"Allow for some non-intrusive advertising"

This is what scared me about Add Block by default on browsers. Essentially what's happening is the monopolies (Google & FB) get to keep their profitable business models while all small time content publishers get stripped of revenue. WTF !?

Type 1 Diabetics have been asking for an insulin pump "as simple as the iPhone" for years. I would know, I've worked on insulin pump designs.

Branding certainly is not important, but UI is incredibly important in a number of medical devices, insulin pumps among them. Back in the early 00's a startup company won significant share in a few short years against the behemoth near-monopolist in the market by differentiating only on UI.

If you are going to write a big article on a 'problem', then it would be a good idea to spend some time explaining the problem, perhaps with some scenarios (real world or otherwise) to solve. Instead, this article just leaps ahead with a blind-faith 'we must do this!' attitude.

That's great if you are just toying with this sort of thing for fun, but perhaps worthless if you are advocating a style of server design for others.

Also, the decade-ago 10k problem could draw some interesting parallels. First of all, are machines today 1000 times faster? If they are, then even if you hit the 10M magic number, you will still only be able to do the same amount of work per-connection that you could have done 10 years ago. I am guessing that many internet services are much more complicated than a decade ago...

And if you can achieve 10M connections per server, you really should be asking yourself whether you actually want to. Why not split it down to 1M each over 10 servers? No need for insane high-end machines, and the failover when a single machine dies is much less painful. You'll likely get a much improved latency per-connection as well.

To answer other commenter's questions about the color, my perception is that it has to be the same color as the page background. This gives the illusion that the image is behind a 'window' in the page that is covered by the bars. Then when something moves from 'behind' the bars to 'in front' of them it gives the illusion of depth.
There are many commercial alternatives to OpenSSL. I've worked with one or two. There's bound to be one that suits your needs. Of course you may also need to go to a full commercial, non-FOSS stack, but I'm sure plenty of companies will have those to sell too.
I can pretty much always read sites that don't bother to override the browser defaults, whereas people's CSS efforts often make things hard to read.

It's obviously possible to make sites nicer using CSS, but if you're just trying to let people read your words rather than show off your design skills, leaving it to the browser's defaults is absolutely fine.

Cancer: 'Tumour monorail' can lead cancers to their doom
Inside Japan’s star making machinery
If you have good development practices in place, making a targeted build to prototype 3px UI improvements suggested by ANY trusted team member should be trivial and should be considered. After prototyping the change, it's possible to evaluate whether the suggested lightweight improvement falls into the range of essentially invisible (probably not worth the churn late-game, but fine earlier) to actually awesome (crank a build if you can). Even lightweight changes could break the hell out of some browsers/resolutions, so 3px is not really "free". Hell, 1px is not free if floating elements can cause layout changes or fixed elements can crash into adjoining ones. If you have challenges making and evaluating suggested changes on very rapid timescales, ANYpx is irrelevant in the scope of your other problems and you should trend against change where possible. Also note that I said "trusted" team member - if the team member pushing for design changes is not "trusted" that is a separate consideration - please weight appropriately. If you break the crap out of other areas, yeah, try the 3px at that point if it's a toss-up and the change is orthogonal to other changes. If you pay the price of looking at other changes, try to get the designer's suggested change tested for free. Trust, but verify.

I'm honestly unclear why you keep trying to shift the argument to whether advertising is a good or bad thing. That wasn't the assertion (or statement of preference, if you will) of the comment you first replied to, and it isn't my assertion one way or the other either. I believe I've made my position clear on whether making existing advertising more useful for the targeted individuals is a good thing, given that privacy is protected. You've made your opinion on some other issue very clear.

And just like IRL, online advertising is the same way. Who makes the rules is just a matter of people's self-respect. It turns out that wealth white people find it degrading to be subject to advertising, so they put all of those ads for menthol ciggarettes in and alchohol in the black people's neighborhoods.

So what's the online equivalent to wealthy white people keeping large obnoxious advertising out of their neighborhoods, and the advertising dollars being redirected towards less affluent or influential people? Who are the elites in this situation?
Am I correct in assuming this only affects the stock firmware and not say dd-wrt which I have installed on my e3200?

Which by the way is a pretty solid router so far. Aside from dd-wrt not supporting its 5ghz radio. I tried a Tomato build for it that support 5ghz, but for some reason my router would just lock up every other day with that firmware no matter how it was installed.

Yeah, great. Drive away one of the few reporters who understands what's going on. Good idea.
Unlike the other respondants, I am going to be supportive but still a bit critical. They do have a point that when "cool" is too narrowly defined, everyone misses out.

But that being said, what is missing in our society right now is a more reasonable form of this, which says "invest in your children's businesses, help them achieve success, and see your children's economic life as your retirement plan." Your kids may have their own lives, and very often they are going to get to define what 'cool' means. But if there is mutual support there, they are far more likely to succeed.

Except the difference at the margin is never just an extra hour of a day. It's almost always weeks instead of days or years instead of month. And that is fine when you are doing things for yourself and have no other requirements on your time, but when you're being paid spending two month on something instead of week just pisses everybody around you off.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm working on a project right now that I'd love to do 'right'. Spend weeks doing a literature study to catch up on and really understand the current state of the art, then implement three or four different approaches to really get a feel how they work under real world conditions. After that I would try to pick the best aspects of those algorithms and try to write some really smart code that analyses the input and picks the best algorithm based on the data. Then I would tune that code until it is as fast, stable and memory efficient as possible and finally put a really slick UI on top of it. Trust me, nothing would give me greater satisfaction.

Unfortunately I got the project late last week, deadline is in less than two weeks and I have two other projects I'm working on in parallel. So I'm going to end up grabbing some off the shelf solution, tweaking it until it works well enough, wrapping it in up in some hacky shell script and make up for inefficiency by throwing more hardware at the problem. It's not optimal, but deadlines are deadlines, and I'll have a contend myself with the satisfaction of getting a job done well enough on time, rather than a job done perfectly.
No AI understands irony perfectly, and even the most basic criticism are hard (“Thank you for the hair in my soup!“, ”Good riddance TelCo!”) However, it is irony because it's a minority use; words change their meaning if you use them too much in a different sense. This makes comparing the amount of both corpuses a crude, but relevant approach.

For client work, I personally prefer to look at the length, and extend of vocabulary (Zipf rank, excluding misspellings, argumentative keywords) of the comments, because it's not really positive vs. negative as much as useless (praises or attacks) vs. arguments (usable criticism vs. structured defense) that matters on the long run.

For relationship studies, I’d rather look into private messages and delay to respond (with, in Facebook case, a clear explanation that Scientist had no access to actual information, or even individual meta-data) than content.
(Just a clarification on your example, I have no argument to make whether private entities should have restrictions placed on them.)

The New Saigon initiative would be deemed by courts to have sufficient nexus with State power such that they act as an extension of state themselves. Such institutions and charter aren't uncommon in US. Most school districts are governed usually by kind of law you outlined. Under settled law, public schools act as arm of government, thus have same restriction on them as any other governmental entity has.

And before you come up with more contrived example, one has to keep in mind that laws are enforced by judges, who can usually see past complicated structure to determine what would be extension of government and what would not be.
That's different then, I agree. I read your original comment as if you're tasked with something and then expect to be blamed for it.
Just quietly this article has been around since 2003.. Its still an extremely useful resource, and FYI, chrome on android renders this page just fine. To further on that sentiment, coming from someone posting on hacker news I find your comment amusingly ironic.

The U.S. is somewhat idiosyncratic in classifying melatonin as not being a drug at all, but rather a dietary supplement, akin to natural/alternative-health stuff like St John's wort, fish-liver oil, or the various herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore it doesn't even get to the prescription vs. OTC decision, since dietary supplements are basically unregulated, as long as they don't make medical claims on the label or in advertising.
This article, and the followup Part 2 are AWESOME. The author clearly thought about the problem a lot (good insight) and comes up with a good description of the mechanics of what is going on.

Yes.

I have one of those with DD-WRT as well. A vuln in a router will only affect DD-WRT as well if it's a hardware vuln that allows (for example) corrupting/modifying memory, which would also make the attack need to be highly targeted, or a critical 0day in the linux kernel/dropbear, etc.

If you dont have a blog I think you should blog some stories from those days. I'd be really interested to hear them.
If you scroll down to the bottom, there's a changelog describing some changes applied during 2003-2011, and then "Copyright 1999-2014", which might give a few clues about how old the document is.
Why do you think you even have a 'prime'? The concept of a "prime" period in your life is entirely relative to the context of any given situation in your life at a specific point in time.

Shift your thinking to the present, don't pine over the past or worry about the future. At any given moment, you are capable of being the best you can be for the situation you are in. These are the variables you can control - so control them. And frankly, the older you get, the more capable of handling the present you become due to experience.

"Somehow I still need to find a passion and change"
Why?
What are you doing that you need to change?
What do you mean by "passion" and why do you need to find it?
What are you doing that is preventing you from finding your "passion"?

I'm not asking these questions for my benefit - ask them of yourself. And most importantly, follow through on the answers. There is absolutely no reason to be depressed about being in your 40's - you have double the experience and way more resources now then you did when you were 20.

Put it another way, you have another 20 years until you are in your sixties, and that's when you will REALLY be out of energy.
Controlling climate via human actions requires far more than simply postulating that Doppler radar works. A huge number of mathematically unproven simplifications are performed when going from Navier-Stokes to GCM models, in addition to a number of known to be false assumptions (e.g., anisotropic viscosity of water). A large number of assumptions are thrown into GCM models for parameters that are unknown.

Admitting the possibility that god (or god-like beings) exists does not require throwing away belief in empirical reality. See, for example, simulation theories.

In any case, my reasoning is merely a continuity argument. TheEzEzz asserted that the very small probability of Christianity and Anti-Christianity, and Islam+Anti-Islam cancel exactly. I'm asserting that if the distributions are continuous then this has probability 0 - it takes a ridiculously tiny amount of evidence or an infinitesimally different prior to put you back into Pascal's wager territory.
As an ex-journalist I'm really envious of Krebs' sources and understanding of this space. I also think his background as a journalist (reporting and writing skills) might have allowed him to be far more effective than many others in the space with comparable technical skills.
In the world of sales, for the most part you make a sale or you don't. With programming, you can tackle the problem in many ways. There's no easy way to measure quality. If you pay just for getting the job done, you're encouraging programmers to complete more tasks faster which would lead to poor quality code, endangering the health of the company as a whole.

I still can't imagine anyone obeying hijackers anymore. If someone got up on a plane and said he had a bomb, I'd be running toward him to knock him down and incapacitate (ideally, by killing) before he'd even stopped with his announcement. I'm pretty sure on most US airlines I'd be blocked by a bunch of other passengers doing the same thing.

9/11 really screwed things for hijackers.

(EDIT: appears it was the co-pilot, and the reinforced door installed after 9/11 actually allowed him to keep the real pilot out! So at least it wasn't an EgyptAir 990 situation either...)

Maybe we're thinking of different things here. What I had in mind was more along the lines of for instance choosing Go or Scala instead of Rails or *.js and getting a 10x speedup at the cost of simply adding a few type declarations. There are situations like yours where deadlines leave little choice, but there are also situations where a bit more leeway is available.

From my point of view, you haven't worked with good designers at all.

In many companies designers are required to work with analysts to improve ROI of their products.

You're entirely right, and it's not just browsers. Your statement about 'user agents' was the better one.

(what used to be urllib2), the list goes on. I don't believe I've ever seen a HTTP client library that doesn't do 301 method conversion.
Right, but "by courts" means "by our courts." It doesn't suppose that a different system might have different boundaries, right?

Here in Indonesia, for example, there's no civil marriage. A marriage is not legally valid unless it is also a religious marriage. Obviously that wouldn't be appropriate in the States, but I would be annoyed if Americans were to say that had to be changed.

This all matters a great deal because we are talking about cross-cultural critiques here and the argument over whether it is a problem that India doesn't draw the same lines as the US.

You are assuming a benevolent advertiser that uses knowledge about you in a way that is aligned with your long-term interests.

If we assume that a white noise advertising is less effective than a targeted advertising then it is in the interest of most people to prefer the former because a benevolent advertiser is a rare bird in real life.
