HN is example of proper enhancement.

Now back in reality: my 1GB RAM netbook can afford about 15 pages, much less my 400MB smartphone. Such incredible hardware spoiled by feature misuse.

Web fonts, animations, components and tracking can go to hell. If people disable a feature there is a reason. If there are not many of them and they are highly educated, other just don't know how to remove all that crap.

In the end only text meters.

good points all around here guys, thanks.
I mean, really, what is the article complaining about here? The most often clicked on organic search results appear above the fold. If you need more, scroll down a bit.

Maybe I'm the minority, but if what I'm looking for isn't one of the first few results, I modify my query. Google is showing the stuff that makes it money, and the organic stuff we're most likely to need.

And at the end of the day, what we're talking about is having to scroll down on a page. Faux blog outrage.
You include a library in your project and add a few lines of code to integrate it. It should not take more than 2 mins. We're still authoring the doc pages.

Very cool and immediately useful.

Might want to go over the "flow" of how the application will be used?

I'm guessing the interviewer will set up the "pad" and just send a URL to the interviewee?
Not exactly a fair comparison considering you are using some sort of software to block the ad I get on that search. I only get three search results on my screen, if you consider the Wikipedia info and ad to not be organic, very similar to Google search.

And frankly, those search results are useless. If I am searching for auto mechanic, it is highly unlikely I am doing so to know the definition of an auto mechanic. Google may be creepy in its tracking, but at least by tracking me they can point me to a mechanic in my area.
I don't think any serious business would advertise on 4chan. The audience is too illicit and ill-mannered.
That would be Non-refoulement, and a major violation of the UN agreement. I am not sure of any physical consequences to the country that does this, beyond a damaged reputation.

And what of the needs of the other kids in the room, who might need to be able to hear what the teacher is saying?

A whispered request for clarification on something the teacher just said is one thing. 15 separate conversations about the latest Call of Duty and who made out with whom while the teacher tries to explain material is disruptive.
This is almost completely unrelated to problems of children disrupting a class, not complying with requests, not listening, etc. Which are real issues. These are not strictly moral issues, but we are screwing kids over if we don't try to help them learn these skills in some compassionate and effective way, and we are screwing over all the other kids in a class when we do nothing about disruptions. What a kid wants right in this moment is not always what is best for the kid in the long term, even more often not what is best for other kids.
I'm an entrepreneur turned investor. Convince me in two sentences
I agree with the arguments here on the whole. However, if you declare a local search on your own, by simply including "italian restaurant in tribeca", Google offers far more organic results. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32342947/Screen%20Shot%2...
Things like NumbaPro[1] and OpenACC[2] are going to go much further towards making gpu programming more mainstream than a lisp dialect.

NumbaPro is a python library that let's you JIT python into CUDA or CPU vector extensions via decorators.

OpenACC is similar (or possibly developed out of) OpenMP in that it takes a directive driven approach to accelerating code. Given a loop you can add a pragma above it with instructions of how it should run a GPU and it will make it happen.

[1] http://docs.continuum.io/numbapro/
[2] http://www.openacc-standard.org/

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I believe we'll be seeing less writing of GPU code directly and more using of libraries that do the hard work for you. Some algorithms on GPUs are quite tricky to get right, and even with a language that makes them easy to express they are non-trivial to design and test. (Nvidia already provides Thrust with cuda which provides a nice STL like library that implements a lot of common routines)

[3] http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/thrust/
I agree. From what I've read about other famous fugitives, it seems you're much better off if the country wanting to find you doesn't know where you are in the first place. A country where you can remain hidden is better than one where you can't, even if the latter has no extradition treaty.
4chan has been struggling to break even for years, mostly because no one wants to advertise there. So I think these "self-serve" ads are a great idea because they engage the community. After all, 4chan's biggest strength has always been its users.

Now that I think of it, this play was probably inspired by the recent 4chan banner/ad contests that drew thousands of submissions, many of them quite high quality.

I'm excited to see what people do with this. Good work moot.
The person you are responding to is not talking about user-uploaded content.
I'm not a huge fan of Sharepoint, but I'm pretty sure you can do some basic at least view of Excel files in Sharepoint. Alternatively, you can share the documents out with a read/write lock.

>Legal is going to be nearly impossible. //

There are probably several countries in which it's not illegal to produce or consume LSD?

Or maybe on a boat in international waters? Perhaps that could be a new line for P&O.
The auction model for ads basically ruins internet searches in transactional categories. If you want to win at the "italian restaurant" search game, you have to bid the highest for the ad, which means you must have the highest margin. The best way to win is to open a restaurant with ridiculously high margins (over priced wine and cheap ingredients).

Want the "cheapest car insurance"? Google is zero help. It sends you to Geico or a bunch of lead-gen sites, and no matter what, you will end up at an insurance company that makes the biggest margins.

If you really want the cheapest car insurance, you need to find a company that doesn't advertise, and is non-profit, that way your premium is spent buying insurance, not TV ads and Berkshire Hathaway's stock appreciation.

Whenever I see a SERP full of ads, I search for something different. When there is nothing but ads, Google is sending you to high-margin crap.
Introducing Cloud Typography Webfonts by H&FJ
You may have missed this part of the article:

The scariest part of this is that, if you sell something using the internet, regardless of whether or not you see yourself as a “local" business - or think you’re competing with Google - Google sees you as competition. Searching for “Camera" or “Buy a Dress Shirt" gets you a nearly identical split of screen real estate as that of “local" searches.
Ah, to have grown up in an education system where homework and in-class participation aren't counted as some huge part of the grade!
As a developer, writing for an expensive accessory like Glass is already a crap shoot. Writing for people who have two expensive accessories? There's almost no point.
I've had more than my share of Android devices, going all the way back to the G1. It's always been trivial to bypass the Google account login, should you want to (I even did that for a while on a spare phone that I was lazy about sending back for warranty service). As another commenter notes, getting third-party apps may be more complicated, but there are several options (Amazon, AndroidPIT, GetJar and other stores, including regional/local ones.
Are there any possible legal repercussions? I mean, yeah, if they made upwards of 12 million dollars from their site then banning it from reddit isn't exactly going to hurt them...
Have you tried deleting things from your page till you work out what causes the warning? Just start with a static copy of you page, and gradually delete elements till you find the culprit. It shouldn't take long to go through through the elements of the page and work it out if this is some sort of heuristic triggered by some element on your page and not based on the domain.

Another thing it could be is if you fetch any assets at all from your domain, and the domain is blacklisted, that causes the warning regardless of the page where it is hosted.

Help!

Most of this discussion I understand. One point
is, it all involves lots of work with browser
cookies stored on the user's computer.

My approach so far is to send the user
the character string version of a GUID
(globally unique identifier, supposely
unique in all space and time, on all computers
or some such) in an HTML text box marked
as "hidden" so that it doesn't show on the
screen. Then I use that GUID value as
a key in a key-value store where the value
keeps the short term info I want on the
user and their 'session'. I wrote my
own little key-value store with TCP/IP,
some class instance de/serialization,
and two instances of a .NET collection
class.

However, my understanding is that some browsers
are willing to help implement the function
"Remmeber me on this computer" without help of
cookies. How? My guess: For the text boxes on the
login in Web page, in the HTML use names
for the boxes that the browser interprets
as 'user name' and 'password', and then
the browser stores the contents
in its dedicated disk space
by Web page. Right?

So, there's a 'security hole' here
if the user is on a computer shared
with other people!

Also, my understanding is that
so far on mobile devices, the browsers
do not permit cookies. True? And
if so, do mobile browsers permit
the function of remember me I
described above?

Thanks.

Here's a cool story on the Macintosh, and a totally unrelated -- but still very cool picture accompanying it.
Teaching doesn't have to be organized as a lecture from the front. For how many of those other kids is it optimal? Alternative styles have been around for decades. It doesn't take much to learn about them if you just Google a bit.
I'm assuming some people are downvoting you to help disprove your point, but to be clear, once you've reached a karma threshold you can downvote.
Yup! Updated copy for the landing page is coming down the pipe. I should really make that bit explicit.
And you got a full page reload for your troubles. That was the point. Had you enabled js, you'd get the better user experience, by not having to do that roundtrip. You might not care if you're at your desktop on a fat pipe, but performance and user experience matters. Speed matters.
Yep, we effectively did this. But as my comment alludes to, it doesn't really matter. You have enough to uniquely identify someone.
I like how we Hacker News users are brave enough to admit under very public profiles that we have, in fact, been to 4chan.

Firefox used ~50% less memory than Chrome on open pages, but the composite memory score was slightly for Chrome because after closing the tabs Firefox used more memory over its starting amount. Tom's basically treated this as a leak when really it was just fixed overhead (wouldn't grow when opening and closing the tabs over and over).

FF 'won' this benchmark despite a unfair memory score against it.
Torrentfreak is such a terrible linkbait sensationalist piece of poop. This is one decision of one court for a specific tiny selection of films. It has absolutely no meaning in a broader sense.

Thumbtack - San Francisco

Thumbtack is a new way to find and hire local services like DJs, photographers, house cleaners, French tutors, and contractors. Over 250k small businesses around the country have joined Thumbtack, and we're making real money from connecting buyers and sellers.

Thumbtack's people are down-to-earth, practical, and intelligent. Everyday for lunch we all sit down to a meal cooked by our in-house chef. On Wednesday nights, we stay late for a hot dinner, some wine, guests, and great conversation. Sometimes we drink beer that we've been brewing in the back closet.

Thumbtack's gotten some good press recently because Sequoia just invested. (Very exciting.)

Our tech stack is a combination of Python, PHP (think Facebook, not Wordpress), Mongo, Postgres, AngularJS/Backbone.

Ping me (chris @) if you want to learn more, chat, etc. Happy to meet up for coffee if you're in SF.

Cheers!

Aside from the flippant tone, I sort of agree with the point...judging by the habits that I see a lot of millenials exhibiting in the workplace, the general breakdown of discipline in primary education over the last 2-3 decades has not served students well in the classroom or on the job. I think it has mostly to do with "helicopter parenting" ("WHAT? My kid is not the problem, you are!") ... where teachers used to be able to count on parents backing them up, they mostly just complain and try to get the teacher fired for disciplining the kid - ergo, the teacher either has to give up instilling discipline in their classroom (thereby hurting the education of every other kid in the class) or resign themselves to spending a huge amount of time fighting parents instead of focusing on their lessons and having their career hurt as a result...it's a catch-22 for teachers.
short answer: Yes.
long answer: Yessssssssssssssssssssss.
I find it peculiar that you regularly cite scientific studies of this and that, and yet you are using this terribly misleading, n-of-1 implication that home schooling is why your oldest son has the success he has. Do you really think that children cannot do exactly the same thing coming out of a public school, and if so, why?
OpenCL is used to JIT OpenGL calls based on the hardware. Its magic.
Even so, the chrome browser has a great integration with google products and with my android, so I will stay here for now....

What happened to the higher ranking mod who tried to intimidate ManWithoutModem to not look into the issue any further...?
Yeah I think you're missing the point, that everyone takes drugs in some form and he'd like to guide her into doing so intelligently.

He doesn't assume she's going to try all sorts of things at all. At least I didn't read that into anything he said.

I'm 29, and I've never tried alcohol or drugs aside from caffeine, and I have not had the same feelings of incredulity from anyone.

Also, I'd bet that our apathy comes from our never having experienced drugs, rather than some innate apathy to the idea.
>How long have you been using google? Probably long time. During this time you (unconsiously) learned how to ask questions "google way", now you need to learn to quack :p

I understand this, but most of us are looking for an alternative to Google and not a completely different search engine.

Edward Snowden Applies To Russia For Asylum
Twitch.tv in San Francisco is hiring engineers.

At twitch we work with the largest people in the gaming industry. We've rocketed to the top of the gaming industry food chain - all within 2 years of our launch. We're looking for talented engineers that like building the right things in the right way.

Feel free to hit me up if you're interested / have questions, I head up our engineering team:

ossareh at twitch.tv

We're looking for full stack engineers (Ember.js on the front end, rails on the backend) and Dev Ops engineers (help us scale our data tier, help us move over to jruby, we already serve thousands of requests/sec across our infrastructure - help us reach millions!).
It really bothers me that the word "meme" has become a synonym for these Advice Animal style images.
>1. Obama made a huge* back-channel concession to Russia to get them to deny Snowden asylum. He had to do something to get Putin to decide not to shelter Snowden, and it would likely be an extremely painful concession. Most likely something security related in eastern Europe, probably BMD.

Realistically, that's not much of a concession, even though the Russians will play it up as such. It'll be a political hit for Obama from the 10 people who still care about it in the US, but in terms of international politics, it won't be all that much. Think about it this way: Russia is one of the largest oil producing nations in the world. They supply most of Europe. Why would they nuke their paying customers?

The BMD interceptors that are currently planned on getting put in eastern Europe have a very questionable test record, are stupidly expensive, and, in all honesty, were a needless provocation of the Russians when they were planned during the Bush administration. Removing them would save a lot of people a lot of money and de-escalate a silly situation.
Do results from https://startpage.com work for people in the US? I've been using it for a couple of weeks now (I'm in the EU) and it seems like it works very well (it claims to get its results from Google, but without affecting privacy). It shows some display ads, the percentage of screen real estate used is much smaller than for Google itself.
I would be quite fascinated to learn if the AdviceAnimals moderator that quashed the first investigation into gtw08 was receiving kickbacks from Quickmeme. The article does not go into that at all and it seems like an obvious point to address.
The idiots can't think of a single solitary good reason why the person responsible for installing Firefox would want the ability to choose or to give the user the ability to choose.
