This was always going to happen, Atom was always doomed to fail.
Why was that technology stack used to develop Atom? A browser window to render a text editor?
If Atom wanted to take over the world, it should have chosen a technology stack that made it run AT LEAST as quick as Sublime Text. Instead we got Eclipse. Therefore, it's never going to get traction outside a niche.
LESSON LEARNED: Choose a technology stack that benefits the end user, not one that suits the developer of the software.

That can't be correct, I get lots of traffic from China, and use Cloudflare. Unfortunately, the traffic is often SQL injection type garbage, so I'm going to be upgrading to Cloudflare Pro as it seems they block such traffic.

What is the cost to produce a page like this? Must be high, versus the cost of a normal article with inline images. I cannot imagine that the ROI is worth it. Therefore I think that this article format will disappear for economic reasons.

Are those cumulative figures? A bit misleading if so.

The technology is not nearly ready. Not in a city. It's like flying drone delivery. Easy to demonstrate in a single controlled setting, but nearly impossible to actually implement in the real world.

Self-driving cars in a city environment are like flying cars. Sounds kinda plausible, but the tech is always going to be 20 years away.

I found the multimedia presentation to be over-designed, clunky, unusable nonsense.

When did this type of website design become acceptable?
I'm starting to see it more and more.
It reminds me of when "Multimedia CD-ROMs" first appeared circa mid-1990s, where flashy interfaces were ranked much higher than useability.
Please stop it. Give me a webpage with text, and images that I can enlarge when clicked. Thank you.

A great startup.
But the linked webpage... when did design like that become normal?

No please, don't turn this into a "people with power" can do anything rant. Reddit removed the sub because they were overwhelmed with DMCA notices. If the other sub you mentioned was also flooded with DMCA notices then it would get removed too.

So why not send your mobile traffic to Google Adsense, and the normal traffic to your current ad provider.

fizzbuzz is very useful as a pre-interview screening technique. But as the author says, it's 20 minutes of wasted time in an actual interview.

I presume that the content on your website is somewhat NSFW, otherwise you would be using Google Adsense or media.net to server the adverts. They give full reports, pay well, and in my experience pay higher for mobile browsers.
You say that they send you a cheque, with no breakdown of figures. This seems almost unbelievable to me.

"The only topic on which I manage to accumulate downvotes is Snowden/NSA related."
Indeed, I got -40 karma on this story. Dissenting opinions are not tolerated on NSA stories.
Therefore people who do not agree with the HN consensus "self-censor", and a vicious circle is created, with only a single narrative displayed.
That's an extraordinary claim - I presume you have extraordinary evidence? I mean... this is Hacker News, not a conspiracy website.
