Re:Chicago taxi industry sliding towards collapse on Friday June 09, 2017 @06:40PM (#14525120)
| The union is calling on the city take several actions to provide relief for the city’s struggling taxi industry, including changing rules so taxi drivers aren’t required to replace their vehicles as often

Right! Let's loosen the rules and allow the cabs to be in worse condition than they already are, that will get the customers back! /s

Re:Be Careful Celebrating Google’s New Ad Blocker on Thursday June 08, 2017 @08:59PM (#14518448)
I think this will be very beneficial to non-savvy web-users who may be tricked by misleading ads like the download buttons, and the like.

Ads aren't really a problem for me (and I am guessing a lot of others), it's bad/misleading ads like pop-ups, auto-play video ads, etc. I think the idea to block ads that do not follow an established industry standard is definitely a step in the right direction.

Savvy users will continue to use 3rd party ad blockers- no change there.

Re:Ask HN: How do I earn money as a teenage programmer? on Tuesday June 06, 2017 @08:50PM (#14502873)
The most honest answer is you don't. Unless you are a legit genius-level developer, in which case you wouldn't be posting this question on here.
No. You're wrong, as it states in the article:

"The reason: Google search results are based on an algorithm that scans the internet for free content. After the Journal’s free articles went behind a paywall, Google’s bot only saw the first few paragraphs and started ranking them lower, limiting the Journal’s viewership."

“You are definitely being discriminated against as a paid news site.” Jesus fucking christ, what a sentence. 'Google-bot can't index our pay-walled articles... DISCRIMINATION!!!' fuck wsj, seriously

What a waste of time and money for everyone
This seems like a dumb move for FB. Why would they expect anything worth watching from buzzfeed or vox, take a look at their youtube channels - garbage content, terrible views, tons of dislikes. Yep, sounds like winning entertainment we need more of /s

Why not, most code is written in English.

Re:The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S on Tuesday December 13, 2016 @04:22PM (#13171164)
I don't really understand why there is so much energy being spent trying to spin this into Russia subverting our Democracy. Corporate and government espionage happens. In this case, the results of these 'hacks' has been release of confidential emails and documents. If the contents of these dumps were completely mundane, I do not think it would have been a big deal at all. It's sort of like saying 'information subverted our Democracy'.
