But his point stands: jQuery is useful beyond DOM manipulation as a library. In one of my current side projects, all of the DOM is managed through React, but I'm still using (and loving!) jQuery for all the $.ajax stuff.
|More seriously and with (slightly) less snark, I'm always shocked when I surf the internet at work with no ad-blocker. Pop-ups, irritating garish backgrounds, "content" plastered everywhere, and of course, annoying video ads. Its like a bad episode of Futurama; some horrible dystopian disfigurement of the internet.

As the CPM (money you receive per thousand views of an ad) of internet ads has plummeted over the years, sites are resorting to larger and more annoying ads because they pay better.

|And the other thing that gets me is why don't government/private business install ad-blockers by default?

Ad-blockers are a legal grey area. You are costing the service provider valuable resources without giving back anything in return.
First full-stack web developer role @ Airware (W13)
We're looking for our first full-stack web developer to spearhead a new cloud initiative at Airware (YC W13).

As the first full-stack web developer, you’ll play a huge part in setting the stage for the back-end architecture of our cloud platform. You’ll be building a platform to store and process large amounts of data and manage many persistent connections. If you love building out large, scalable web applications and want to help bring some of the first and best commercial drones to the country, we want to hear from you. You can see our full job description and apply at the link below:

> I'd probably bet on Google putting Dropbox out of business with competition, then getting rid of Drive because it's no longer a growth area.

That's not too unlikely, if by "Drive" you mean the desktop sync application, which pretty clearly has always been pretty tangential to the strategic purpose of Drive, which is first and foremost a cloud storage platform for web apps (Google first-party apps, institutional customer second-party apps, and ISV third-party apps).
He specifically said he said he would be switching from Dropbox, and the privacy question isn't whether or not someone could hack Drive, but rather can he trust Google to not examine his files to better characterize him for targeted ads. Regardless of whether Drive or Dropbox is more secure from hackers or the NSA or whomever, Drive's business reason for existing is specifically so they can look at your files, whereas Dropbox's business reason for existing is so that you can give them money to store your stuff. Google can make these kinds of price cuts because the money people pay them for it is only a portion of the income they receive as a result of Drive.

I say that as someone who uses Drive instead of Dropbox because the balance of their respective pros and cons, for me personally, leans towards Drive. I've got no emotional attachment or aversion to either one.
If you use ViewHolder, consider using custom views instead:

It is incredible how much cleaner and readable my codebase is with custom views. And the performance is the same.
I'm skeptical that a packaged product like soylent would be able to compete in price with regular food. Their market, at least for now is going to be a) people who want a strict diet and b) people who would rather eat a milk shake than cook normal food.

I use channels to single-file data to a SQLite db. Data gets pushed into channels from multiple users / locations of the web app. A single goroutine (concurrently running function) reads from the channels one channel at a time and, for each channel, writes everything in the channel to the db in a single transaction. SQLite isn't the best at concurrency. Go's channels help resolve that issue nicely.
My base reading speed for most English-language books and other publications is about 500 words per minute, with good comprehension by test. I have never had any trouble at all finishing all the sections of a standardized test with time to spare, for example, whether the SAT or the GRE or the LSAT. There is a huge published literature on reading skills improvement, for readers of all levels of reading proficiency, and when I was in university I read many books about that topic, including some books that made incredible "speed-reading" claims, to see what I could do to improve my ability to finish my homework while working my way through my university courses. One distillation I have of all the advice I read is that it helps reading speed and comprehension a lot to improve vocabulary. English vocabulary improvement can build on studying common Greek, Latin, and French word roots that show up over and over in English words. Doing that seems to have done the most for my reading speed and comprehension, which was never bad in English. A book I recommend for vocabulary development is English Vocabulary Elements 2nd edition.[1] To bolster my reading speed in other languages, I've also had to focus on reading practice and acquiring reading vocabulary. In Chinese for foreign learners, the materials by the late John DeFrancis, his Chinese Reader series in beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels, are still the best available for that purpose, although they appear to be going out of print.

Thanks, I understand that better. I still think it's not a good argument; you seem to say that if they stopped caring about something there would be less trouble. That seems pure spinelessness.
Assuming you are talking about Live Analytics in particular:

One of the most common reasons this was requested was for events and product/feature launches. Some of our customers would launch a new product only to find out a day or two later that users were using different terminology or looking in the wrong places when searching for documentation or support. We are seeing content teams be able to adjust their copy in real time based on the search activity, which is pretty powerful.

There is also a lot of value in seeing a user's search activity while they are still on your website. We use Olark, so if someone isn't engaging with results/etc, we can guess at his/her intent and send them a message asking if they need help.
Why I Came New Music video exclusive The world has to see this
It doesn't matter where you see them, that's like saying that french and english are the same because they share some words. It's patterns that are particular to a certain community of developers, but of course, can come up in other languages.

This is an example of a node-ism,

if (err) { return err }
console.log("KEEP GOING")

Notice how we break from an error right away. As a Node developer, you may not use the pattern, but you're definitely aware of it. Someone with just JS, and let's be honest, jQuery, is not used to returning quickly if there is an error. Decorating and animating a UI is far more forgiving.

I's not about how long it takes to learn a certain module. It's about mitigating risk in building large web apps.

>The government and the Federal Reserve (yes, they are two distinct entities — not part of the same) have perverted the definition of something

This system is not internal to US. Most countries have more or less independent federal bank and similar system.

>Whatever money may be, ultimately, it is supposed to act as a store of value for your labor, ingenuity and good fortune.

This is outdated idea and source of much confusion. Yes,
money should act as reasonable store of value in short term. Money should not have store of value property that is better than alternatives. It should never be good investment. Money should be the most liquid asset, unit of account and medium of exchange before being long time store of value. Because contracts (including wages) are defied using money as unit of account, small inflation forces constant renegotiation of contracts. It's fluid in the gears of the economy. Store your value elsewhere. It's easy.

Money is just an asset. Theoretically, you can define money as the most liquid asset. Transition from money to other assets is fluid (different M's) based on them being money-like and there is nothing confusing in it unless you falsely assume that money should have some kind of magic substance that other assets don't have. Your car can be more money-like if you turn it into financial instrument by taking a loan against it.

The article raises an interesting point around banks and transaction charges. On one hand it is a benefit that BitCoins are not subject to the often spurious charges that Banks employ (anyone done an international wire transfer will probably know about the 'transmitting' bank charge ... which is basically a way for banks to shave an extra charge as far as I can see). However, it is the exclusion of these charges (and revenue/profit) by banks that will cause them to not only not adopt BitCoins but work actively to limit their reach and adoption. This will be a bigger battle ground than governments/central banks over the wide spread adoption of bitcoins.
> For example, offer people internally to take over Reader, spin it off and let it find a business model.

Reader was implemented on top of Google's huge internal infrastructure. "Spinning it off" would be equivalent to re-writing it from scratch.

> At least it would have felt like they tried to honor their social contract.

I can't fathom the sense of entitlement in this sentence. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Googler, but my understanding is that Google gave you a high quality news reader for free for many years.

Google spent their own money to provide that to you. And when they eventually decide to stop burning their own money, somehow they've failed to live up to their end of some "contract"? What were the terms of this contract? What did the users offer in return?

Yeah, but those are a pretty small minority. A lot of apps have the courtesy check of "don't download songs (photos/videos, whatever) until you're on WiFI". At some point an app has to assume it's safe to download assets, and when you're on WiFi is a pretty safe assumption.
If this is the standard boilerplate, then standard needs to be changed :). Why a "pure" storage service needs to do following?

1. "reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content."

2. Why they should have data even after we stop using their Services?

Users may want just storage but no integration/lock-in with their services. Google can offer "opt-in/opt-out" mechanism from their services. Is n't it?
Ask HN: Peer to Peer trust?
Are there any current standards for peer to peer trust, so if a majority of your known friends trust a service you could too?

I have a problem with the security model of the current CA solutions. Evil governments could start an CA and issue fake MITM man in the middle certificates, or they could simply hack into an CA. Would it not be wiser to trust a majority of your friends and family rather than to trust an unknown certificate authority?

Why do you have to involve self signed certificates or CA certificates if you want to encrypt a service for a known friend?

> Ad-blockers are a legal grey area. You are costing the service provider valuable resources without giving back anything in return.

You could turn that argument on the head. When you're blocking ads, you're preventing advertisers from wasting money on you, as you wouldn't have bought anything anyways (for me, annoying online advertising actually lowers the perception of the brand). So, you're doing advertisers a favour by blocking the ads.

I looked at your graph, and I was wondering about that too. I'm no expert, but consider this.

Population growth is usually expected to be exponential. The fact that the graph looks linear we could interpret as a positive sign.

Also, if we check out the Earth's growth rate [1], the percentages have indeed slowed down. The left part (1965 - 1970) peaking at 2.10% looks like Generation X, the children of the baby boomers. The latest datum at 2012 returns 1.15%, and is still trending slightly negative.

The growth rate charts become more interesting as you isolate specific regions and countries. Sub-Saharan is the only region which is mostly trending positive [2]. Japan has received some press in recent years because its growth rate has actually crossed the x-axis[3] .

I think you will find that was OP's point.
The site seems to encourage questions with simple yes/no answers, and to solicit sentence- or paragraph-length blurbs from commenters. Furthermore, since comments aren't obviously linked to the opposing statements that evoked them, it's hard to get a sense of dialog (as opposed to a bunch of people stating their opinions in a void). How likely is a meaningful, balanced exchange of views to proceed from that?

Indeed, I already see some signs of behavior that could lead to flame wars. One question begins, "Seatbelt fines are a joke...", which hardly seems likely to create an atmosphere of balanced, thoughtful comments. One comment on whether parents should be allowed to drug children on long flights advocates making it mandatory. Another question seems to be predicated on a news story (should a family get $200k?), but the context of the question is completely missing.
Why We Scale Vertically: The Only Way Is Up
On the first, the implied assumption is that perceived corruption correlates reasonably well to actual. (I haven't proven)

Don't disagree with the general second statement. Sure, corruption can come about because of an unmet need. It's market forces at work when the market won't respond. But the implied point that the higher per capita income results in less met needs doesn't seem intuitively obvious, since purchasing power often rises at near parity with PC Income. Several places perceived as corrupt on this list actually have better purchasing power per (money unit) than the US.
That's more Heroku style. I get the impression that DO is for those WITH Linux-foo.

I believe corruption and poverty have a circular cause-effect relationship. Corruption causes poverty (by moving money into the pockets of the corrupt) and prevents people from raising economically, forcing many to become corrupt themselves (when your only option of making middle- or upper-class money are bribes and theft).

> Ad-blockers are a legal grey area. You are costing the service provider valuable resources without giving back anything in return.

If they want to guarantee what code runs on my computer, doing it via a web browser is not the way to go. There is no actual or implied contract between me and the site owner. Site owners have the option of detecting and blocking my adblock-using-traffic. It's not supremely difficult.
As a stats undergrad who's quite interested in this and has an active project going in the space, I think the main question here is what exactly are we trying to predict? Is the sole purpose of analytics to "rate this player relative to others"?

I think one of the things slowing down hockey analytics is the focus on finding a "new Corsi". In Baseball, given the game is segmented and the people who score points do so in a single action by themselves, it makes sense to have one metric that measures how much a players scores/their value. In hockey, maybe other types of analysis would be more accurate. What about predicting scoring rates (for/against)? Or the probability of winning particular games? Or simulation models of game outcomes? None of these things will give you a +/- type rating of a particular player - but they could be more accurate and potentially just as useful.
I can't say if this is generalizable, but it certainly hurts my enjoyment of fiction. I read a metric shitton of fiction. I used to read fiction professionally, in fact. I remain a very slow fiction reader, at least subjectively, based on my assessment of my friends', peers', and family members' fiction-reading speeds. But speed isn't really the point when I read fiction.

Speed reading has its place, but I will never comprehend the desire to apply speed reading to pleasure reading. Those two goals, speed and pleasure, seem orthogonal at best to me.

Speed reading is all well and good when you have more on your desk than you can handle, and you need to get the gist of everything quickly. It's a triage technique.

Amazon S3/Glacier don't just provide some random cloud storage, but availability from specific locations, guaranteed bandwidth/rate, detailed logging, API, etc.

While Google Drive might be an interesting place to just store "some stuff", it's not really comparable for any larger scaled application.

I'm not sure what bandwidth Google Drive provides, but looking at Dropbox, I'd never want to serve any customer with that "crappy" < 1 MiB/s speed. It's okay for all the small changes Dropbox is designed for, but for serving as public storage space, it's not really acceptable.
You mean like Comcast, Unwired, Sonic, MegaPath, DSL Extreme, Covad, and AT&T?

I'm not sure those you refer to as Google breaking a "social contract" with would be better off with a sorta-Google-sorta-startup-reader. It seems like Reader shutting down was great for the startup ecosystem, and they made it really easy for that to happen. I don't know of a compelling argument to choose Reader over that.
It seems like this continues to push forward and tries to be a real product, but there are two things wrong with it. 1) outside of a really small group of people (unless I'm mistaken?), it doesn't seem like there's any demand for it and 2) it has one of the worst product names I've ever heard of.
