Could you be more specific. What impossible thing have I done today?
Yes, unless there's a paid development position at the end of the course. ;-) But seriously, your first programming language should be one where there are numerous entry-level programming jobs in companies where you live. Network, network, network!
Why I Make Terrible Decisions
For people who are missing your second link: youtube-dl is a video downloader, and it works on far, far more than just YouTube.

The benefits: you download videos at your discretion and preference. You can archive them if you want (I do this largely for documentary / lecture videos), and play them back locally using the video player of your preference. I generally prefer either mplayer or xine, both offer keyboard controls over playback, vastly better rewind / forward control than YouTube's default player (or anyone else's for that matter), consistent video controls for all videos, and the ability to speed up (I run most straight presentation videos at 120 - 160% of normal) or slow down (things going boom) videos as desired.

Embedded players are OK for getting a quick sample of something or very brief content, but not for serious viewing.

Does that valuation mean anything? What about liquidity? If I had 10 k BTC today, could I trade that for $ 10.5 M on the spot?

This article is 4 years old and has been debunked over and over again.

This has a links to a number of studies on the subject

Glad I am not the only one. In the last week or so I've noticed increase in ads as well. It's really annoying now, I frequently just skip watching video all together, I have a short attention span for this nonsense. 30 second ad so I can watch 1 minute video, no thank you.
This is a really good analysis – I thought the design was simple at first, but now even the cable-passing-cable version linked in the wikipedia page looks liable to jam as teeth pass in and out of the top channel.

For something like this to even have a chance, it would probably need many more, thinner teeth than these diagrams illustrate.

EDIT: @analogwintermut I think this addresses your question.
All of your points are completely valid today. I would come back in 5 years and see that probably all of those are achievable by the browser and Javascript.

Eg:
>1) Anything low level hardware (reading data via USB, or pushing data into HDMI, for instance)

I would expect that a Nexus device can do Chromecast from browser screen, if not today then soon.

>2) Interacting with ANY hardware that's not explicitly supported by Javascript. Try creating an HTML5/JS scanner app.

You mean like, taking a photo and processing it? You can do that right now.

>3) Writing super-fast CPU-specific code, think Assembly language. That's the reason there are no HTML5 apps of the Photoshop caliber

Yet, agreed. But soon - only CPU is slowing it down, not the technology.

>4) Disk access. Try creating a Javascript-based antivirus. Or an app that watches for changes in a certain directory.

There won't be a filesystem as we know it. The 'cloud' and browser-accessible storage will be all we need.

>5) Internal network access. Try writing a JS app interacting with your localhost or TCP/IP or UDP.

Sockets, it's possible now.
Thanks for the info! I'm glad I never introduced my son to soy products..
Yep, I find coinbase really easy for buying / selling. Before coinbase, selling bitcoins was such a hassle...

For buying, I use to just buy through blockchain.info, once you created a wallet, you could just put an amount you wanted to add in and run down to the nearest moneygram / western union. The process was fairly painless, took me 20 minutes. You type in the number of bitcoins you want, print out a piece of paper with instructions. Head down to moneygram or western union, follow the instructions of hand it to the person there, they do everything for you, you pay in cash. Refresh your bitcoin wallet and you should see your coins there shortly.
I think almond milk tastes better anyways.
Richard Feynman mentions these in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!:

> One mechanical engineer at Frankfort was always trying to design things and could never get everything right. One time he designed a box full of gears, one of which was a big, eight-inch-diameter gear wheel that had six spokes. The fella says excitedly “Well, boss, how is it? How is it?”

> “Just fine!” the boss replies. “All you have to do is specify a shaft passer on each of the spokes, so the gear wheel can turn!” The guy had designed a shaft that went right between the spokes!

> The boss went on to tell us that there was such a thing as a shaft passer (I thought he must have been joking). It was invented by the Germans during the war to keep the British minesweepers from catching the cables that held the German mines floating under water at a certain depth. With these shaft passers, the German cables could allow the British cables to pass through as if they were going through a revolving door. So it was possible to put shaft passers on all the spokes, but the boss didn’t mean that the machinists should go to all that trouble; the guy should instead just redesign it and put the shaft somewhere else.
You didn't understand. You start at "equal" not 50%.

That's why in my explanation not all the shares are given out.

The reserve lets you both work to add equity, you can work together and stay equal, or one of you can do more to change the ratio.
Is this going to be your only source of information on the subject?
The problem is mission creep. The Patriot Act was enacted to fight terrorism. But the powers granted by the act have been utilized in over 100 times as many drug related cases as terrorism related cases [1].

To think that these surveillance capabilities won't be used to gain political and economical advantages is foolish. Der Spiegel has an article claiming that OPEC is being spied upon by the NSA and GCHQ. [2]

Considering the track record of these agencies conveniently redefining common English words, such as "collect", who is to say what constitutes a "national security interest"?

On hacking president’s website,Two Singaporeans arrested
Two Singaporean men have been arrested for allegedly defacing the president’s website during a recent rash of cyber attacks in the city-state, police said on Thursday.
The men, aged 17 and 42, were arrested following a complaint lodged by the website administrators of the Istana, the official residence of President Tony Tan.
Advertisers do not pay for skipped ads.
I personally have no problem with including ads with YouTube content- it was always going to end that way.

The problem is the fact you have to 'pay' before you get to play. When a FTA tv puts on a movie, they give you 10-15 minutes of content to hook you into he movie, then ramp up the ads toward the end, knowing hor going to stick around to see the end.

YouTube != TV movies, but it feels like you have to watch all the superbowl ads upfront before a player takes the field. When you're speculatively flicking through YouTube videos looking for the right one, it degrades the experience when you have to go through the ad process before even committing to watching even 10% of the video.

So to me it would be better if the ad cut in during the frat x seconds of the video. The video owner could pick a break-point when editing so the more pro channels could properly cut to an ad-break, and the viewers could could set through the dross to find the one without the cheesy music and graphic overlays or terrible quality.

The content creator might get paid when you click, or might get paid per impression. The the creator is absolutely not paid is when you click Skip. Click skip when you don't like the ad; It drives up the price for a successful watch, because ads that get skipped don't get played. There's an ecosystem, it can be played, but it has the proper knobs and controls to combat the playing.
Interesting! I just had a quick look at the video and was looking at request params. Does martini support optional params? For example:

m.Get("/something/:optional?"...

Something like Laravel's request parameters: http://laravel.com/docs/routing#route-parameters

or even route filters. Those would be suitable for that Auth demo, it looks like a filter, but would also be nice to have a group for routes and filter over those.
Not really true. You have to deposit your cash and/or your BTC into Bitstamp's accounts. Only then you can trade them. And you only get cash and/or BTC back when you withdraw. In between it's just a bunch of data being pushed around, no actual transactions (though they seem like transactions, they only exist inside Bitstamp's database).
I removed the sentence because you're right. I assumed it worked like I said but like always, assumption is the mother of all errors. My apologies for the misinformation and thanks for bringing it up.
Youtube has 2 types of users it needs to worry about: viewers, and uploaders. One of its major offerings to uploaders is the ability to monotize. It is difficult to see how a competitor can offer this without advertisements.
Frustrating yes. Disgusting no. YouTube is provided to you as a free service and advertisers pickup the tab.

Google paid over $1B for YouTube and people upload over 10 new hours of video every minute. Did you honestly expect they'd wear that kind of expense for ever?
So what happens when it's just used to pass through a cable(i.e. how it's mentioned by Feynman)and not transfer power?
Skipping ads is so ingrained in us, YouTube has now taught my 6 year old daughter to skip ads. She was not doing that 2-3 months back. But now she does it and she does not even need help doing it.
What a pile of first world problems. I suspect a lot fewer guys will quit sugar and lose weight instead of quitting soy after reading this. And diabetes makes soy estrogen mimicking hormones look like kids' play when it comes to erectile dysfunction.

A guy in his 50s or 60s (well past when the boys are pumping out huge amounts of testosterone) drinking _3 quarts_ of soy milk per day is not exactly typical.

Just today I started noticing this, yes. It's driving me insane.
This is why I am always extremely skeptical of any kind of diet extremism. I cringe any time someone labels something a "superfood", as that means they are likely to encourage eating it far beyond the point where it is healthy. I also cringe any time a dietary recommendation to remove a major macronutrient (fat, carbs) from your diet; that tends to lead to extreme compensation with something else, which can also be unhealthy.

And this is also why I cringe about the hype over Soylent. We really don't know all that much about nutrition. We are constantly discovering new things about it; it's an incredibly complex topic, the way our body interacts with different things that we eat. Coming out with a product that you're encouraging people to replace their entire diet with, and saying that it's safe because you have personally tested it for a couple of months, is insane. A lot of these kinds of effects can only be seen after years, or only impact 10% of the population, or the like.

"In today's supermarkets," he says, his voice weary,
"you can't hardly get anything without at least some soy
in it."

It's funny that he says this. I eat very little soy, unless I've chosen to in the form of tofu or soy sauce. How do I manage this? By only buying things that don't need ingredient lists because they are a single ingredient. If you buy fresh produce, meat, flour, eggs, etc. and actually cook yourself, you can easily control what's in your diet. Don't buy prepackaged instant meals that you'll need to inspect the ingredient list of, and you'll be fine.

Anyhow, I'm sure that after articles like this, people will start doing the extreme reaction again, of "soy free" everything, replacing with something else that has some other potential health problem. Soy, in moderation, causes no problems for the vast majority of people. This guy is a special case, due to both his sensitivity and the extreme amount he consumed, replacing much of his protein intake with soy.

Interesting question.

I'm a developer for the linked site - if you're interested in posting the question in the comments I'll ping the author to see if he can answer.
It's impossible to predict things long-term. I mean, maybe we'll eventually get web applications that look and feel exactly like native apps. But maybe we'll still be stuck with kludgy, hacky, JS/HTML5-based apps that have rendering problems depending on your browser, that load in ugly chunks, that save your data to some proprietary cloud, that fail at concurrency, that don't integrate with your OS's multitasking workflow (Spaces, Mission Control), that take 5 times as long to run, and that stop working as soon as you go into a tunnel. And that's only from the user perspective; as a developer, I don't look forward to the nightmare of being stuck in a Javascript universe. I love being able to pick and choose from so many different frameworks, libraries, and languages when developing native apps; with Javascript, as soon as I try to do something simple, I inevitably end up with an SO answer that looks like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/950087/how-to-include-a-j...

(And no, "use JQuery" is not an answer; it's a symptom.)

Plus, it just feels shitty to not be able to own any of your tools. I don't want to rent my applications from some multinational corporation. I bought them, so they should be mine. (Yeah, yeah, nobody really owns anything anymore, but at least the bloody bits are on my drive!)

In short, if web apps are the future, I hope that a) they're only one of several commonly used paradigms, and b) we have something better than a browser to run them in.
You're right, and my bad at that wrong association.

Does youtube do anything smart around showing the same ads multiple times?

I watch a fair bit on twitch who don't have a lot of ads targeted at Australia. I think they do the advertiser and the viewer a disservice by repeating the same ad over and over again.

Say for example they are running an xbox one ad, after I have seen it for the 10th time in say a week I think it has really reached the maximum effectiveness that it is ever going to on me, showing it more is likely just blowing Microsoft's money.

We have a platform where everything can be precisely measured but the advertising is being shown like the traditional TV medium where there was no way to track how many times something was view by each viewer.
I don't know if tightness has anything to do with it. As long as the passer cannot escape its enclosure, it would pass power, because it is being dragged by the inner spoke. The real problem is the amount of force being placed on the passer and the probably impact of routinely passing the shaft through at high velocities.
I don't mean the projects. I mean the ideas he is trying to convince people of. Take for example his stance on DRM. What does success look like, or rather, what does it not look like? You might be able to argue moderate success in music (iTunes switching to DRM-free, but Spotify having DRM), yet in books the wide acceptance and love of Amazon's Kindle indicates a lost battle.
The creator will get zero if punters get irritated with having to run back and forth to their PC's, and just down load the work and consume it locally.
Give AdblockEdge a try. It's a true open source clean fork of AdblockPlus, and it doesn't have the "acceptable ads" whitelisted, which are only whitelisted in some cases because Google/etc. paid them off.
> Every participant in the system must keep a copy of the block chain, which now exceeds 11 gigabytes in size and continues to grow steadily. This alone deters casual use.

Is 11GB really that much? Downloadable video games and movies easily top this size, and it's not at all uncommon for a person to "have" several pieces of similar media.

Don't know how on earth you came to this conclusion considering the phone is designed to run native QT5 apps.

The fact that it has good support for HTML5 doesn't mean it's the focus... Maybe you have it confused with Firefox OS?
> It makes me a bit uncomfortable whenever someone openly justifies using omission as a tactic.

You raise a good point.

I think what you're seeing in the replies is that people will use the law however they see fit to get whatever advantage they want, while allying their own morals/ethics to the case.

In this case, we're talking about ever so slightly manipulating an airline, which is likely worth billions. Most people seem OK with that. (I am too, FWIW)

If we were talking about taking advantage of an individual, I think most people would agree that's not so cool.
Since when did HN become a YouTube support area?!

I personally haven't seen any uptake in ads nor will your anecdotal observations attract any sort of factual comments.

Also I don't think that a supposed 75% of videos showing ads is excessive (to get a perspective on "exessive" I suggest you take a look at Hulu).

Bandwidth isn't cheap and video creators deserve a paycheck, whinning about this sort of stuff strikes me as petty and a mark of false entitlement, also the FUD about G+ is unwarranted.

If you're truly wondering about related updates check their blogs, it's where the announcements usually are.

Everyone everywhere buys stuff based on how it has been sold to them. Not the individual or company selling the thing, but more the way the story of the thing has been told. Call them "foolish buyers" if you want, but this is how the majority of people make decisions. I suspect Stallman protests it by increasing his extremism as a response to it. That causes many people to dismiss him. The end result is that it is a disservice to his causes.
Could not agree more. Its almost frighting.

It kinda reminds me, as a long standing Formula 1 fan, of what NASCAR looked like on TV when I first started watching it. It was like being assaulted with brand names. Quite a culture shock.

However, these days, I try to be oh so generous and disable the adblock for sites that I, in my "wisdom", want to get the ad revenue. Hell, I'll even click a few if Im feeling especially generous!!!!
Oh I see what you're saying. That's cool!
It would be up to the advertiser and if they want to cap impressions per user or not. Some advertisers simply don't care, and they'll pay to show their ad to the same person hundreds of times. Others will cap it at 3 impressions per user. YouTube/Google doesn't care, they'll show the ads for whoever is willing to pay the most.

No, that's not what I meant. Pushing any data into HDMI, controlled by the app, not the screencasting.

No, I mean connecting to a scanner, scanning a document. You can't do it now. And don't tell me taking a snapshot with a built-in camera is the same thing

Sorry, I wasn't aware you could predict the future, and I thought we were talking about now.

> Sockets, it's possible now.

No, your JS app can't access the internal network, unless you expose it to the internet with TCP/IP. Sockets only let you connect to public servers. And no UDP (at least not explicitly).
