Glad I found this video: https://theannoyingsite.com/hasan.mp4

Does anyone else see the irony that this is published on Bloomberg, a company who's historic record vastly shows a disregard for work/life balance?

Maybe the Gmail team should realize we're all not children.

I'm sitting here wondering why no one ever talks about PowerShell. It supports .NET reflection, which allows direct .NET API access. It's basically c# shell.

Yes. I've just immediately not gone to a site that didn't load content because I was using an ad blocker. Your content has to be very worth it for me to disable my ad blocker.

Sell side, not buy side.

Am I the only one who can't read an article when the text is aligned on the left size of a window like that?

Thanks for pointing that out. Too bad.

To note, there is a client-side workaround that allows whitelisting of ALL unsigned extensions (they might consider creating a whitelist of UUIDs or something "humans" can handle like the name of an extension). I was able to change the following and uBlock and Ghostery immediately started working in the "Aurora" build: go to about:config ; set xpinstall.signatures.required = false

I'm surprised by the lack of philosophy writings mentioned here.

I'm averse to sociopathic and manipulative teachings such as my book-by-its-cover judgement of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and the like.

Instead, I began my journey several years ago reading through "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Guranatana. More recently I began frequenting the Farnam Street blog, being turned onto reading "The Obstacle is the Way," by Ryan Holiday, which lead me to "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, and I'll be picking up "Letters from a Stoic" as soon as I'm done with "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" by Tolstoy (having never read Tolstoy's non-fiction writing previous to "A Letter to a Hindu," which was posted to Hacker News a few weeks ago).

I would say that the most powerful book I've read is Meditations. The perspective the book holds is that you are a person, and people are pre-wired to do good for society and for other people (as entities); that this is innate in you, and you MUST use this to do good. It is a book focused on resilience in the face of circumstances, people and things that people do that aren't good.

I actually think that's the exact opposite of the original point, and it simply should be left alone to be what it is. By "customizing" the selection, it loses a large majority of the nostalgia.

Maybe... just maybe... have the default be this way, and a tiny tiny link saying "click here for the new web 2.0, users are in control, why not just search youtube yourself, upvote this, downvote that... empowering... customizable... have it your way, right away at burger king now version"

Interesting point! Worth noting that I do think that this is what lawyers _really_ do. They smudge the gray area to their will, and with enough effort, they make some sort of progress towards their client's bidding. Worth noting, even with the existence of Tomahawk and youtube... and napalm indexer, soulseek, and torrentz.eu, I still felt that it was much easier to pay for Spotify than to drill through the tendrils of the Internet. I had time when I was a poor college student/post-college "adult," but I figured semi-efficiently pirating music for 20 years (yes on a 56k modem as well), I'd rather just popcorntime it and go. Where is the popcorntime for music anyway? Does Tomahawk count at this?

Yep.

I actually ran into this issue with the `argus` network flow generator/processor project, run "by one dude." As a non-developer, but a user, I spent time grinding away at understanding it, mostly as a hobby, and wound up realizing that the "one dude" set his bar pretty high at what he expected of his users' skill sets. I can sincerely appreciate that, but that bar should be lowered so that folks can at least use the software effectively without pissing off the entire mailing list :D

I did just as stated here; lowered the bar for non-developers by producing "on boarding" documentation that takes you from no-to-go in about 30 minutes, massaging my inane questions and failures in mailing list etiquette into an accessible wiki doc (accessible at nsmwiki.org for anyone who is specifically interested).

I take pride in it and it even sits on my resume.

Really does remind me of Max MSP.

But will it work in the zombie apocalypse?

This reminds me of how awesome NY Times is... I remember watching The Iron Triangle audio slideshow and thinking how great it was: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtml/2004/02/28/nyregion/20...

Repeated statements without enumerating all the other statements... Weight your randomness son!

Problem: Can't choose currency. Why? I'm in Antigua and all pricing is rendered in XCD, but I'm a USD user.

Personally noticed a substantial strain on my cardio after taking OTC Melotonin from GNS to sleep the night before.

Funny, but yes... even if I drink more than say... two glasses of wine, I am noticeably less alert, drowsy, and impaired the next day. So, not even "blackout drunk..." Better off waiting for the weekends for any alcohol.

Very funny... I made it through two episodes of Invisibilia and couldn't figure out why it was pissing me off. Sure enough, vocal fry: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/545/i...

Yes, music discovery is still a problem. Take a look at the first iteration of Audio Galaxy, which I thought was the best possible music recommendation platform available. You'd have a client opened. Humans would join groups. Humans would push tracks to groups. This is how I discovered DJ Shadow, DJ Food, and several other artists back in the day (read: 2001) all because I was part of a trip-hop group. People would post discussion threads, organize, etc. There is a difference between computer recommendation services and human recommendation services... you know, soul... and I haven't found a single thing that's similar to that iteration of AudioGalaxy yet. Tomahawk does look promising.

I shudder when I wind up listening to Kaskade because I started an Astral Projection station on Pandora. Last.fm was a bit better, but just not the same as AudioGalaxy of yore. Algorithms don't push barriers and take risk (or at least do either "properly"); it's the exact opposite of what they're trying to do.

DNS?

I think the use of a VPN solves last mile security.

This reminds me of a site (the name of which I apparently have washed from my memory, but not manta) that creates a profile for you from your public LinkedIn profile. It showed up in a google search when I was looking for a job, and contained older entries. I had to opt-in, sign up, and edit my information in order for it to be removed. The point everyone here is missing, is that this is the free-market risk of publishing things to the open web.

Deal with the issue some other way. There are unethical people out there who want to make money in crafty ways.

How is searching Google while I sleepily sip my morning coffee "doxxing?" I don't even own a Guy Fawkes mask.

Honestly, sorry about that Jon. I wanted to bring some transparency where there was none, and this seemed reasonable to actually share some concerns (and I don't consider this "doxxing" or whatever that other guy said, more like "googleing over coffee"). I did install your app and it is great! Coming from using the flow tool argus (part of the CALEA collection toolkit), I always thought that analyzing flow/connection data was the next frontier in client/end user security; and sure enough GlassWire does just this! It is true, however, that further transparency would be good. I suppose that just comes with time. To keep it simple, this app being free really just makes me wonder what the catch it. So, what's the catch? :) I use Ghostery and that catch is pretty obvious.
