102 | null | null | The trouble might be that if your advertising message really is all that interesting, you can just submit it like any other story and people will vote it up.<p>Every now and then, an advertiser will make a mistake and pay for attention he could have gotten for free. But I don't think we can expect them to do that all the time. The only way to make money from advertising is to accept money from people who can't get attention otherwise. | null | DennisP | null | 1,268,060,141 | "2010-03-08T14:55:41Z" | comment | 1,175,409 | 1,172,650 | null | null | null |

Also, we have app-level schema, but enforcing should (IMHO) be done on DB level so as to avoid any chance of invalid data.<p>Joins: easy, we specify which fields are connected (on app level), then fetching goes to connected collections and fetches data from there too. Not ideal, but it works. We made a similar solution for foreign keys.<p>Transactions: no need for any further guarantees. Our system mostly works on a single record at a time in all critical components. If this is not possible, we have app-level locking to avoid conflicts.

116 | null | null | I fully agree. In fact, I think (hope) that most of the writers who are selling only hundreds of copies of their books are actually just bad marketers. I think this is why the myth of the Big Four publishing house exists, because those publishing houses used to come in and scoop the writer out of obscurity by marketing their book. Now they look for a writer who already has a big platform so they don't have to spend the marketing budget and can wind up with a "sure thing." | null | ellegriffin | null | 1,620,665,324 | "2021-05-10T16:48:44Z" | comment | 27,108,026 | 27,107,893 | null | null | null |

119 | null | null | The implication that the author wants to make is that the cops are worse than the criminals, and that's the conclusion most people will make on first reading of it. However, after further inspection that's totally acceptable, because cops mostly (?) go after bad people, whereas criminals mostly go after innocent people. It's like saying "police are responsible for more kidnappings (aka. arrests) than criminals". Technically true, but misleading. | null | gruez | null | 1,620,665,339 | "2021-05-10T16:48:59Z" | comment | 27,108,029 | 27,107,924 | null | null | null |

133 | null | null | Nah. It's long-haul trucking. There's a much easier on-ramp to profitability because you don't have to solve the whole problem at once.<p>You start by just automating the highway driving, which is a much easier problem than city driving. You might still need the human operator to deal with the off-highway driving at the beginning and end of each journey, but in the middle they can just hang out in the cab and work on their PhD dissertation or whatever. At that point your business has become quite a bit more efficient, because you've gotten rid of the need for your trucks to be stationary for 10 out of every 24 hours.<p>So that's already a big win for tackling a relatively small piece of the problem. You can keep chipping away from there, and each increment will net even more returns. | null | bunderbunder | null | 1,490,447,033 | "2017-03-25T13:03:53Z" | comment | 13,955,420 | 13,955,317 | null | null | null |

140 | null | null | Nope.<p>The major difference between your common Windows user and Linux user is that Windows users are often logged in as Administrator. So if arbitrary-code-execution happens that code owns the whole system - checkmate.<p>The typical Linux user is not running their Windows Manager or browser as root. The worse that can happen is stuff to your home dir(which can be very bad too). Even this article title calling this a <i>"userland rootkit"</i> is kinda odd, since
"/etc/ld.so.preload"(and the whole /etc dir) is a root-only writable. No matter how secure your OS is, if you're tricked into running an evil program as root/admin... it's game over.<p>The usage-pattern for this happening on Windows is much, much higher than Linux since Windows users are already admin to start off with. Also, from my observation of Windows users over my 10+ year career, they always click "Ok" on every pop-up dialog box without even reading it. I think that UAC thing from Windows Vista enforced that behavior even more. | null | smtddr | null | 1,392,570,930 | "2014-02-16T17:15:30Z" | comment | 7,248,323 | 7,247,385 | null | null | null |

149 | null | null | Pronouns are merely virtue signaling acts of control. By specifying pronouns if they are obvious (99% of the time) you are signaling you are part of a non-bigoted, non-hateful club. Surely you don’t hate people right? So why don’t you have your pronouns visible, fellow citizen?<p>It’s also a form of control in redefining the obvious. You want to just live your life? Nope, sorry, you need to consciously be aware of my preferred pronouns at all times.

Maybe I am just remembering things with nostalgia-colored glasses, but it just seems so different now. So bland and vanilla. Everything that was quirky, silly, grimy, dangerous, weirdo, degenerate, beatnik, or irreverent is now gone. Every building, hall and dorm in the place looks and feels like a sterile, gray hospital now. The arcades and dive bars and unique hangouts that used to be down on the city's main road have been replaced with banks, fast food chains, clothing factory outlets, more banks, trendy bistros that spent $1M on just their logo, and so on. Everything is just soulless and cardboard now. Even the students! The guys walking around don't stink like we used to--they all have this weird happy preppy-optimist-i'm-on-camera vibe. Nobody is retching on the sidewalk or sitting in the shrubs high as a kite. Everyone just seems to be kind of nervously hustling everywhere.
