Ask HN: Why is tracking/advertising so bad?

I'm from a developing country, where even people working as devs/engineer prefer apps with ads over paid apps. I think the privacy argument is looked at from a wrong angle. Not everyone can afford to pay for a subscription or even a one-time fee. Especially, if you're from developing parts of the world. If there are a couple of ads which subsidizes something that is otherwise unattainable for someone, I don't see why that is bad.

What's the worst thing that could happen from Google tracking me across the web could? Show me a couple of ads that it thinks is relevant from history? I don't see why that's the end of the world.

While I do believe that there should be transparency in what's collected and how it is used to prevent misuse, some of the pro-privacy arguments seem too extreme. I'm open to other views, of course

New comment by martin_a in "Show HN: Rust Library to check your Internet connectivity"

Did not downvote you, but I think you might have missed the point: If the package is widely in use, one could change the host that is pinged/whatever. People probably don't look in depth at such packages and will just update it. This leads to probably MASSIVE traffic to endpoints which are not expecting this.

That is pretty much what happend with this dubious WordPress plugin developers that changed their "license check" or keep-alive check or whatever to do some hundred thousand (or so) "checks" to their competitors website per hour.

Rosetty: A YAML/JS/Node/Python Dual Language View Tutorial Template

http://bit.ly/2EFVqlP

My goal was to create a dual language viewer as a tool to use at a meetup - basically a lesson plan that people can take home and study if they like. I used the Rosetta Stone as a basis for this simple template. I only have python and javascript side by side, but the section.yaml can easily be added on to add more languages and more sections to each languages. http://bit.ly/2XiBGfq

I made this with a Yaml file that has all the paragraphs in it, I used a python script to syntax highlight and url replace google(subject) with google search links. Node.js is used as the basic file server. Tornado could have also been used. Vanilla javascript is used alongside js-yaml.

Further work I would like to accomplish would be to : 1. get sections for classes, inheritance, and string manipulation. 2. Put in Go and Java so someone could compare Java with Python, Python with Go, and Go with Java. each side by side. 3. Make more pages with the yaml as a template. 4. Do meetups!

New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Work at a Startup Expo will be at YC on Saturday, June 29

Tell HN: Work at a Startup Expo will be at YC on Saturday, June 29
67 by ryankicks | 22 comments on Hacker News.
Last year, we revived the "Work at a Startup" event for YC companies and prospective hires to meet each other in person ( http://bit.ly/2QwWzk9 ). The format has proven to work well, so we're doing it again. The 2019 event will be on Saturday, June 29 at YC in Mountain View: http://bit.ly/2wqm7q4 Many engineers are interested in working at smaller companies. But there aren't many efficient ways to meet a bunch of them at once, and it's a ton of repetitive work to seek them out one by one. Meanwhile, hiring is the biggest challenge most YC startups are facing. That's an obvious matchmaking problem, and bringing everyone together in one big event is one thing YC can do to help address it. It's a fun and interesting day, too! This year, we're bringing together 40 YC companies in one place. Rapid-fire company presentations—like Demo Day, but for engineers instead of investors—will give you a way to quickly survey the companies. Following this, we'll have a casual open house for you to engage one-on-one with any founders and early engineers who you thought were interesting. New this time: We've heard from people who are interested in joining somewhat later-stage startups, because they think their skills may translate better to roles there than at the classic 2-to-10 person early stage. So this year we've included a number of larger startups, like Gusto and Sift Science. These companies have specialized needs across data, infrastructure, security and more. We hope this gives you more options to match your skill set, interests and risk appetite. Working at a startup is for sure not for everybody! Justin Kan covered this in his post here: http://bit.ly/2QumIQz , and HN users are never shy about pointing out the downsides. But I can tell you from personal experience that the upsides are powerful if you're in a position to go for it. For me, working at startups has been a unique opportunity to work closely with talented and experienced founders. (Many founders at this year's event learned to ship products at places like Square, Google, Linkedin and even Gusto.) The magic of working with a small, closely aligned team and the feeling of true ownership and impact is something many of us long for in our careers. The intense learning curves, the chance to personally grow rapidly along with a company—these are experiences which those of us lucky enough to have would never trade away. Of course, there are no guarantees: it's a classic risk/reward tradeoff. But if you're tired of feeling stuck and uncreative in a corporate situation, or no longer really believing in what you're doing, and part of you is longing for greater ferment, impact, and adventure, come and spend the day with us and check out the other side of the equation. I hope to see you there! http://bit.ly/2wqm7q4
