But these details do matter when you want to achieve maximum performance and they also matter when you want to figure out what went wrong with the device when it fails.

The hiding the happens currently in the block interfaces (HDD, SSD & NVMe) definitely allow for easy integration and let things work pretty good for most cases but prevent getting full performance from the device and also obstruct diagnostics when things fail.
Over the past few years it's become really striking to me how dangerous it is when people attach their hopes re: a larger cause to a sensational story and let confirmation bias seep in.

You saw it here with Erdely letting her crusade against campus rape (an admirable goal, obviously) draw her into an outlandish story rather than reporting on a less-sexy but more representative account, you saw it in Ferguson where people tied their (valid) desire to eliminate discriminatory policing to the now-debunked "hands up don't shoot" narrative, you saw it in the Ellen Pao case where a large contingent of women tied their (valid/desirable) aspirations for gender equality in the workplace to a flimsy/exceedingly nuanced case when there are undoubtedly a bunch of open-and-shut gender discrimination cases.

In a click/cause-driven media environment, it behooves us to critically examine sources' leanings and blind spots upfront since it's become clear many can't do so themselves.
I'm not a party to the contract between the advertiser and the content provider. In principle, I don't necessarily even have an expectation that a given content provider uses advertising revenue to support the provision of their content — they may use a subscription-based revenue model, and offer some number of "free" page views per day/week/month/whatever, as a teaser to encourage new subscriptions. They may just have stupendously deep pockets and like providing that content out of the goodness of their hearts.

Whatever; doesn't matter.

To make the leap from "I chose to view that page" to "I chose to view the ads on that page" is specious and unsupported, and I'm under no obligation whatsoever to enter into an agreement between two other parties on the basis that they happen to have a standing agreement.

To suggest otherwise is tantamount to suggesting that because I chose to walk down a specific street at a specific time, I somehow also chose to see a specific dude taking a specific dump.

I can promise you, I didn't. Just as with ads on the web, however, my consent is apparently not a factor in this equation.

(Why, yes, I do live in San Francisco. How ever did you guess?)

EDIT: And, yes, before you judge or jump to conclusions: I do have paid, auto-renewing subscriptions on subscription-model websites, and I use ad and tracker blocking plugins. It's not my fault that some of the sites I view have chosen (what I think are) shitty revenue models.

I'm not sure anyone's that worried about the ad companies - they go bust, less ads, win. It's a shame though when creators like Gigaom go.
> Am I the only one who reads it this way, and thinks there still is a story even as the article was written?

Well, if you read the full report that came out today, then it is clear that there was at least one other major problem in the story. It said that the university did a poor job of handling rape accusations, cared more about its reputation, and so forth. But that turned out to be wrong.

Specifically, the report details how the university president and other officials were barred from discussing cases for legal reasons - confidentiality of students and various other federal statutes. What to the reporter seemed like a coverup or negligence, was in fact doing their proper diligence as per the law.

Furthermore, the report mentions that several rape survivors they talked to (in the course of making the report) said that UVA had good policies in place for handling rape cases. They have good resources to give to survivors, and they do care about them. Somehow Rolling Stone missed those.
I don't think that's necessarily the argument. Rather, the argument is that it's okay to fight back.

No, thank you! I nearly hit the roof when I saw it had over 14K views on Instructables (I thought it was an April fools prank) when I checked earlier this evening. In fact it's now up to 16K+, thats 2K views in only a few hours, it took me 2+ weeks to get that kind of viewership when I originally posted it.

As for the protocol, so far Tesla isn't using much standard stuff, everything from the connector to the codes is proprietary, not surprising considering that they aren't starting from a legacy platform (like Chevy, Ford, Toyota). Frankly I'm more of a hardware guy then an infosec expert, so the communication protocols seem a bit abstract to me (got to do some more reading), however, from what I've gathered based on jobs postings and forum chatter on TMC (Tesla Motors Club) Tesla might have worked with Vector group to implement CANOpen, but thats purely speculation at this point.

If you are interested in helping decode the bus or getting a closer look at the protocols used, just let me know and I will send you an email with more details. Many hands make light work as they say.
The content creator gets paid by the ad company for showing you the ad, the ad company gets paid if you click on it.

With that in mind, there is a net-positive outcome for the ad-company if users who aren't going to click on the ads use ad-block, because that means they don't have to pay the content creator for showing ads that nobody clicked on. They only miss possible profit if you're using ad-block but would have clicked on an ad were it presented to you, which is unlikely considering ad-block is generally opt-in. Depending on the ratio of how much they make per-click vs. how much they pay the content-creator per ad, they could definitely come-out with more money due to users using ad-block and not requiring them to pay the content creator when they wouldn't have clicked on the ad anyway.
The full report mentions that her lawyer told her not to talk to them, when they asked her for comment. So she has a lawyer, possibly because she is being sued, or anticipating being sued.

Any lawsuit would not be filed until today anyhow - this report is a major piece of information.
A pro designer isn't going to ask for any of those things (but bad clients will). There's no reason to confuse users with unique UI designs per page. That's just bad UX.
rough weekend?
Unless the people who use ad-blockers get in the habit of paying for content--and they won't, because why pay for what you can free-ride for?--this would be a disaster. Immediately actionable ads are only a slice of the advertising market; the point of advertising is not to sell you something now. It is to eventually sell you something. Both brand and market reinforcement advertising are major players.

Advertising creates demand and establishes brand awareness in potential consumers who may develop (either directed or otherwise) demand in the future.
even on impact... pretty cool way to go!
Song, you are the best.
To continue said yelling, a point that I haven't noticed mentioned on here yet - since when do consumers get to decide how much they pay for a service? Or how? If I want to sell you x for y - we don't live in a society where you get to decide what y is, or how to pay it. I think capitalism is dumb - therefore I won't pay in money but I will pay in labor I do for you. And you have no choice in the matter. I will take your hamburger and be in your house at 8am sharp. I will rake your leaves. Your yard will be the envy of the whole neighborhood. This is my anarchism. I will inflict it upon you, you cursed content publisher.
You think users want the browser window scroll to change color / shape / width per web page? Wouldn't that get confusing?
We would simply not have many of the greatest web companies today if it was not because of ads. It's one solution that works and works really well. To call it immoral is to ignore everything that it has given us. You can complain about the annoyances of it and rightly so, but if you are going to bring in morality, first you must consider and imagine an internet or world without some of the most beloved businesses in it. I don't believe in a consequentialist argument either that just because something good comes out of an immoral thing then it justifies it given the benefits outweigh the harms. I would agree with you if that were true. I simply disagree with the assertion that ads are immoral or immoral to the extend that you seem to imply, I'd argue they're more of annoyance than anything else. And the burden of proof is really on you to tell us why ads are immoral since you're the one making the assertion, so far I haven't seen that, and until then or until when we find an alternative, ads are here to stay, and rightly so if I may say.

As someone closer to 55 than 25, allow me to let you know just how fast those decades are about to fly past.

I'm 44 now.

When 55 is thirty years away, it seems like "not having to worry about money" is a realistic goal. When it gets closer, you start to notice that most people still do have to worry about it, all their lives.
The only difference is that you get better about being at peace with the idea, and letting life be good even if you do have to look at your bank balance regularly.

The one practical piece of advice I'd like to offer, if I may be so bold, is this. If you want to live a life like that in 30 years, make sure that every day you ask yourself "what can I do today to get me one step closer to my goal?"
The reason I said only light / dark is that it's easy for users to understand. Remember: these guys are asking to change the UI of the browser on a per web page basis. That kind of customization doesn't help anyone.
Crawling the service doesn't make it more expensive for anyone. The price is already set, and the marginal cost of serving a document is practically zero. Congrats on being able to spend $2.60 without thinking about it, but not everyone is so fortunate. If you cannot understand why this is problematic, you are simply small-minded. Not only does this system erect an economically regressive barrier between the proceedings of the judiciary and the public, it precludes analysis of the judicial system through a wider lens and the utilization of statistical analysis and other big data technologies.
FacePay?
I blame things like todomvc, which I think is great in spirit, but a huge menace in practice. It gives people false hope that framework x will solve all their ills. Any SPA that is more than trivial requires engineering skills. Additionally, it is likely that you'll be building said SPA with a team of developers who have varying skill levels. From my experience, a framework should provide a certain amount of level-setting (as opposed to something that is 100% custom) for new team members. However, there is nothing stopping people from putting data access logic in controllers or polluting the views with complex logic. Those sorts of mistakes can and will happen regardless of technology. The key is to pick the right technology for your team and the problem at hand and stick with it.
As a Canadian, the TN visa is by far the easiest get. If you qualify, you just get it at the border when you enter. You typically need a job offer, be qualified for the job, and the job needs to be on this list:

http://www.nafsa.org/_/file/_/amresource/8cfr2146.htm

The TN visa has the advantage that the company doesn't need to do anything really, just make sure the job description ticks all the boxes for the immigration officers at the border. Other visa classes are more complex and costly (H1-B) and usually have the same kind of qualification requirements.

"Computer Systems Analyst" is the usual job title for programming jobs, you will need either a degree, or some post-secondary school training + 3 years experience. You can probably word your degrees + training to satisfy the education requirement.

The steps to get this visa are outlined here:

A lot of misplaced anger here. The most beloved services and content exist because of advertisers. Put yourself in the shoes of somebody trying to create a new Internet publication, casual video game, search engine, social network, or most any other online business. What do you imagine a successful business plan will be? Paywalls? Good luck with that :-p

The rant is written as though advertisers snuck into the media, as though they infiltrated, they used subterfuge to penetrate an otherwise non-commercial, innocent world of dollar-free self-expression.

The whole thing is backwards. Advertisers and the advertising industry were the parents and premise of this world, not its covert invaders. I find it sad to see folks forgetting which industry we have to thank for the very forums on which we (piously!) castigate it.

As somebody who would like to build a business himself on the back of the Internet, my feeling on the existence of so frictionless a currency as advertising is mostly gratitude.

Its disproportionately high for the publisher. Niche sites with demographics that overlap with adblockers demographic get hit harder than other sites. The ad company will find other places to serve their ads (unless its a product catering to the same demo). (Full disclosure, I work in ads and ad blocker has never cut into our cash money. That being said I'd be interested to hear from another advertiser who has been affected)
Currently computers are not modular and people that keep saying that they are actually tech enthusiasts that are willing to open up a pc and play with the innards.

A modular phone and ability to hot swap parts is something completely different than what we have in pc currently. I hope it catches on and is adopted into other devices as well.

IE taking out the gpu and processor from my phone and attaching it to my TV or tablet for gaming. Or the ability to upgrade the entertainment console in my car by just replacing a part.

We, the family of five, went bicycling along Vancouver's waterfront today. It was a cold sunny day. We rode something like 12km, made several stops, had lunch and looped back to where we started.

It would be nice to be able to do the same thing, with the same people, in the same place, on this same day in April, 30 years from now.

Which sort of illustrates the cliché that it is not the destination that one should aim for but the journey.
American tipping isn't a particularly good system, but it's unkind to not tip if it means cheating the wait staff out of their wages.

> Read the E-Government Act of 2002

You piqued my curiosity, citing a public law in your defense of a position that a federal agency is operating illegally, so I did. You missed §205(e) of that Act, which modifies Public Law 102-140 §303(a) to read:

SEC. 303. (a) The Judicial Conference may, only to the extent necessary,
prescribe reasonable fees, pursuant to sections 1913, 1914, 1926, and 1930 of
title 28, United States Code, for collection by the courts under those sections
for access to information available through automatic data processing equipment.

So, your citation actually disagrees with you. I didn't bother to study further to see if this has been amended (it almost certainly has), because I was mainly interested in your defensive citation.

As I said, these are based on costs. The method of determining those costs is probably flawed and we can debate that all day long, but the fees are legally permitted. Throwing terms around like "illegal" and "criminal" undermines the point you have.
+1 to you and I agree this is a nice step - though it doesn't work at scale, nor is it 100% appropriate for the ideals of the web. If you think about the web as the penultimate democracy for content, where content of the highest quality is available to even the poorest person, then saying "pay for this or you'll remain ignorant" is just not fair.

Example: I would be more ok if Coursera/Udacity and the like went with an ad-based model rather than a pay-per-view model. Why? Because the people it's meant to help - the individual who can't afford to take out massive loans to pay for school or the kid from the bad side of town - can't really benefit if it costs 100's or 1000's of $$ to study, say, computer science or the like.

Retort: But there are a number of other free resources! See link here or here!
Retort back: Those aren't the highest quality, and usually those are free because:
a) they're supported by ad spend
b) they're supported by VC funding and will eventually move behind a paywall of some sort eventually.
If you want to smarm about a better business model, I invite you to find it yourself. It's much easier to perform that smarm than find one, but I guess if you have to rationalize free ridership it's a good line. And it means you don't have to come to grips with the idea that it's a social problem instead of a free-market-hallowed-be-thy-name problem; it does mean you can mostly wave away that the money needs to come from somewhere and every scalable option involves advertising that free-riders block, native advertising that compromises the integrity of the work (if it's applicable at all), or requiring payment that readers won't pony up for. (Yes, really, every option, you're welcome to bookmark this post and cheetodust about it if one ever comes to fruition but I am comfortable betting my side of the line.)

Fixing the country, though, is ssssocialism, and we can't have that. Instead people who entertain us should beg for scraps, I suppose. That's sustainable.
The opening paragraph includes this line:
--
Erdely said she was searching for a single, emblematic college rape case that would show “what it’s like to be on campus now … where not only is rape so prevalent but also that there’s this pervasive culture of sexual harassment/rape culture,” according to Erdely’s notes of the conversation.
--

If that's not promoting a specific cause, I'm not sure what is.

She was looking for a sensational story. Someone fed her one. Erdely still has a job. Jackie isn't in jail. All of the fraternities and sororities were punished. And the UVA president says "The story unfairly maligned UVa and many members of our community" and has yet to offer an apology for punishing the entire system without anything that resembled evidence, let alone an actual investigation.

I hope Erdely, Rolling Stone, "Jackie", and UVA are sued by the fraternity and entire greek system.
I'm so relieved not to be the only person <:-o
Actually, I don't think it's a fair point to say that "I chose to view the ads on that page" is specious and unsupported at all. Those ads are part of the markup and makeup of that page.

Why Apple Is the Toyota of Hi-Tech
I used to be in defense of the targeted ad movement, but I have completely changed my views. When I finally found out that even my gmail was being surveyed to build a profile about me, I decided that personally it had gone too far. But if we really want to change it we have to stop playing into the business model and we have to start educating the users. That is one of the main reasons that I started Rebil (shamless plug: rebil.co ). I plan to fight this battle not with adblock, but by creating products that are open and honest with their consumers and deal openly in currency rather than hidden data transactions. The question is, will consumers value their data and their privacy enough to pay for services? I think they will and I am betting on it.

> In fact, our reluctance to pay for any type of content has led to the state we are in today

Then how come, every time I pay for content, that content still has ads? The paywalled newspaper sites I frequent do this. Or, notice how they do this in every movie theater in America now -- you can't sit there in peace before a movie. Instead, before the trailers start, you're subjected to a barrage of loud ads.

Even on the March Madness app -- I've logged in with my Comcast credentials, they are going to show me the regular TV ads, and yet they make me miss live game action to show me ads specific to the app! And they do this every time you leave the app and come back.

Every place that an ad can be placed, it will eventually be placed, in every medium and whether a consumer paid for that content or not. Throwing ads in our face is so widely abused that I'm completely unsurprised that adblockers are mainstream and still growing. Our web browser is one of the few places we still have control.
But that's exactly my point: without loading an arbitrary page, I can't know whether or not there are ads embedded in its markup.

If a page's headers could somehow tell me, "Hey! This page has ads! Do you still want to load it?", and I choose to continue viewing the page, then I've consented.

Absent that kind of exchange, I am in principle being involuntarily subject to unwanted content.
