nobody can form government without it

Of course they can, they just choose not to. What you are saying is that the parties are choosing a blackmailer over a self-declared "enemy". That's a choice, it's not inevitable.

Besides, if the political landscape is diverse enough, a minority coalition can be a boon for everyone: it means that the ruling parties must actually learn to cooperate with the opposition instead of dictating policy for the duration of their term.
Yes, the initial load is heavy. I think lots of it may be device rendering time after the page is loaded- chrome is the only browser that natively renders web components and every other non-blink browser has to wait for polyfills to load. The JS has got to be hard on mobile CPUs especially.

HTTP/2 with server push would help, but I'm hosting on dreamhost shared hosting and they're not HTTP/2 enabled yet. I am using the bundled build option in Polymer which concatenates most of the components, but there's still a lot of assets to serve.

Chrome service worker is working though! Load the site in chrome, then go into airplane mode and hit refresh. (not chrome for iOS though, that's WebKit underneath)
And quite big community.
The 8h/day rule is an average per week if you are working 6 days a week, this is because the maximum work per week is 48h. Usually you work 5 days, so you fall in the rule that you must not be above 48h/week and a maximum of 10h/day.

If you work in shifts, some other rules apply but at the end, you cannot go over the 48h/week on average and have special "recovery" days.

But in Germany you have a lot of agreements for let say metal workers or people in the chemical industry. In some cases, the official week is only 37h or even 35h long.
Which shift in socio-economic demographics was only accelerated by the formation of latifundia [0], enormous aristocratic estates consolidated from small farmholds, at least partially due to the latter's failure when their owners were at war for more than a single planting/harvest season. This increased agricultural productivity employed slaves to fuel its economies of scale, at the expense of inflating the class of landless peasant citizen, who migrated to cities and became the urban poor. These were then recruited into the army, which conquered new territories and enslaved new peoples to work the lands from which their soldiers' lineages had been driven.

This same dynamic repeats itself in Byzantium [1], though with a more explicitly feudal flavor.

Is that any cause of much concern for open-source projects? Anyone can resume development at any time, no? I'd be more worried about closed software that had its latest release that long ago.
Ask HN: How do you escape Google?
Appreciated HN Community,

I, naively, really had hope on the Don't be Evil motto. But the Google's
trend of invading our privacy a bit more every day without asking at all
for our permission, tracking absolutely everything, I think it's getting
too far. Their open support to TTP has felt like a slap in the face of
awakening reality. Their presumed support Hillary also concerns me quite a bit.

As a techie, I admire a lot of their work (I may be easy audience,
but Google Maps really flips me out), but I think we should worry
about limits in the name of progress. I wouldn't mind to give some
personal data away to enjoy some of their services, but I want to
know and decide which data I give away. I have recently checked
myactivity.google.com and what I saw there was quite terrifying.

I'm aware how highly I depend on their services. I have an Android phone,
Gmail as my main email account, organise myself with Google Calendar,
I browse the web with Chrome, solve every question with Google Search,
and get directions with Google Maps.

Since my unconditional love for the company has clearly been damaged I think
it's time to start looking for alternative services.

I have replaced Google Search with Duckduckgo. That was easy. It feels a bit
slower, and I still miss how google suggestions know what I want before I type
it, but it could work. Fully replacing Gmail is going to take a while, but I
think Protonmail is a nice alternative. I don't mind paying the yearly
subscription if I'm still happy with it when the space limit becomes a problem.
I have come back to Firefox even though some things feel smoother on Chrome,
which I haven't totally abandoned. A work in progress.

The thing is, what about Android, is there any solution you would recommend?
(Apple products are not an option) And to Google Maps? How do you guys manage
the balance privacy/usability/comfort?
Is it possible to display a "There are no records" message if a container is empty (i.e. tbody) using CSS only?
> Wasn't the list price being nonsense marketing widely acknowledged?

Most certainly. The insidiousness of these disingenuous marketing tactics is that that work if if you're wise to them. It's manipulative and annoying. This sort of pervasive disrespect for user/customers/clients/etc... is what has rotted the advertising/marketing industry from the inside out.
Fun fact: I always use cyan as a "debug color", e.g. as "border: 1px solid cyan" to locate elements in the layout. Cyan jsut has no place in any proper color scheme (IMHO) and thus easily stands out against any background.

If that's your anecdote, here's mine: _Every_ time I install Windows I need some third party driver just to make graphics and networking go. Then I need third party software just to get a development environment or a decent shell.

Upgrading these are hit and miss, and it's more common than not that third party drivers do not support newer versions of the operating system.

Linux, meanwhile, integrates all of these components. As long as you stay away from non-supported third party drivers it just works, and upgrades are painless. (Until some desktop developers change the GUI again, but that's another story.)

Sure it's breakable, but that still isn't bad advice. In practice, an application run with the evil bit set won't know how to break out of such a container, nor how to abuse the X socket.

It's only bad advice if you're relying on Docker to provide security against targeted threats. Know your enemy.

>This is another step in the wrong direction. Animals are very resource intensive and give almost no resources in return.

That is a most obscure statement. Where I live, northern Europe, people couldn't survive without animals, until historically recent inventions of transport. Not just cows and sheep grazing marginal land (though that is not insignificant, because all land is "marginal" here) but also because animals have provided much of the essentials materials for life: skins, wool, even the bones were used for material. That is now largely replaced by using mineral oil resources, which will not last indefinitely.

And if you are promoting "organic and sustainable" agriculture, remember that to do it, you will need to increase the amount of animals in agriculture - otherwise you cannot get the fertilization and nutrition needed by plants.

Then I'd encourage you to try KDE. 4, not 5; 5 is still being developed.

I don't know what's going on with the Gnome guys, but KDE is flat-out the best desktop manager I've used, and I'm including Windows and OS X in the comparison. It's not without glitches, but the glitches are mostly of the "Google can't be bothered to make Chrome cooperate, and no-one has updated Emacs' DM support in the last ten years" sort.

AMA: We are secular homeschoolers and primarily use self-directed learning as our teaching method. Unschooling/self-directed gives our children extreme freedom to pursue their interests, encourages deep play-based learning, and instills a deep level of self-confidence in them.

Most of our homeschooling friends also use this method of "teaching". We have really become more like facilitators for the next big project they feel like doing.
What? Android lets websites vibrate your phone and launch the Play store without permission? That's insane. This is one of the reasons I will never have an android phone.
The fact that the service was implemented such that it only matched men with women, and women with men, could be interpreted as 'active anti-homosexual code'.

On the other hand, one could argue there LGBT singles weren't excluded in the first place -- the site just provided a less than satisfactory service for them. I think this situation is very comparable to face-recognition technology that fails to work properly with people with dark skin, and voice-recognition technology that functions poorly with certain accents.

It's desirable that these services and technologies are equally accessible for everyone. To make this a legal obligation may effectively speed up this process. It also risks slowing development by restricting the use of incremental releases.
Sure, I don't like the direction that windows is taking in terms of privacy, having to deal with compatibility issues or the disregard for people on limited connections. But that isn't worse that the flaws of other operating systems. The basic premise is the same, I use windows because it's offers the best value to me in terms of ecosystem. Windows 10 is probably the best engineered windows yet, it will offer goodies as ubuntu on windows and I do my part to curb fragmentation. "The devil you know" attitude is something that has plagued things like Internet infrastructure for a long time, with dire consequences.

I do get why people don't want to update in some cases though, but I have a harder time to seeing a good reason for the backlash.

Since you seem to know the industry well, what are the top resources (of any kind) to study the current state of online advertising for an advanced audience?

Microsoft's can wish that everybody updated to the current version, but fantasies that aren't based in reality usually remain a fantasy.

There are a large variety of reasons to not upgrade, or upgrade later. Pretending these use cases don't exist or that they should ignore their own requirements just because Microsoft (or any other vendor) would find it convenient is a demonstration of how little they care about their users.

This push to force everyone into a monoculture has been so successful (lol), it has increased[1] the market share of Windows 7*.

> who can blame them

Their customers that expected a well engineered product, but are instead handed an ultimatum to accept new features, new bugs, new incompatibilities, and an order to upgrade at the vendor's convenience.

The point is to server the customer's needs, not the vendor's convenience.

I am missing one important argument in this discussion:

CSS only design is an important piece of a future web with reduced security and privacy threads.

The (interesting) model of allowing remote code execution per default was a beautiful, but naive vision. We have to make big advances in technology, politics and society to make this model work in a way that does not make internet users victims by default. We are not there yet. Reality is: the crooks destroyed that vision and are advantaged by the current situation, while all internet users are being trapped in their first moment of browser usage without their consent or knowledge.

For many use cases, (e.g. government websites, banking, anything where you type in your name) css-only design should become a requirement by law to protect the user until we figured out how to write secure software that respects user privacy and how to form governments that will respect their citizens (possibly will take longer). Until then browser vendors should implement more and better possibilities for CSS that help to avoid JavaScript whenever possible.

I very much like JS animations and stuff happening in the browser window, also there are some edge cases where JS brings some important advancements to a UI, but we have to face that privacy and security are much more important issues than having a nice UI and we have to change the current situation, as we, as programmers, are responsible for it.

The "remote-execution-by-default" experiment has failed, we need to change that, and CSS is a great way to go on with a web that might be less problematic for everyone, but still offers very nice usage experiences.
There's a huge compounding economics of scale effect for kids. Not only do consumables become cheaper in bulk but there's more opportunities to reuse. Three boys two years apart can all ride in the same car seats, wear the same clothes, ride the same bikes and use the same baseball gloves. I recall my brother (7yr younger) wearing shirts I wore in grade school after getting them from cousins that weren't the same cousins we gave them to. If the time between children is very little or they're not all the same gender (preferably boys, hand me down everything doesn't fly with girls for the most part) the "unit cost" goes up.

In a lot of middle class families teenage sons wind up learning skills that their fathers don't have so the net loss can go down in those years.

The way financial aid for college "works" (quotes indicate sarcasm) is you basically get told what you can pay and schools make at least a token effort (depending on the marketability of your kid, e.g black jewish straight-A D1 athlete majoring in something trendy gets more aid than an average white dude getting average grades in an average major) to try and not exceed that. If you can pay X and have Y kids in school then supposedly you pay X/Y for each kid in college. After adjusting for reality it's probably north of X/(Y+something) but the point is that it's cheaper than if you had two kids 4+yr apart and are only ever paying tuition for one at a time.
It took me hours to get my Office 365 subscription resolved with Microsoft support. took talking to 3 different people who kept insisting on remotely accessing my PC, which even when they did they still couldn't fix it. Actually one of them told me that my subscription was a "trial version" when it was clearly not. In the end I managed to talk via email to a person who knew what they were talking about it and resolved the issue in a few minutes. I got the worst impression of Microsoft's support as a paying customer.

It's all too late.

If you are already depending on Google for email, contacts, map services, identification services(Google Plus login, Google Identity platform), then it is very hard to change the status quo. One problem is the compatibility/migration, another is lack of quality open-source/private solutions. Google gives you everything free so you wouldn't want to migrate to a paid service.

As an experiment, I tried de-activating my Facebook account, and I was surprised to realize that I am also losing half of my contacts (on Facebook Messager) and half of my music collection (on Spotify, with Facebook sign-in, which cannot be transferred to an email-only account).

I wrote a blog post on this issue and how to avoid being dependent, but the alternatives would not be applicable to Google products:

Re point 2:

I get where you're coming from. The fact is, that margins on ads are incredibly small. Additionally, the % of people clicking on an ad is understandably low. Usually you get a CTR of 0.3% to 0.6% which for smaller, unpopular content providers isn't much. However, it is often just about enough to make ends meet. The problem is that low popularity is not enough to make anything additional or to even call it a business. With lower popularity you are indeed better off exploring other options like Patreon or well-targeted sponsorships. However, i was mainly talking about SME - type of content providers. Those with 2 to 5 people actually working as a "business". In the end, everyone notices the repercussions of adblocking, but i meant who is actually affected by it so badly that it puts their existence at risk. The lone streamer or blogger will notice it, but for him/her its so low anyways that it doesnt make that big of a difference anyways. The medium sized teams notice it, and for them it might just cut away their small margins so that they are now in the minus and can no longer sustain an actual business. The large corporations/companies certainly notice it, but they can sustain themselves although they are the ones fighting back the most, since they have the resources.

Having been on the receiving end of charitable laptop donations (working at a school in the Third World), I fully understand and sympathize with this 5-year-rule. You wouldn't believe what kind of crappy old laptops get donated - absolutely useless stuff. All too often, the only thing you gain out of a well-meant donation is the hassle of disposing of a piece of junk. Of course there are still laptops that are older than five years and still work fine, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
