If your concern is the security of 3rd party JS you should already be using NoSript/ScriptSafe [1]. Keep same-domain policy as safe and 3rd party domains blocked and opt-in only by default.

The day-to-day UX experience of browsing the web is only minimally affected and significantly safer.

Better than adblock.

If your concern is the host operator, well obv can't circumvent that. Unless you use OSS chrome plugins and client code verifications (ala CryptoCat). But that's also an imperfect solution (cue tptacek).

The fact that companies, politicians, and other interests are paying PR people to edit or create articles shouldn't come as a surprise. Take a look at almost any living famous person's profile, and chances are you'll see a large amount of spin and fluff. And let's not forget the 2012 PR scandal involving a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK and a Wikipedian In Residence who were "allegedly editing Wikipedia pages and facilitating front-page placement for their pay-for-play, publicity-seeking clients."(1)

PR also makes it into Wikipedia through sanctioned channels -- namely mass media citations which are considered "reliable sources", even though the content of the citation comes from a press release or helpful PR person.

This brings up an issue related to Wikipedia's policy that requires substantial third-party coverage for new articles. It is a flawed test for the importance of a subject.

Press coverage tends toward the sensational, visual, beautiful, controversial, current, language-specific, and easily explained. If a topic doesn't meet those criteria, it probably won't be covered by the press -- unless the topic in question has some well-connected PR firm or publicist pushing for it.

Another issue with press coverage is "established" media is contracting. There aren't as many editors assigning stories, or reporters crafting unbiased profiles of companies, organizations, topics and people. This has an significant, indirect impact on the types of topics that can be sourced according to Wikipedia's official rules.

"Ghera" is a Hindi word meaning "Deep". "Gehri" is a Punjabi word meaning "Rounds" (literally). As @gsa said, we can say it as "a joyride". That is actually a better explanation for it

Yes, it's amazing and I look up this stuff from time to time, but (and forgive me if I'm being obtuse and missing the point of HN) why is this standard wikipedia page hacker news?
Robert Tucker, Kropotkin, Chomsky, etc. all give us a clear idea as to how and why anarchism MUST work.

Governments (where before religions, but at a moral level, religions still do) exist as a function of hegemonic markets (corporations) such that governments limit the powers of liberty of individuals through the frameworks of blind justice (corporations are just like us).

This is not new. Corporations are not just like us. What do economic categories have to do with the rightness or wrongness of action? What does economic stratification have to do with the limits of human freedom? If our autonomy is limited, we do not need an Indexed Dollar to inform us of this; the market will tell us all by itself.

Just like as J.S. Mill argued in terms of Women's Suffrage — Why do we need a government to legislate what Women can or cannot do when Nature will determine this all on her own?

Why do we need a Government to legislate what we are economically capable of or not? (We don't.)
"put people together, do no training, hope they work together" that's usually a sign of an inexperienced manager.

That said, I do agree that much of what I said assumes you are dealing with adults that actually want to be there. If you have a demoralized team that doesn't want to work together, there is a whole other managerial skill set that is needed trying and bring them together. Unfortunately, often times things are too far gone to salvage all team members, especially in such market as we have today in tech - just raise a hand and recruiters beat down your door.

I use notion, and will be for the foreseeable future. I suspect the article skipped it because it's in nonfree on Debian.

>At 240x, they'd be seriously considering shorting the stock.

I have associates involved in the management of a hedge fund, and they inform me that shorts are so highly demanded for the web IPOs of 2011 and 2012 that they've actually had trouble getting them.

Most professional investors aren't buying the hype this time around, I think. Even Facebook's IPO last year vastly underperformed. The consequences of the inevitable fold of Facebook will be very interesting.

or it may be the absolute truth - which you are dismissing as anecdotal.

In either case it is worth keeping an open mind, because if it is true, then we are in serious trouble. Sticking your head in the sand and saying "no data, no data" is not useful even if at the end of the day you are correct. When the consequences of being right or wrong (depending on your point of view) are so dire, it is worth investigating further and certainly not dismissing out of hand.

This is not fully clear yet, as we need more.20 years or so in this situation to be sure, but seemly women are being convinced that they want careers, and they regret it later... Right now the numbers of 50 year old childless women due to feminism is still low, but many of those few are drifting to be against feminism.instead and attempt to convince younger women to not repeat their mistakes. Mostly because when you are a 50 year old childless rich women, you realize that now you still have 30 years to live, nothing to do, and few people to love and care for you.
The program feedback loop doesn't need to exist in the process feedback loop...often they don't, and even in live programming the program is not running in the production real time sense.

>In this case livecoding.io only seems to be for coding fixed media. Is the program actively running or not? In terms of UX it doesn't really matter either way, so our live coding/live programming distinction is pretty much irrelevant.

Agreed. Such simple systems (like khan academy) tend to be single trick ponies around live refresh. One mechanism doesn't make a story, and so it doesn't even make sense to put it in a story bucket.

>If it was possible to do animation in livecoding.io then it would be a clearer case of live coding by our definition, but obviously that wouldn't stop it from also being a live programming environment.

Agreed, they can overlap, but how animation was dealt with could lead down either path to the exclusion of the other (does it support improvisation or development). From me on LtU:

> In that sense, I'm not working on a new way of programming, just speeding up the feedback loop of our current programming practice. If some new way of cybernetic programming eventually emerges from the faster feedback (unexpected benefits of improved tooling happen all the time), maybe live coding will make more sense to me. Maybe that is the key difference of our approaches.

Mechanism is perhaps less relevant than the experience trying to be achieved. In this essay, I described a live programming "make development better" experience. Someone could probably take my videos and describe them with a very different improvised live coding story on top of them also, focusing on activities I don't understand and definitely did not design for, but since the mechanisms involved overlap...

This is why terms are so powerful: the use of "live coding", if it stands for something, is a brand that allows us to quickly decide what we are going to see and experience when we click on the link. It will also elicit strong denial from those who don't want to be in that brand, since their problem spaces and approaches are very different.

Nuggets from Startup School 2013
the proposed non-government solutions (such as removing the limitations on the liability of polluters, and allowing those whose health or livelihood has been injured by pollution to sue, potentially by class action) have never even been attempted.

The mistake you're making here is to think that this is a non-governmental solution. Yes, it is law that is preventing this solution from being enacted, but it is in the context of government that it could happen at all: government runs the courts and forces the loser of a suit to pay the winner.

Your argument is akin to the people who shout "keep your government hands off my medicare," or the politicians who insist that government can't do anything right, and to prove it they get into office and do everything wrong.

Yes, government in America is broken and ineffectual. It will only be fixed when we as a people decide that it's time for a government that responds to the needs of the people rather than only the wealthy; when we decide to stop being afraid and end the police state we're living in, and replace it with a government that works. Yes every government has its problems, but not all of them are as broken and destructive as ours. Saying government can't solve problems is part of the problem -- it keeps us from focusing our efforts on the kind of collective action that could actually make a difference.

What say you, brothers? Who is with me?

Of course, the simple solution is to charge users a small annual fee for advanced features if not even for basic account maintenance. Your FB profile would become read-only if you don't pay an annual fee.

It's always so intriguing to me that people cling so hard to the ad-supported models even though it's shown that they simply don't work except in anomalous cases, not even for Facebook, which surely receives humongous portions of all net users' attention. It's not a good starting strategy for anyone, and it appears that it's not a good long-term strategy even for the lottery winners that have actually "made money" from it heretofore.
I can be wrong about App Engine. Here is my reasoning...

I think App Engine does not fit nicely into Google's grand vision: which is mobile, social, and search for advertising purposes. So they need to be become profitable soon or they will be shut down.

However they lack enterprise customers and without enterprise and corporate customers it very hard to make things profitable.

I enjoyed the article for the interesting story and its description of how PR manipulation of Wikipedia works, but its speculation on how the problem is getting worse was entirely unsubstantiated.

It's plausible enough that efforts by Wiki PR and similar firms are growing, but the article didn't offer any evidence or attribute claims like "In a few years, a significant percentage of Wikipedia’s content could be spam." Given that Wiki PR seems to have had little success getting articles reinstated, it may be that the problem will be held at bay now that Wikipedia contributors have been alerted.

Prime items aren't immune from inventory contamination. Via Fulfillment by Amazon third party sellers can qualify for Prime also, and there's no guarantee that that inventory is any good.

Worse yet, when I worked at Amazon a fair whiles back FBA 3rd party merchants had their inventory mixed into the general Amazon pool, creating a hell of a inventory contamination problem. This was particularly egregious in products where just about everything sold by a third party was a knockoff (see: memory cards). You could buy directly from Amazon and receive knockoff goods by virtue of a third party contaminating the supply by storing their inventory at Amazon's warehouses.

I'm not sure if this has been fixed. I sure as hell hope so.
At least, in my experience at least, Amazon is always there to help out in the end. This is good enough in my book. They can't possibly keep track of all the bad apples, but at least they can make sure you get the right product (or money back) in the end.

Shaking things up and changing your life drastically is fun and exciting......... for a while. Then you have to learn to build a life that you find sustainable, whatever it is, or else you will always be running. This is sometimes called the "distance cure".

Again, doing this feels great. For a while. I did it myself. But you should learn to distrust that good feeling, to examine it and find out why it's happening. A note of warning though, you probably won't like what you find. It's really easy to fool yourself into thinking that you are effecting change when really you are doing anything but. We are being lied to, by ourselves.
Awww... no WindowMaker.

This is one of the things that made me switch back to Linux from OS X. Inspired by this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6270254 I started running #! on a Tecra M2, and I now switch between the standard OpenBox config and dwm pretty constantly. The sheer feeling of freedom that you get from not being limited by a proprietary system where configuration is discouraged is one of the best parts of Linux and free software.

In all honesty though, dwm, awesome, and i3 are probably my favorite picks for minimalism. There's just nothing that comes close to a hybrid/tiling WM in terms of efficiency.

It's like vim. You don't ever realize how awful using the arrow keys and Ctrl-whatever was until you've tried HJKL and the massive amount of keybindings in vim, along with the endless configurability of your .vimrc.

Floating WMs are convenient, but tiling WMs are just quality. On a 1024x768 screen, they save so much space that you never thought you needed.

Article is spot on about mongodb being ideal for online games. We use it as the main datastore for our latest game, and it has worked out very well for us. My main gripes with it has been key values taking up too much space and how difficult it is to shard. I think Rethink DB will be even better once that matures.
I've been thinking about 'big changes' in my life and in that of my families. I too am privileged to a degree. Reading your comment though has made me think and I'd like to thank you for that. Its easier to think of doing one big step, but really you're right - I need to stop thinking that I'm too busy to meditate or do yoga and I just need to do it. I've already stopped consuming too much media but every single of your points are valid in terms of what I need to do. Thank you.

The problem isn't so much the sex is it? The problem is of course demographic. Related, but not the same. Amazingly the government of Japan surely understands the problem at hand, and still refuses to act. Labour laws of course cannot allow an employer to fire someone (or choose not to hire) based on pregnancy (or being a woman of that age). There is only one sure way of making women as desirable to hire in this respect: ensure men stay at home with children just as much as women. State subsidized childcare and a year or two of paid maternal/paternal leave per child would be a net win for Japan (as it is for most such countries).

>It's stupid because they have multiplied a couple anecdotes, conflated decreased reproductive output and formalized relationships with a decrease in actual sex, and gotten all breathless and hyperbolic about it.

This doesn't fit the article:

> A survey earlier this year by the Japan Family Planning Association (JFPA) found that 45% of women aged 16-24 "were not interested in or despised sexual contact". More than a quarter of men felt the same way.

So A: the person asking the questions isn't a reporter, B: they aren't British, and C: they have every reason to figure out a way to get people to answer the questions honestly, i.e., not "cultural misunderstanding" where someone at a party lies about how much sex they have.

What your argument really boils down to is: "no measurement, real or otherwise, could ever possibly indicate that Japanese people are having less sex": i.e. your post is unfalsifiable, and your claim thusly ludicrous.

>There may well be ongoing generational changes to reproductive and marriage/relationship behavior in Japan [...] but this article doesn't go there.

Did you read it?

>Japan's Institute of Population and Social Security reports an astonishing 90% of young women believe that staying single is "preferable to what they imagine marriage to be like".

So we can correctly interpret your post: what precisely is "going there", if not this?

The article is also based on the opinions of two people who have been claiming to study Japanese sexual behavior: the therapist Ai Aoyama and the sociologist Nicholas Eberstadt. Certainly the opinion of two "experts" is not a conclusive analysis of a situation, but this is a pretty ordinary way of sourcing information for a news article. It isn't particularly "stupid" for this. Which is why statements like this:

>There's no evidence of any trend that young people in Japan have stopped having sex.

make you look dishonest in light of this:

I had a panic attack recently. Let me tell you, it is worst feeling in the world. The urge to reset your life after such a event is almost natural. It's like, If I don't change right now, I would not be able to live any longer.

I started changing little things. I started sleeping more.

I made it a point to do a 6 Km walk everyday.

I cut down on alcohol.

I stopped seeing people whom I had wanted to avoid for a long time but was not doing so out of social pressures.

I started seeing my parents more often.

I also signed up for an online meditation course.

I started working less ( Looking back, this maybe was the most effective thing)

It takes days to overcome a full fledged panic attack. For days you would dread that you might get another panic attack when you're least expecting it. Like when you're in office or when you are driving or when you're shopping.

I have changed my lifestyle and I can tell you I am quite happy after I did so.

I hope OP also experienced something similar.
