I've worked with Markus, it would be very disingenuous to think he works 15 minutes a day. He really loves running the site.

It's just that the feels like work part of his job only lasts 15 minutes, signing cheques, etc. He just doesn't do the "I work 8 hours 5 days a week thing", if the site is fucked up he is there til it's fixed. If everything is on track, he might be there an hour or two.
that's really impressive, good luck!
One area where Flash was incredible - Adobe Air for desktop apps.

Seriously, there was no better/easier way to visit a site, download an app, and have it push out updates. It was beautiful.

No other cross platform solution comes close to AIR in that regard.
Mojang maybe?

Agree, it's completely over-simplified. And it's not like Christianity is a single religion either, they did not even show the main schisms - and Buddhism has multiple incarnations as well.

Besides, There were other major religions before these 5 ones, and since they are not represented, they make it look like the world was "Godless" before they actually appeared.
Which is an interesting problem as to stop loading all these scripts I have to give another script access to everything I see.
It is quite difficult—just not necessarily in terms of code. What makes it really hard is the chicken-egg problem that people won't come to it until there are people on it to browse, and there aren't people on it to browse if nobody signs up.

OKCupid's clever bypass for this was to get people hooked answering all those little questions. Heck I knew early adopters that signed up just to answer those questions, not necessarily for dating, and then fell into using it.

Tinder's was the swipe right/left that has now become a term used outside of the app in other parts of life.

Take a break! Sleep, go out to a park and lie down in the sun, whatever makes you feel like you're not struggling to motivate yourself. Don't do leisure activities like computer games if they make you feel bored and unfulfilled - that'll just make you lethargic and depressed, in my experience.

If this is a regular problem for you, the time to address it is when you're feeling "up" - get exercise, get enough sleep (even if that involves midday naps, and I'm sure many other things that people can suggest).

When is the formal EOL for Firefox? It's my primary browser, but some people hate it, so just thought I'd ask when the EOL for Firefox is?

Flash is never blocked for me in Firefox and never will be. Because a few months back I did this:

1. about:config
2. extensions.blocklist.enabled - 'false'

Job done. No more Mozilla annoyances between me and the content I wish to access. And yes, it was an annoyance because the link to "check for updates" in your message would not get me anywhere. That was a flaw in your strategy that I now suspect was deliberate. I really can't respect engineered annoyances that align with agendas rather than good UX.

I like Flash when it's done well. Raw performance and efficiency is one of the things I like about it. The powerful multimedia handling of everything from audio to video cannot be matched by HTML5. I'm an HTML/CSS/JS dev for my living for 20 years, that's how I know this to be true.

HTML5 video is cute. But it doesn't cut the mustard in all circumstances.

360 video, VR, and many other things will come along that are too much for web technologies to handle. Flash serves a useful purpose in allowing websites to cater to the most demanding cutting edge tech and content without needing the Firefoxes and Chromes of the world to keep up.

"closed source"; "battery drain"; "plugins are just bad".... oh cry me a river.

My comment has reached EOL.
I did not know that this is an open source website. How did you hack this informations?
Hm. So you're saying that a state disregarding tens of UN resolutions, that is in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, that periodically massacres thousands of civilians, that faces mounting accusations of being an apartheid regime, that keeps creating civilian settlements in an occupied territory, that has secret nuclear weapons, that incarcerates people without accusation or trial - this state "shares and can help spread our basic values about democratic government".

Good luck with that! You couldn't have given a better explanation for the rise of fundamentalism and terrorism in the ME.

Much of the content will disappear. Wasn't that one of the arguments against using Flash in the first place? People used it anyway. Now it's time for the emotional blackmail?

Well, functionally, that's the experience you get from Reddit via the "front page" -- all your little communities show up together, showing you what's "new".

Of course, the problem is now that those "little communities" have 3-4 million people in them, and are basically large cities.
True, and if that's why she left that's fine with me.

Put on your fav music and dance when nobody sees you. I do it really often.

The churn is so high on dating sites that everybody is constantly re-acquiring customers. One test for anti-trust is also how they think the market would respond to a price increase.

Yes, you need a critical mass of people, but what this means can be very different for different people. Some dating sites have a warm body approach where you probably need lots of people because the set of matches is terrible.

However if you had a dating site for swedish people living in miami who only wanted to date swedish people even having 40 people on there might be plenty.
The issue here isn't so much that they can run anything they like - it's not implied that the provider intentionally put a cross-site scripting vulnerability into the code. The issue is that you don't get to audit the third party code for vulnerabilities, and vulnerabilities can be introduced without your knowledge.

But that is part of the tradeoff you make when you agree to accept money from someone to add their code to your site.

If someone offers you a hundred bucks to carry a bag onto a plane for them, you'd be right to be suspicious. Ah, but it's not just a random stranger. You were introduced to them by your buddy, the ad network. So that's okay then. Your ad provider wouldn't be dealing with anybody who was actually criminal. But what about negligent? Did they pack the bag themself? Have they let it out of their sight?

When you run ads on your site, remember which direction the money is flowing in, and remember who is the customer.

Ad networks are a trust broker. The ad provider wants to know their ad really was shown to a real person in a real web browser, who really does meet the demographic profile they are paying to target. They do not trust you, the publisher, at all. And they are paying.

You, as the publisher, are getting money from the ad network to compensate you for the inconvenience of surfacing the advertiser's content on your site. And of proving that you aren't defrauding them. To do that, you are going to give up some control.

And that includes control over whether the code you're serving is secure.

I suggest you get tested for psychiatric diseases like Bipolar or depression. I used to have similar mood swings and a year ago I went into major depression. I consulted a psychiatrist and got diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and depression. The mood swings were due to Bipolar. Now after one year of treatment and still going, I am having less mood swings. Depression has pretty much gone away too. But general lack of motivation still persists.

I use uMatrix, and I have already whitelisted loading scripts from common CDNs as global rules. They're everywhere and I found myself just constantly whitelisting them anyway.

The trend for a long time was to cite using a CDN as a best practice, but no one ever calls out the downsides when making such statements. In this case, you lose control of the code and allow third-party access to your users' browsers.

I'm both a sleep apnea patient and a retired radiologist who practiced 30 years.

I assure you that even if the doctors are "real" in any given B2C commercial endeavor, there are plenty of frauds practicing medicine. I've seen them first hand. Although we are highly regulated, there is significant risk to one doc whistleblowing on another. I've seen lawsuits for slander. So, the bad apples generally are able to remain in the health care system indefinitely.

No, I'm more suspicious of generic botnet/ransomware stuff. Which probably isn't anything that sophisticated.

That was yesterday. Having slept on it, I think the most likely cause is that I happened on a key combination that tries to poll status or activate AMT during POST/early boot (eg maybe something for service techs to load/auto-configure AMT off PXE or USB or something). An auto-loader for AMT wouldn't thrill me either, of course. Finding a cryptolocker installer in my Temp folder just has me running paranoid, I've never seen that particular message appear before, and it was gone before I could really get a good look.

Managed to dig up this paper on some of the potential black-hat applications of AMT [1]. Happened on another interesting one on Intel SGX [2]. It's certainly a net positive to have virtualization/sandboxing, secure enclaves, etc in our systems - but it always bugs me that they paradoxically create the potential for rootkits that are impossible to pry out once they're situated.

The idea of a platform-neutral technology that could serve as a vector for malware is a particularly disturbing one to me. Developing viruses for each individual BIOS implementation is something of a barrier to large-scale contagion of such malware, but there's probably a much smaller number of (eg) AMT or SGX versions with significant code overlap.

Frankly, the theocratic regime with attempts at nuclear proliferation we should be afraid of is Saudi Arabia. They'd likely buy bombs from Pakistan in short order if they decided they wanted one.

It's a combination of Moore's law and churn, since the site is reasonably effective it generates huge churn.

Since RAM follows Moore's law you could always keep the users in RAM if you wrote effective queries because user growth didn't outpace Moore's law. All you had to do was build a server big enough.

C# definitely helped vs ruby, the real kicker was stored procs, everything was a highly tuned stored proc. The huge insights I got was latency, by keeping everything close together you could run some really abysmal synchronous code with out cratering everything.

Also, he really cared about the ant hill more than the ants. He would do horrible things to the ants that would encourage them to build a bigger ant hill. (Ants are users, employees were treated very well)

As a fictional example, lets say the site was skewing too heavily male by 20%, just add a line in the stored proc that gave a male user a 20% chance of their registration not being written to disk. Voila, site has the proper mix, onto the next problem. He was the most brutally effective person I've ever worked with.

Well, no, they're not sentimental. But I am. And that's a hell of an incentive to not use iOS if you ask me. At least with Android I know that I'll be able to still run those versions in an emulator if I want to.

This isn't about emotional blackmail. And heck, I'm not the person who made any of those things. I'm just the person who remembers them fondly and still wants to have them around. The difficulty of preserving digital works is bad enough without callous disregard for the task.

I'm not sure if you read the paper. Aaronson writes: "given a formula ϕ, guess a
random assignment x, then kill yourself if x does not satisfy ϕ." In other words, the only universes in which you find yourself existing (alive) are ones in which you are in possession of a solution to ϕ, which you obtained easily by guessing.

Its a not-entirely-serious riff on the Anthropic Principle [1] and maybe the "Quantum Suicide" thought experiment. It's clear to me that the meaning in the article is not that killing yourself solves life problems.

"Because it was easier" is not a good reason for Pocket to be internal. It should have been an extension, which gives the user more control (ie, to completely remove the bits from the system).

Other than that I can only think that you're not properly motivated. I don't know much about clinical depression so this may be obtuse but let's assume you were being tortured; burned, whipped, fingernail removal, whatever. Would you do everything in your power to get out of that situation? Well right now you're comfortable. There are no pressing matters and you have pretty much whatever you need from day to day. That emotional inertia that was there when you began working on your startup isn't there. There are also no new stimuli to spur you back into motion. So the only thing you can do is rest until your comfort level with your progress drops enough for you to get back into gear. I don't know, there's a very good chance I'm projecting from my own past experiences.

The only solution I've found which works for me every day is to get angry. Angry about what other people have done that I haven't done. Angry about what other people have that I don't have. Angry about not using my talents to the fullest - not seeing what I'm capable of doing. Angry about being told no, I can't. My progress is fueled by rage and my heart will probably pop by age 50 but I will get my work done. I will never allow myself to be comfortable.

Good luck, whatever you do.

Historically the US has done all of that. Remember, we developed nuclear weapons and are the only country that has actually used them in warfare.

We have also developed and used biological and chemical weapons. Hell, for a recent example after signing a convention banning using laser weapons to blind people we got rid of our prototype laser weapons to blind people.
