> Android prompts once for permissions, per app, and that's it.

That's the problem I have with it, I should have been clearer. If I have an app that I install, and on launch prompts me to give it access to 4 different things, the only thing I can do is close the app. I can't selectively enable it.

What could be interesting is Google/Apple being brokers of ads from different networks. (Not in their best intrest to do that, so it won't happen). Perhaps a verification system to verify the code as a certified ad framework that doesn't track you.
Thanks for the link. The timeline as described in this post seems to explain, in my opinion, the somewhat odd name that "Codecademy" is. Since the start I've found it hard to pronounce and easy to misspell. It's not a big stretch to think they had "Code Academy" in mind and adapted it towards the end… Maybe not, but I know I would never go for "Codecademy" if I could go for "Code Academy".
This was a weekend project for me, done in about 3 hours, and I'm still fixing a few bugs, but, here it is.

Basically, I really love Hacker News, but, because there is a login and other such restrictions, a lot of content gets filtered and downvoted so I never see it, and I wanted something that would be almost too free to be useful, but, I did it anyway.

Excellent contribution... Ugh, this is why I don't mind if HN is listed on Google or not.

So which part is laughable? The part where they're able to crawl the vast expanses of the web and return relevant results for the majority of their users? Or is it the part where they came out of nowhere to dominate search because they did it better than the rest?

Come on now, you can't be all things to all people. Google is far from perfect but for a lot of us it's much closer to perfect than the competition and they're constantly trying to improve it. Why don't you go ask Matt Cutts to fix whichever parts of it you think are laughable to your liking? He's been hanging around here and he doesn't seem shy about answering people's questions and concerns. I do doubt he'd give the time of day to a one sentence remark that adds nothing of value whatsoever to the larger discussion or any of it's offshoots.

As someone who knows more than 'a bit', I can tell you, it smells like snake oil from miles away. All the obvious signs are there: needlessly bashing existing tech, handwaving around very hard problems and demo videos that are staged to hide the obvious flaws from the untrained eye.

Plus, they've been hyping up the same tech for years now, with very little progress. People keep throwing the same criticisms at them, and they keep delivering very unimpressive responses.

If they've indeed scored $2 million of government grants already with this demo, as others allege, then it couldn't be more obvious: it's a zombie company designed to look impressive and leech off investor money, nothing more. It's centered around tech that has already been explored thoroughly by academia and industry, and we know where the practical problems lie in turning it into a viable game tech.

Many Minecraft license holders started out as Minecraft pirates. It's somewhat common to "try before buy" via piracy and I don't know if I am really opposed to it -- yes, it opens the door to freeloaders, but even in the case of freeloaders you generally get at least free word-of-mouth publicity out of it. Digital piracy comes at no real cost to anyone; you're not taking stock out of the hands of one who bought it wholesale, you're not removing the copy of one who purchased retail, you're not even using the developer's bandwidth. The only adverse effect comes on the pysches of the money-minded MBAs that falsely correlate each download with a lost sale when in fact many are convenience downloads from persons already entitled to a copy of the software or pre-purchase "trials". This is not true in every case, of course, but it is true in many cases.
Yeah. Never seen or heard "cademy" as shorthand for "academy"
Lack of due process is the new bully government.

Warrantless everything, seizures without oversight, treat everyone like a criminal when they travel, simply live or go near the border and lose many constitutional rights, heavily arm law enforcement under the guise of "anti-terrorism" but instead use those weapons against peaceful protesters etc. etc.

What's strange and counterintuitive is that under democrat leadership it gets worse than republican because they are always afraid of being perceived as being "weak" so they overcompensate and are even more aggressive.

What's more ironic is we are critical of other governments who do these things.

Although treasonous to say, I don't think a sexp-based language is appropriate for a wide community of programmers. (I'm currently enjoying coming back to PLT Racket from Clojure, so please don't write me off as someone who can't get over the initial shock.)

Macros make it too easy to define new syntax, to the point where things that should be core language features are neglected, only to be continually re-half-implemented, etc. Take a look at what passes for 'good enough' for destructuring in Clojure, both the older let-based and the newer core.match (which still lacks the extensibility of Racket's match). The deficiencies can always be fixed 'later', right?

No syntactic difference between function application and special forms means that one requires an editor that can somehow differentiate (slime/drracket approaches) to even have a shot at quickly scanning unfamiliar code (say, quickly looking at what an implementation actually does). It's pointed out that Guile will handle other languages (imho this is tacitly admitting uncertainty about Scheme). But multiple languages only stand to make the code-reading problem even worse! Never mind that Scheme will be the only first-class language (other languages can't consume macros) so alternatives are at best advertisements to get people hooked and having to learn the 'real language'.

The little bit of Ruby I've written opened my eyes to how much you can do with just first-class code blocks, and made me understand why something like SLIB would opt for explicit lambdas everywhere instead of macros. Macros are so enticing to cut down on boilerplate, but they're visually indistinguishable, and without plenty of forethought they're not composable.

Clearly many skin syntaxes for Lisps have been attempted and never caught on. I don't currently have much to add on that front besides a suggestion of not being afraid of well thought out concrete syntax (how many base special forms are there, really?). But really, I think my whole post shows the main problem with Lisp, at least for me. It's so easy to do things and it's such a blank slate that no matter what I sit down to do, I always end up trying to create a new language.
I think the learning curve for emacs is a little bit to do with its unusualness, but mostly to do with figuring out how you and it work together. This latter is a long process of discovery.

PyPy is an alternate implementation and not a replacement for Python 3.

PyPy does not have Py3 (yet) because they are trying to improve the Py2 branch to the fullest first with the available funding.

PyPy project are taking donations to the Py3K effort here: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html
How does this link demonstrate that fact?
Even if you've "stopped caring about Python 3" and favor PyPy, the PyPy developers themselves care about Python 3 support and are working to get there. Language != implementation. Everyone, including the PyPy developers, view Python 3 (the language, if not CPython the implementation) as the future of Python.

Also, I'm not sure why Java is related, but what's your point?
I think if you are asking yourself that question then you are not truly burnt out. Anyone who's had a serious burnout knows that there is no confusing the two.
He tells you to buy 1 iPod and sell it. When you sell it buy another and repeat the process until you feel like you improved your messaging, sales pitch, pictures, etc. Worst case scenario you get stuck with 1 iPod. How is that risky?

Why do I have to keep repeating myself? No one gave an example of how you can feasibly mark up a commodity like an iPod to get anywhere above the 10% Paypal and Ebay fee except when you buy in bulk. And when you buy in bulk you risk a lot more than 1 iPod.

I think we need a new Internet that the government doesn't know about. They move slowly and we can get another ten years of freedom if we plan this right.

(Many other posts recommend overthrowing the government. I don't think this will work because it doesn't guarantee that the new government won't be corrupt; the kinds of people that want to be politicians will always exist and will always act in the same interests.)
File extensions and timestamps? Not sure about 'original' though.
yep, i was just pointing out that the ads being less useful than the organic result was pretty much by definition.
I was going to mention minecraft here, as it's using a voxel system where by the local volume is divided into "chunks" that are generated based on an algorithm or saved data. This has simulation advantages over similar software which uses a polygon mesh(e.g. 'From Dust'). Editing in polygons are merely computational changes to the surface, rather than removing voxel by voxel.) Editing the world in 'From Dust' is thus not too dissimilar to polygon geometry modelling in 3d software.

A simple example of the difference this affords is that large dynamic changes(e.g. a tornado 'mod') are the result of simply moving voxels around and letting the world renderer do it's thing. Where a polygon based system has to computationally alter the various surfaces to represent the changes made, which can be quite a bit more 'work' for programming the various scenarios.

While there was a de-emphasis on valuation, there are many instances where a subsequent inside round is not a good thing. If the follow-on round is at the same terms as the prior, the dilution for employees and existing stake holders will take a bigger hit.

In the article, Rich mentions, they are getting the money at a 7x increase over the prior round. Great for them. It is not always the case.

Minecraft demonstrates that (despite its possibly-inefficient coding) unique voxel based geometry is cpu heavy, and to pretend otherwise is fraud. From the outset it's obvious that recursion is affording the 'infinite' tag for this technology.

Interestingly this technology or even this idea isn't anything new. A nice way of summarising it is 3d fractals, sure it's infinite and richly detailed. But it's the same thing over and over again.

Although treasonous to say, I don't think a sexp-based language will
ever be adopted by a wide community of programmers.

The problem with this argument is that a sexp-based configuration
language is already adopted by a community of programmers: Emacs Lisp.
Emacs itself ships with over a million lines of Lisp code, and there
are thousands of extensions available from around the Internet.

The problems you worry about with respect to macros have simply not
happened; most people name macros the same way (starting with def or
define-), and most macros are written "cleanly" in such a way as to
not surprise the programmer. (I'll be honest: I can't think of one
time I've ever hit a but in a Lisp program caused by a strange macro.)

Emacs Lisp shows that if you give someone a turing-complete
programming language on top of a powerful piece of software with a
clean and well-documented API, programmers will ignore the warts and
enhance the software in ways you never thought possible.

Guile is not a perfect programming langauge, and I would never use it
by choice. But if I started using some piece of software that used it
for configuration, I know I would love it because it would stay out of
the way and let me make things. Once you are making cool things,
you don't care about the syntax or programming language features at
your disposal: you just make it work.

Some other examples of this include JavaScript for Firefox extensions
and Vimscript for Vpim extensions. JavaScript is very ... minimal
compared to other languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, Haskell, and so
on, but people write great browser extensions anyway. Vimscript is
the weirdest thing I've ever seen but Vim is able to do a lot of cool
stuff despite this.

The only thing a successful extension language needs is something
worth extending. If you use Guile as your extension language, you
can concentrate doing that instead of writing your own programming
langauge toolchain.

erlangs parse transforms are indeed just as powerful but no where near as easy to use. They allow you to modify your source file in pretty much the same way but the ast you are modifying is way more complicated than lisps and much more difficult to properly modify.

If Lisps macros are difficult for the average user to learn then Erlangs Parse Transforms are even more so and a much larger barrier to usage than lisps. It's rare for an erlang developer to reach for a Parse Transform it's rare for a lisp developer not to reach for one.
