Agreed. He does not sound like the austrians i know. Except the sex thing, i really dont get that ether.
Yes, let's crack down on porn and make it a taboo again, that way when kids grow up into young adults they can have no idea what they're doing and catch their STDs they way it's meant to.

In fact, let's protect kids from anything minimally shocking on the internet so they can grow up super sensitive to anything people do.

Any examples? I've been working with RN for the past few months and it's been pretty good. Only issues where I had to do some native wrapping were around background location polling and a client using a Microsoft websocket clone called signalr. Those things slowed me down.

The censorship is a blacklist, not a whitelist. You try reviewing all content added to YouTube in realtime and then decide what effect cooperation has on censorship via black listing. Even media companies armed with the DMCA cannot fully censor YouTube via blacklists in the form of DMCA takedown notices. Furthermore, YouTube is just one example.

However, it makes for a fantastic analogy. The MPAA would be thrilled if YouTube and every other video sharing site on the internet would just shut down. That is effectively what the Chinese censors experienced when foreign companies refused to cooperate. That is not just true for videos either, but that is where the MPAA analogy breaks down.

By the way, I had edited my post for clarity before I saw your reply. Your question might have already been answered by my clarifications.

Are you sure they gave you the right reason? Or do they want the user to input the data, so they can use it for some other analysis?
So did you use a written note in your wallet or a password manager on your smartphone (from which you can read it)? What did you or the average colleague do?
I don't like when the idea is taken to extreme and parents force their kids to get as far as possible as young as possible. For example young pop stars competitions and similar. After all brilliant people don't always get the credit they deserve during their lifetime, e.g Tesla (died alone in hotel room talking to pigeons), Mozart (buried in unmarked grave), Lavoisier (executed in French revolution), list goes on and on
It is more along the line "we like drugs, let's not plebs have it. we like porn, let's not plebs have it" and so on...
What's more concerning is the proposed route (via the BBFC) seems likely to return the UK to obscenity rules of the 80s. That means uncontroversial legal acts could be blocked too.

From the rather more in depth Guardian piece[1] on the topic "A spokeswoman for the BBFC said it would also check whether sites host “pornographic content that we would refuse to classify”.

“In making this assessment, we will apply the standards that we apply to pornography that is distributed offline,” she said. “If a website fails on either of these [age verification or obscene content] tests then a notification of non-compliance will be sent to the site.”

The scariest line was this:

"Terrorists and serious criminals will always seek to avoid detection."

The fact that in the public eye they're going to be claiming they are doing this under terrorism, will give a lot of weight with non-technical people.

>Seems like more choices, the better.

In most cases that's true, but we have the same problem as the US: It's the same two parties that keep winning elections (CDU and SPD) and nowadays they're more like one party, because they got used to running things together.

Their methods of fighting upcoming parties are borderline illegal and sometimes clearly illegal (rigged votes), but nobody cares. They twist some words, give stupid excuses and the issues are not being looked into any further.
The linked article seems to be misleading on the true purpose of the research.

The source: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/354/6312/aaf5239

From the source:

The random-impact rule allows us to develop a quantitative model, which systematically untangles the role of productivity and luck in each scientific career.

The model predicts that truly high-impact discoveries require a combination of high Q and luck (p) and that increased productivity alone cannot substantially enhance the chance of a very high impact work.

(Paraphrased) Where Q = Capability of scientist and potential impact of the chosen problem.

> Application developers (overwhelming majority of Python users) had to wait for the libraries to get over to Python 3.

And, in the mean time, they were stuck with a language ecosystem which entirely stagnated; while there are some benefits to working with a "stale" language, this was even worse: it isn't like "the C language is no longer going to change, but gcc gets better every year, with better error messages and faster compilation and improved code generation", but "the developers of Python have decided to spend years working on something which you can't port to yet because you are blocked on libraries and libraries are blocked on tooling and language fixes, and in the mean time have gotten pretty damned hostile towards users of Python 2 and constantly claim that whatever the most recent release of 2.7 is is going to be the last one ever so people had better start moving"... and a lot of the people I knew who had been using Python have thereby moved alright, but they moved to Go, Rust, Clojure, or Elixir, and they aren't coming back to Python given that the language is really only slightly better than it was five years ago while these other languages have been going in really interesting places. And yes: there are some people using Python 3 now, but interestingly it seems to be an entirely different group of people, such as data scientists, than the people who were using Python 2: when was the last time you heard about a big website being developed using Python? You don't: that era ended when Python 3000 was announced.
A small amount of pessimism is healthy, but something being really simple is often preferable. A key here is good abstraction. Take for example a file system, witch is very easy to use, but still useful for computer experts.
I would say that the words 'science' and 'bible' do not go well together. The books mentioned in the answers are all worth looking at, but they take you only up to the foothills of the discipline and are no substitute for reading widely and working things out on your own.

A few commenters are already saying this is the thin end of the wedge, or that any sites that don't strongly identify UK users will be effected. Realistically this isn't going to happen.

The UK government often come out with annoucements like this; and pretty rapidly retreat when they realise that their proposals are impractical, or just let the idea die quietly.

ISPs don't want to do this, and the BBFC (a not particularly high-tech organisation of less than a hundred people) don't have the capability to issue these notices on any significant scale, either manually or using machine learning. Does anyone know how much extra funding they're being offered to do this job?

(edited to add the obviously missing word "don't" in the first sentence)
Hydro is the main provider for sure, and like in the case of Iceland made the whole thing possible when solar was more expensive and less efficient. Numbers from the link in my comment above:

> Three hydroelectric generators produce electricity from running water. The biggest hydro above at Laig on the west side of the island is 100kW, with two smaller 5-6kW hydros on the east side.

> Four small 6kW wind turbines below An Sgurr

> 50kW Photovoltaic array producing electricity from the sun.

> Although the capacity of the scheme is around 184kW, not all renewable resources produce their maximum output all the time or at the same time.

I think this means that solar would provide 27% of their total coverage if everything was running at full capacity (which never happens). Long summer days with low cloud coverage at time of low wind makes solar an important part of their summer mix.

They're also experimenting with using solar on homes to heat water to see how much much less fuel they burn.

>The sun can be used to heat water instead of fuel. Solar panels are being installed by islanders on three homes on Eigg to test how much less fuel is being burnt, and how much money is saved.
It's this kind of shit that makes me hate living here. The UK feels so backwards, I often want to leave - maybe I will? It just gets me so frustrated.

But, I know that anywhere I would go will probably already (or soon) have similar policies. I don't even want to be on this damned planet, argh! Just far away from the "people in power" who keep coming up with these things.

It's not even about porn, it's just the idea of age verification being required to access _any_ kind of site.
It's not like porn educates about sex or STDs. Your argument is invalid, even though I agree with your standpoint in general.
I think that the only question this study answers is "is a follow-up study with a better methodology required" and the answer is yes.

This study points out an interesting sociological dynamics we do not understand fully (pardon my ignorance here as I did no verify if there actually exists a better study) and looking further into it would only create more confusion and possible false assumptions.
as a few people have mentioned, NearlyFreeSpeech.net is my static host of choice. i use them for static blogs (jekyll built) and they work perfectly. non static sites get charged at 1c per day (and you get a MySQL instance for about 1c a day, give or take), and static has no charge per day. you are billed for bandwidth and storage, and can have multiple sites in one account. SSH/SFTP access available also.
dreamhost.

I manage all my sites there. Never had any issues with them, there is SSH access too so I recently set up a Hugo bitbucket pipeline which builds my personal website and rysncs it to dreamhost.

They were very fast to add lets encrypt support, so all that stuff is taken care automagically. Reliability is very good.
Maybe it's a way to deny them agency and therefore moral responsibility for the results of their actions?

20 under 20 should be countered by someone funding 50 over 50.

Disrupt the SV age bias by taking 50 experienced professionals, and giving them the freedom and resources to do whatever they like.
They should have required proper guiding when creating a new password. I normally use passwords that are like 80 characters long, generated in a password manager. If I paste one of these in a password field, then submit, I get the warning that it's too long. Why didn't it say so when I pasted it? Why put a limit on it below 256 characters? Does that really matter nowadays? It's not a 5MB selfie I'm uploading.

The limitions of the password should be built in the HTML of the form like a regex or something easier.
This is an interesting take on schemas in json. Is the big advantage that this provides additional data validation (on top of type validation?) Can there be custom transforms written in javascript?
Won't these attempts to "frustrate" just result in even more draconian laws?
middleman -> s3 -> cloudfront. About $0.15/mo.

Pros: Generally works well, speedy enough, free ssl with Cloudfront, cheap for many sites (most hosts charge per site which catches me out for little projects). I've mostly got the process figured out now...

Cons: not easy or quick to set up, lots of steps to get right, AWS is a terrible UI, Cloudfront invalidations are apparently sent by carrier pigeon so asset hashing is a must, even then it can take a while to see your site updates

I've noticed a high mortality rate among static hosting sites, particularly those "just add files to Dropbox and we publish your site" services. Static hosting services are to ops people what todo list apps are to frontend designers

Also, to your point: you can't, by definition, run php on a static site.

In my anecdotal, non-scientific experience, a lot of students who go to a university out of state may indeed leave that state upon graduation, but not often to return to their home state, often other states instead. So I don't see a big disadvantage to the methodology.

It's hard because very few people know these things are going on. I'm in the UK, and I don't think I've seen this story (or similar stories like Snooper's Charter) being discussed on any TV news outlet.
Democracy is just another form of tyranny. It's just the best we've found so far. Instead of a group of hundreds dictating the lives of everyone else, we at least have a plurality of the population dictating how the rest of us live, and every once in a while the people receiving the dictates get to become the dictators. There's gotta be something better out there. Perhaps having thousands of nation states with freedom of movement between them all? That ways you can pick and choose what rules you want to live under?
Interesting but with no mention of json patch in the alternatives. I'm not sure why this project would be better.
Sure, but mine provides HTTP API. It can be used with zero configuration and tinkering - see Heroku Deploy button and Dockerfile. And it is battle tested for year and a half across various projects. It keeps running 2 PhantomJs instances by default to avoid startup time penalty, cycles these instances regularly to prevent memory leaks. I use PDFify to generate invoices and legal documents. In my use cases, for quite simple HTML documents with no Javascript and embedded images my server median response time is 61ms. Because of that I convert HTML to PDF on the fly for each request.
I host my static stuff (with my own domains) at FastMail, it's included in my "standard" plan. Upload is possible via FTP and DAV, the quota is currently 5GB disk space, 2GB or 80K files daily traffic.
IIRC I think the name is because they allow a lot of content that other hosts may shy away from.
Another vote for AWS S3 + CloudFront here.

We also have a distributed team updating and looking after our website, and we use BitBucket as our git repo. Recently implemented their Pipelines feature to auto update the S3 bucket and refresh CloudFront resources with any changes pushed to the repo.

Makes it really easy now - just a 'git push' and Bam!, the website is updated and CloudFront auto invalidates all the old assets and starts serving up the new stuff. Really smooth.
I use Nginx either on my basement server (I have 50/50 fiber internet at home) or I use one of my digital ocean droplets, which can be as cheap as 5$ a month, that is less than my server at home uses in power. A Raspberry pi would also suffice if there is not too much traffic I guess, that would cost you about 10€ a year in power. Running a whole server means there is no limit to the amount of sites you can run (apart from memory and bandwidth of course.)

Both my servers (DO vps and basement) run Ubuntu 16.04, I use PHP-fpm for PHP, domains I purchase at a local registrar (.nl domains are about 10€/year), for ssl I use lets encrypt. For simple sites I always use Bootstrap for the css.

FTP is implicit if you count SFTP as FTP (FTP over SSH). Under Linux SFTP is mounted as easily as any network share.

At home I run a Nextcloud instance and share some directories as Nginx roots, that means I can locally (even on my phone) edit a static web page and it is synced immediately to the webserver's root folder. This can be quite convenient.
Besides the sibling comments, this is how Lisp, Smalltalk, Ada and Eiffel environments work.

Even C++ had such tools in the past via Energize C++ and VisualAge for C++ v.40.

Microsoft is now kind of following this path with /fastlink and improved database backend for code metadata.

How will they enforce this against foreign VPNs? Especially if those VPNs allow for payment via things like Bitcoin.
Couldn't agree more. If you really think about it, Javascript is the transform language for JSON.
Very impressive. This has some features we've been missing in bitbucket/gitlab/github and it looks like the UI is well thought out and still simple.

The IDE-like source parsing is interesting, and I disagree with some of the other commenters here that that should only exist in an IDE, but the java limitation makes that just a novelty for us.

Particularly though the gerrit-style workflow and the rules engine for permissions is enticing. We'd love to move to something like gerrit but don't want to give up the friendliness of bitbucket/github.

Nice job.
Wordpress.com or Blogger.com

Fully operational, all the important stuff (text editors, analytics, pictures hosting...), nice themes, well indexed by google, zero maintenance, free, and unlimited traffic.

I run blogs so obviously it is particularly appropriate. But that works as well for small static sites with a couple pages.

Why Native Apps Really Are Doomed: Native Apps Are Doomed Pt 2
I think this is because Tesla/SolarCity/SpaceX has this philosophy of versatility of components. They want to have one and only one energy storage technology and produce it at scale. This also one reason for the Tesla/SolarCity merger: you can use the same building block and scale it up.

SpaceX is doing the same: use one rocket motor on booster and upper stage, and mass produce it. In contrast Ariane uses three different motors on one rocket.

Check out the s3_website Docker container by attensee. We have it in our BitBucket pipeline, so that any push to the hosted repo will automatically copy the latest updates to our S3 bucket AND invalidate the respective assets quite quickly.

Any website refresh our developer in the US does now is usually available to look at within a minute here in Australia.
So where is the conversation about that?

If this measure will not catch the very people it is intending to catch, what is its purpose?
Show HN: A DigitalOcean-like support community for your website in 3 minutes
My original point was that machine learning is not something that the average person can apply in his or her own business yet. Yes, big tech companies use it to improve their operations, but a small business owner can't define what would even be an applicable ML problem for their business yet. Millions of small businesses have websites, and even their own custom software, yet ML is still out of reach for many of these business. This is where I think a huge impact can, but has yet, to be made.

Wow, 1MHz.

That demo looks pretty cool and rather refined, yeah - the colors are indeed well-balanced. The galaxy sidescrolling does appear to be pushing the machine's limits; with that in mind the mouth animation is very smooth. I'd admittedly add at least one extra mouth-movement frame and randomly switch between them for more realistic lo-fi animation, I'd make the text sequences advance about 25% faster, and I'm not sure if the text was traditionally at the top but I kept looking for it at the bottom (where subtitles/closed captions usually live).
