There are very many products that are complete nutrition sources.

The fact that the manufacturers fear the regulators enough to slap disclaimers on the products and to carefully differentiate between over the counter product and specialist medical product should give Soylent users paise for thought.

From the little experience I have with HTTPSB, I'd say that it was more of a NoScript alternative. It feels to me like a webbrowser firewall. They seem to have moved into the adblocking field now though. Here's how I see it:

* Adblock (Plus): Blocking ads, No / minimal user action required

* NoScript: Blocking scripts. Lots and lots of user action required.

* Ghostery: Block privacy intrusions. Basically an application-level firewall for the browser. In a normal firewall, you'd block e.g. port 80 from IP x.x.x.x. In an appliction firewall you simply block, for instance, bittorrent traffic. Minimal user interaction required, and where it is required, it's very easy to use.

* HTTPSB: A low-level web browser firewall ("block port 80 from IP x.x.x.x) that now also does (better) adblocking. The adblocking is on par with Adblock (plus): no user action required. The browser "firewall" is basically unusable. Lots of user interaction required, and when it is required, it's basically impossible to understand.
I don't share your hope, but oh yes. That'd be amazing. Currently it's a usability nightmare and entirely unclear who can reach you and who cannot.

As someone without Hangout or G+ people with a @gmail.com suffix might or might not be able to contact me, sometimes depending on the age of their mobile or whether they use GMail at this particular moment.

I hope you are right and I'm wrong.
>> Also, it's kind of silly to say war against an oppressor, or for independence is good, without realizing that without an oppressor, it would not be necessary in the first place.

That is patently false. An oppressor may be an oppressor in absence due to resource scarcity and competition. They may not directly oppress the societal group attempting to take action against the perceived oppression.

Also, oppression is not war. War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is generally characterised by extreme violence, social disruption and economic destruction. War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence or intervention.

You are wrong to say that war exists because of oppressors. I made the point that not all war is negative because sometimes it challenges oppression.

I did say that the wealth creation issue is too complex. It is you who said it was not - I am waiting for your evidence that war destroys more wealth than it creates.

Anything else is just obfuscation to divert.

I don't have a full or easy answer to that myself yet.

Real value (as opposed to financial value) is created by re-structuring your environment to provide more useful services.

A huge problem with existing economic theory is the failure to account for stock depletion in natural resources (there are other problems, but that's a biggie). So while you can convert stuff in the ground to cash in hand, what you haven't done is to increase your total wealth. You've exchanged your physical stock for financial purchasing power.

You can use those stocks to create more value, but in the case of energy tend to consume it in the process (materials can often be recycled).

You can look at the economic value created by a quantity of energy -- I've done some exploration of this in terms of $billion GDP/quad (quadrillion BTU energy) or $/barrel: http://redd.it/1vlksg

One way of considering a barrel of oil is in how much economic benefit you get from it. In various countries:

US: $1022

China: $528

Japan: $1678

Syria: $498

Egypt: $441

India: $493

Germany: $1465

UK: $1586

Switzerland: $2792

Mali: $4425

Note that industrialized nations tend to get $1000+ per barrel, nonindistrialized ones (Mali excepted) $400-500 or so. Oil's been running around $100 - $120/bbl the past couple of years.

That means the US sees about $9 in returns for each dollar spent on oil, Switzerland nearly $27. Mali sees a large nominal return, but both its GDP and oil consumption are minuscule.

Egypt's in much worse shape: $3.41 in returns per oil dollar spent. India's slightly better ($3.93), China a bit above that ($4.82). But all are running on pretty thin margins. Increased oil prices will push a lot of marginal uses out of reach, and likely shrink their economies markedly. Note that Egypt and Syria in particular are two nations undergoing pronounced unrest -- and which have also recently gone from net exporters to importers of oil. This is a transition described by the Export-land model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Land_Model).

Yes, increasing your efficiency of energy use is one way to increase wealth, but accessing more (or cheaper) energy is another route. You don't have to be more efficient.

I'm not one of the critical mass folks. I'm a slow roller, which seems to be the opposite of critical mass. We rider later after traffic, starting at 7:30. We break up our group of riders into small ones so cars don't have to wait a super long time. And instead of any kind of militant attitude we just roll with good vibes, talking with cars, waving at kids encouraging folks to join us.

It's hard not to smile when confronted by such a group.
> Currently it's a usability nightmare and entirely unclear who can reach you and who cannot.

Yes! Exactly this. I had started working on a Prosody server side plugin that would route messages for Hangouts users through a Google Account if they were on Hangouts instead of old-Gtalk, but the details of detection seemed flaky at best. When I have some time, I'll give it another look by examining the User-Agent the client sends. I'm not hopeful, but I guess there's a chance.
I actually did that, I disabled the wp-cron function and switched to crontab.
I am currently monitoring the server to see if this helps or if the issue is somewhere else.

Thanks for the suggestion!

> the goal of Snapsearch is to allow the possibility of going full steam ahead with heavy javascript, and not having to worry about trying to make it all compatible with non-js clients like search engines.

The same people who can't build websites in a progressively enhanced way are the same ones that also can't get other fundamental concepts working properly, like:

* Using HTTP URLs in links (or even, using anchor elements as links)

* text-equivalents for non-text content

* not relying on colour to convey content

* Using appropriate semantic structure to mark up content.

There's not much that can be done to save a developer at that point. The best your tool can do is expose more inferior/low-quality content to a search engine (inaccessible in terms of Perceivability, Operability and Usability - since your solution only deals with the Robustness principle of accessibility), after it has been safely constrained inside a JavaScript-mandated environment.

When JavaScript dependency becomes an acceptable starting point, semantic structure, and good markup principles get dumped just as quickly, because they are interdependent.
By that logic, we shouldn't have done anything about pop-up windows with ads either? Yet we did, and the world was a little bit better for it. Naturally advertisers, being the sneaky shits they are, didn't learn their lessons and are now repeating the same tactics with javascript/html5 overlays. When those become too annoying, we will find a way around those too, and the world will keep on running.

To me, it's simple economics. If their contents is worth it, they'll find a way to monetize it. If they can't find a way to monetize it, then the contents wasn't worth it.

I nearly flagged your recent submission from adventureplaybook.com:

"Adventure destinations that slip through the cracks"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7762095

From the submission title I figured it was just the usual travel spam,
but after looking over the site and not finding you selling anything, I
left it unflagged. I only visited the site to make sure it was spam
before flagging, so it was a close call.

Though adventuring sure sounds like fun, unfortunately, I'm not in your
target demographic.

I really don't know how to reach your desired demographic other than the
obvious methods (SEO, A-B testing, cross-promotion with related
sites/services, contributing to related forums, gathering email
addresses of interested people for mailings, ... and just about
everything else patio11 regularly tells people to do).

What kinds of things have you tried so far?

We might shut down an intersection for 2-4 minutes while riders roll through the intersection. The corkers or people who block the intersection are instructed to be nice and apologize for delays and to encourage drivers to join us.

We roll at 7:30 which is well after traffic dies down and we do as much as possible to be respectful, like leaving a lane open so cars can pass us.

It's not like that. A long time ago (2005?) there was an extension for Firefox called "Adblock". Eventually the development of this extension died, and it got forked with the name "Adblock Plus" in 2006 or so.

The Adblock you're referring to (the Chrome-only extension, right?) was published in 2009. As you can see, Adblock Plus predates it by 3 years or so.

I hadn't heard of Slow Roll. They might be better at handling traffic than the one Critical Mass ride I saw. They had several thousand riders going through a roundabout. It looked spontaneous as they had no detours posted, and a few cars were stuck in the loop for about an hour. They ride at the same time each (week? month?) so I just remember to not drive through that part of downtown on Fridays in the summer.

Really, though, I've looked into similar things, and can't understand how they're able to do it next to a police precinct without posting detours and without being fined or traffic controlled. But, it's Detroit. There are probably 10 cops covering downtown at any time, and they might not have the resources to police traffic on a Friday evening.

That said, I'm actually interested in this. Did you guys have to go through city hall and set up the detour routes and get permission from the affected businesses to lay down your route? The city I tried to set something up in would have allowed it, but there was a lot of paperwork and it was smaller than an organized ride.

This juxtaposition doesn't make sense.
If the "dynamic UI" can't be done in a progressively enhanced way, why can it work in a gracefully degrading post-hoc way?

The main point of your software is that the output proves that progressive enhancement was the correct way to build the website in the first place.
It's possible to achieve quite secure group chats in XMPP, as long as you have a server that you trust (emphasis on that last part). You're probably talking about OTR though, which is quite tricky for multi-party situations.

This isn't XMPP's or OTR's fault - from a high level to have a secure multi-party discussion, every participant must individually verify every other participant. This creates a lot of overhead with large groups. What you can do instead is to delegate your trust to, say, a key member of the group - if they trust every member, so do you. This is the model that XMPP supports. Set up a server that only accepts encrypted and securely-authenticated connections (using whichever mechanism you have the most faith in) and only grant access to the room to trusted individuals.

This device will do great clearing out mosquitoes from your backyard but don't think for a second that this will save lives or help solve the global malaria problem.

This is a great device for eliminating mosquitoes from stagnant water but it is completely impractical that it would work in the areas where malaria hurst the most. [1]

Firstly, it would require that every single puddle be discovered immediately. Try doing that after monsoon season in India, or in rural West Africa where malaria is one of the main killers of children under the age of five and where the roads are so bad you can't even get a truck loaded with food in, let alone these devices.

If these did make it into some of these rural villages, every single one would be picked up off the ground immediately and be converted into something that really could improve the quality of life, into something that might power lights or charge cell phones or be sold to someone who could.
