We tried keeping the issue to only publishers, but basically MCNs and other cuts were just grouped into publisher for simplicity sake -- oftentimes YouTubers join networks (kind of like a music label) where the rights of their works are managed for a cut. As to your point, YES, definitely YouTubers can and do publish entirely original work, but oftentimes still need to publish covers, or video game gameplay, etc. that they don't have the rights to -- this is usually the only way to grow their audience and channel, as these are the only works that garner any real SEO when people are searching for videos.
I am very sorry, but making a creator $0.0001 on average ($100/10^6) is literally not worth turning adblock off and having 20% chance to get a 30 seconds of commercial.

Thanks. I am currently finishing up "Rails 4 in Action" and "Designing Hypermedia APIs," which I've both been working on for far too long. In this sense, I don't mind that Rust isn't ready for a full book. ;)

I am not entirely sure that 'idiomatic Rust' is something that's fully figured out yet. Rust itself is _certainly_ not idiomatic, as it's a hodge-podge of several historical coding styles.

As I said when I spoke at the Bay Area Meetup, my position in Rust is 'eternal newbie,' so I'm not actually the best one to ask here. Maybe pcwalton can chime in.
Also, I think the mods changed the title -- my original submission title was "Just released an infographic on how YouTubers don't make that much $$ from ads" -- I'm not going for linkbait here :)

I agree with what you're saying.

I didn't mean to deride him at all. I was deriding the meme that is being promoted in the press that makes it sounds like someone with nothing suddenly created and released an app that suddenly sold for 19B.

His story is absolutely to be applauded. If he was on food stamps as a kid then indeed he "had nothing". For me the great success of his story is that initial bit nobody is talking about, going from a kid on food stamps, to an engineer at Yahoo. That is the amazing story I wish we would be talking about more. That's the story that real, everyday kids could actually have a hope of duplicating. Not the 19B sale to Zuck.

He didn't go from nothing -> 19B. He went from nothing -> Yahoo -> 19B...

The better story to tell is that he went from nothing -> Yahoo
I think there should be some discussion about setting up a SIPC equivalent for Bitcoin exchanges. Each exchange/operator contributes dues that provide a fund for compensating losses in the event of a member's insolvency. That would also provide a strong incentive to for members cry fowl about bad practices, self-audit, etc.

> Why? There is no English equivalent and it represents a concept that is a well known phenomenon which has been subjected to scientific studies.

Psychological studies of the kind you're referring to aren't scientific. To be valid science, a study must test a theory, an explanation, but the class of studies to which you refer only describe. Sort of like saying, "The night sky is filled with little points of light," and calling it astronomy.

I am a big fan of Social Media Examiner. They know how to make people keep coming back with content that's relevant and from a lot of quality guest bloggers. I especially appreciate their aggregation articles where they either provide a summary of helpful online tools or best practices. Efficient use of my time.
And with little reason for the local navy to not come in guns blazing.
I can sort of see this for physics but what if it's programming or software in general. I wouldn't be able to tell if someone is good if they were describing something to me in F#, as an example. They could be going about it the wrong way.

What if someone was really onto something and they were describing it to you. They might be trying to explain it as simply as they possibly can and you might think you understand, but a lot could be lost and your impression might be that, that person is not good at what they are doing or that it's a toy.

It all comes down to good communication but I think overall, we learn more over more time. I get that there is a time constraint with the current approach so maybe to scale things there should be some sort of engine that processes people/teams from a watch list over a period of time. For example, mine data from a private YC journal that applicants can start writing in a year or six months in advance. I don't think that should be a problem since a lot is submitted in the applications (my basic understanding of the process).
That's certainly been discussed many times. It's an interesting concept. The main downside though is that if each site has its own renderer, with no shared concepts like the current web has, then you lose out on things like easily making accessibility tools, web scraping, etc. etc.

The benefits are also clear though, basically not being limited to current standards.
I honestly have no idea what all of that does. I'm sure I could work my way through it, but still... in other languages you can get a glimpse of the purpose of a program even if you don't know the syntax. You can tell whether it is a parser, a game, a Hello World, or a web application.

The other thing I dislike besides the opaqueness of Haskell is what another commenter described as "mechanically filling in" of code. I get that feeling every time I try strongly typed functional languages. I had the same feeling when I started with C++ and stuggled with `const`. I had an idea in my head, but couldn't convert it to code because the compiler didn't allow it. Instead of helping me, the syntax slowed me down, took me out of the "flow". It rarely, if ever, helped me avoid bugs. Now, I've probably learned avoidance strategies, and rarely have problems with `const` anymore. Haskell gives me that old feeling of programming in a straightjacket, multiplied by 1000.

Your advice for specifying that he give an explanation for his edit generally goes above what most people do when they edit posts.

So I am assuming you are probably someone who applies that same sensitibility to writing descriptive commit messages, because similarly to people editing Internet posts/comments without specifying what they changed, many people leave very vague or meaningless commit messages.
You could say 'fail' instead of 'not succeed'.
That's not a slight difference, that's a fundamental difference. Lacking a promise of a positive return and lacking a fake investment opportunity, no fraud can be classified as a Ponzi; it's simply fraud or theft. There's absolutely nothing Ponzi like about this Gox situation; nothing. Ponzi's require both of those elements, they are the definition of what a Ponzi is.

From Google:

Ponzi Scheme: a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise (the definition) is fostered(i.e. the mechanism) by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.

Many valid things use the mechanism of new money paying out earlier investors; that alone is meaningless and not a defining trait of Ponzi's. All insurance also does this. A ponzi is literally "a form of fraud carried out by the belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise"; that's it.
This is exactly it: a beacon just announces itself and provides its ID. It's up to an app on the receiving device to listen for the beacons it cares about and react to them.

The beacon has no way of knowing which devices are listening or are in range of the beacon so there's no privacy issues I can think of.

There's a garbage collector, and the symbolic structure of the language makes it quite effective. You can also manually control the memory manager, one nice feature of Mathematica is how exposed it is.

Your website mentions that Superhost will examine your "message history and other resources" in order to effectively speak on behalf of the property owner. Can you be more specific about what kind of data would be useful to Superhost?

What kind of experience does the Superhost team have with property management?

How are you planning on providing support (such as how to operate appliances etc.) to guests during their stay? Is there an FAQ of sorts that you'll have an owner fill out so Superhost can answer those questions on the owner's behalf?

Hi - Urban Bellhop is a different service like others that were mentioned here.

I'm glad to hear we agree completely.

The study helps figure out the severity and seriousness of the problem. There are wide range of treatments, from lifestyle changes to extended treatment with drugs, maintenance drugs and surgery. There is no one treatment that applies to everyone and study helps make a much better informed decision about treatment options. Too much acid reflux can result in lining deterioration, perforation or even cancer in esophagus. Based on study results, doctors can recommend the checkup frequency for esophagus too.

Hope this helps clarify why such studies are performed. I look at such studies as data-driven decision making.
Looks like it's because they packaged a ton of other security patches with this update, too. See:

Okey, this is a question to the parent of the comment I reply to. (I couldn't reply to tel for some reason).

Do you have any example were the documentation available is only scientific or technical papers? I've been learning Haskell for a year now, and even though I've read some papers due to interest I've never felt like it was the only form of documentation.
So the story goes:

The new Russian President found a note in the desk of the old Russian President, "To my successor: When you find yourself in a hopeless situation which you cannot escape, open the first letter, and it will save you. Later, when you again find yourself in a hopeless situation from which you cannot escape, open the second letter."

A few months later, there was a massive problem. The new Russian President opened the first letter, which said, "Blame it all on me." He did. It worked great.

A little bit later, there was another massive problem. The new Russian President opened the second letter, which said, "Sit down, and write two letters."

I feel like this is the Bitcoin community collectively blaming the old Russian President. (Never mind the inherent flaws in the system.)

I think it's more likely that both were in the pipeline, and QA finished iOS 7.0.6 first - last week, and QA for 10.9.2 was slated to finish this week. So do you hold it or not?

Is it more critical to have 4 days of protection, or 4 days of "WTF is Apple incompetent" press?
It was the poor fleeing a shithole of a country where they were being oppressed, to America, where they were poor but had a chance, and then going from poor to less poor to well off to supermegarich.

i.e., the American Dream, post-1998 edition. I suspect the jump from "Nazis might kill me" to "poor in America" was roughly the same jump as "poor in America to working in technology" and from "Yahoo! to founding my own company". The founding-my-own-company to sold-to-Facebook was probably the smallest actual jump in subjective quality of life.
I didn't say it was super-reliable. Or that I trust my contracts to work. But it certainly has been enough for my needs. Despite a lot of years in business, I've never felt a need for extra-judicial enforcement.

Without this bug, they wouldn't be able to use BofA's own certificate to do it.

> But it's completely unacceptable that those mistakes get unnoticed and into production code of such a critical component, and deployed to millions of users.

The handling has been abysmal as well. They dropped a 0-day on themselves by releasing the iOS update, and then delayed the fix by several days, apparently so they could release it along with the Facetime integration.

And even then they don't mention it on the release notes![0] If you look at the release notes for this update, you'd have no idea how important this is, if you didn't already know.

I believe that the recent NSA revelations are the primary reason this bug is so concerning. We already know that the US government has access to the majority of packets being routed across the US, and this bug makes it trivial to decrypt those originating from Apple devices.

I like the article overall, however I disagree with "not promoting" people on gradual growth path. On one hand the author recommends frequent one-on-ones to ask what people want, on the other hand she advises to make career decisions for the engineers assuming they dont want or need promotion.

I think it's not true and is a common misconception in the engineering-business relationship. It's always good to ask, but don't assume too much. They may want a promotion, just not in a job title kind of sense.
I feel like these people took a lot of wrong lessons from this process, effectively interpreting lessons in terms of their own confirmation bias. Every single one of their three great engineers was hired based on establishing relationships with skilled folks, talking with them, and getting to know them as people. Lessons 2, 3, & 4? Not bad. Yet lesson 5? Grind their bones to dust with the most awful of modern hiring concepts - which was used for exactly 0 of their initial "top-tier code ninja rockstar" hires. They talk about it being haphazard, but the quote about evaluating people based on your "full-of-shit-meter" is almost spot on.

Why do we keep insisting that hiring not be based on people?

If people are motivated, quality, self-learning staff, they'll pick up whatever language, or API, or widget you throw at them. And if they're crap, they're crap. All four hours of tech. grilling is going to tell you is that you won't have to spend a couple weeks at slightly lower efficiency while they code using a language reference, or looking on StackExchange, rather than doing it from memory. What it won't reveal is that they're lazy, they just memorized a bunch of common tests, they can't actually think, or can't solve fuzzy problems you don't know you'll have. If you want hammers, then go buy a hammer, but if we want people, then we should stop beating our heads against walls, and go hire people.

Paraphrasing of one of my favourite West Wing quotes:

There was a man that lived by the river. He heard a radio report that the river was going to rush up and flood the town. And that all the residents should evacuate their homes. But the man said, "I’m religious. I pray. God will save me."

The waters rose up. A guy in a row boat came along and he shouted, "Hey, hey you! You in there. The town is flooding. Let me take you to safety." But the man shouted back, "God will save me."

A helicopter was hovering overhead. And a guy with a megaphone shouted, "Hey you, you down there. The town is flooding. Let me drop this ladder and I’ll take you to safety." But the man shouted back that he prayed, and that God will save him.

Well...the man drowned. And standing at the gates, he said "I’m religious, I pray, I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?"

The response? "I sent you a radio report, a helicopter, and a guy in a rowboat. What the hell are you doing here?"
The iOS patch was released on Friday, so it was publicly known then at the latest. It's not particularly hard to exploit, so it seems entirely reasonable to think that people were exploiting it soon after.

How many Macs connected to Starbucks WiFi this weekend and had their e-mail and banking credentials lifted? If my hat were darker, I'd have been out there doing it for fun if nothing else.

The fact that it requires a MITM means you're fairly safe on a home connection, but there are lots of people out there on public WiFi who would be pretty vulnerable to this.

I really don't understand what the "gamble" is. What's the upside to waiting?
That means the patch worked.
You mean that will again be an 'after thought'?

Kirkpatrick: Zuck's Plan for Global Connectivity Is "Impressive and Amazing"
* Right now on the front page we have this article advocating letting people go, and another article warning how difficult it is to find and hire people. There is a bit of dissonance between the two, I find.*

A lot depends on the company. Are you a Whatsapp with 55 engineers and $19 billion in market capital? Or are you Accenture, with $300k (give or take) in market cap per employee? Each has a very different take on the value per employee, what they pay them, and where on the superstar versus superteam spectrum they are.

Overall a very good article. There are managers who clearly don't give a damn. They have to be Steve Jobs superstars to keep their people. On the flip side, you have to produce success to keep a team moving. I've had to replace managers who were well loved, but had angry clients due to a lack of results by their teams.
