that the cases do have very different needs. Hell, every time I have to deal with a shadow DOM (which I don't have to do often, luckily) I regret the choices that ended up creating the concept of a shadow DOM in the first place.

Is your sub a place to discuss issues like this? I'd love to think/discuss these sorts of things in a thoughtful environment, and thanks for your exchange.
> I think the idea of a file being just a series of bytes and leaving the interpretation to the application is ingenious.

the file as an opaque box for applications to store a real data structure is poisonously anti-file. it's totally what files are, what we think of them, but imo, systems like 9p, or linux's procfs or sysfs are The True Way for files: small discrete pieces of data which are part of a system of directories tlthat express a larger compilated hierarchical system of data.

Files won, but only the stupidest wrongest version. Easy to copy and manage but utterly useless on their own, unscriptable, pointless eithout their complex applications there to use them.

I dont think db's/records are that interesting either. i think we just need to really try files. Fine grained files. As opposed to these big ole blobs the OS cant really interact with.
I sometimes get the same feeling. The sentiment in this video

Another great investigative piece from the NYT on one of their direct competitors for revenue. At this point it feels like FB's problem is they let the "rabble" in instead of charging $40/mo cover to affluent Westerners.

Cynical take yes, but the volume of NYT has me thinking of the boy who cried wolf.
Are you sure it was her?
My personal experience is the opposite. Expensive CFLs had bulky bases, needed time after power up for full brightness, and still had light with those CFL characteristic, oh, and lasted just short after expiry of warranty. (6 months here)

Never tried (normal) LEDs with the exception of flashlights and similar, there they are OK.

With the LED filaments I'm finally happy since a few years. I use them exclusively now. Their color temperature and representation is pleasing and comfortable for me. They don't flicker, and I'm sensitive to that. And none died or went darker, so far. Also they are using way less power for the same Lumens, a.k.a. brightness.

One reason I can imagine they flicker for you, is that your mains electricity is at 60Hz, and you screens refresh at that rate, too. That can lead to "Schwebung", "beat effect", "overlapping frequency fluctuation". Which of course would be unacceptable. But I don't have that.

Another reason could be the way the electronics switch from mains AC to DC. Which you seem to had bad luck with.
I'd like to see failure rate for their other solid state parts like motherboard or HBA for comparison.
I feel like these low spec ARM CPUs are basically the 6502 and z80 of the late 80s of our day. Still technically usable, but far outclassed by contemporary hardware, yet finding their way into the hands of hobbyists.
I would be more curious to hear what historians think of this. When nations get heavily divided into tribes do governments intentionally do irrational things to distract or unite people such as walking face first into major wars or other related societal changing events? Any historians here?
Quite a striking difference! The first page of "happy black woman" shows black women being happy, mostly alone but "happy white woman" shows white women with men at least half the time and about half of those are men of color!

I tried a few variations and can only conclude that Google has become a piece of shite as far as search is concerned. I hear it's still OK for translation but, if the current situation continues, they'll soon be mistranslating to some unknown purpose.
They tried to teach me various instruments when I was a boy. I didn't mind the playing, but Lord Almighty how I hated the notation stuff. It simply made no sense whatever, and was - as you describe it - clearly invented by morons. Only when I ventured into tech-land in my teenage years did any of it finally click: So that's what they mean by 'octave' - a doubling of frequency. Why couldn't they just have said so? Harmonies, chords, what have you - it was all just frequencies and sine waves. Didn't musicians know anything?

These many years later, I still don't quite get it, but do of course realise there must be some sort of point to it all. High level language? Yes, I get it. Bach wrote in Python, not C. Time to revisit.
It is staggering that he made the machine so efficient that it could run a full year on a couple of springs. They aren't even gigantic. And this is with hand built everything using 19th century metallurgy. Just phenomenal.
It really seems that if you aren't in the upper income brackets you are just one major health problem away from bankruptcy.
It’s simple. You use a URL with the campaign id, and store that when the customer clicks through, then when a sale is made you count that towards the campaign. In offline advertising people would achieve this using campaign-specific phone numbers or discount code given in the ad.

Online advertising math is not rocket science. If ROAS is positive you continue the campaign, if not you abandon it or try other methods.
> The drives are used 100% from the start

Looks horrible usage for SSD wear leveling and other functionality.
No Monads are not “just a very concise definition of a List”. I do agree that some developers love to obfuscate rather than clarify because it makes them seem smart. But not everybody. I agree with the article that you really have to try and implement your own Monads to understand them. Reading articles won’t help. However unless you are programming in a pure functional language you don’t need to learn/use Monads. So just ignore it if that’s the case.
"but... it's written in Free Pascal. That's not a technology I want to deal with..."

I don't get where this thinking is coming from either. People have to be careful about self-serving corporate propaganda that big companies spew out against other programming languages they don't own or control.

Object Pascal (also known to some as Delphi) is extremely viable technology with a diverse range of compilers/IDEs, applications, and including open-source or freeware offerings.

Also, I find it funny when people then choose or get caught up in "lesser", "more difficult", or "limited" technologies. People would be doing themselves a favor to study up on Object Pascal or at least look at Wikipedia to get a clue.
Ha! I forget if I already knew you in 02001, but if I did, you might have said the same thing to me about Perl then. The last time I wrote a Perl module was probably 02005.
Oh wow, this is an older article. Read it before, it was much discussed and here we are 2 years later.

Market effects from the pandemic have reinforced the reliance on online advertising (more hours spent online by individuals working remote, growth of streaming services).
They are naive, they really think advertising doesn’t work. It works it’s ass off. You can’t find one identity that isn’t influenced by it.

Real programmers use vim. I could sell that for ages. Don’t play games with advertising, you are just as much of a cuck as everyone else (rhetorically speaking, not you specifically).

Anyways, real programmers read HN. I could sell that forever. You think you’re smarter than all of this? Real programmers _______, and by god, you will fucking buy it. Here’s some Rust for you, you real programmer. I’ll inundate you, this stuff works.

And who gave management the numbers from the server logs? You guys should have fudged the numbers.
Mainly MarkMonitor. The main thing these services provide is high security around changes. They also offer a lot of things like brand protection related services.

Even bigger ones will sometimes run their own registry (like Google).
The Nokia N900 is simultaneously I really wish I had gotten my hands on when it was new and also a device I'm glad I ultimately didn't wast my money on. The landscape slider is still a form factor I miss though. Sure I've mostly adapted to onscreen keyboards, but I occasionally still yearn for something physical.
To be fair, IE6 share was falling quickly on it’s own, and its sharp one-week drop coincided with IE8 launch. IE7 also saw drop that week, even though it didn’t have the deprecation message. Google’s banner probably made IE6 die a few months sooner, but that’s it.
That would be basic supply and demand, but I think we are beyond that. Demand for the product (housing) has moved beyond basic consumers (people who want to live in them). Real estate is now a primary investment vehicle. So building more doesn't necessarily mean more houses for people to live in. Rather it will mean more investment opportunities for people seeking to move money into a "safe" asset. That is the cycle we need to break. Real estate needs to become a less stable investment vehicle. Then we can start lowering prices by building more houses.
Ah so how is this Coinbases fault I also dont understand? Seems like a carrier issue.
