I'm shocked how Pintrest gets away with spamming Google images with dead end links to sign up forms as an on-boarding mechanism.

I search images these days and I click a result only to be thrown into a Pintrest on-boarding flow and unable to get the image I wanted.

Honestly think they should be banned from Image Search results.
> we cannot call abusers abusers because it will hurt their feelings

Black people are overrepresented in crime statistics in the US. Calling all black people criminals will not only hurt them, it is racism. Immigrants are also highly overrepresented in crime statistics here in Sweden, and calling them all criminals would be nationalistic and racist.

> ... What?

And this is why both EU and US political landscape has changed in the last 20 years. The inability to empathize with people that need help is in my view the biggest cause of harm in politics and reason why it becomes polarized. A person i need is a person in need, regardless of skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or what other demographic you can put them in.

> even normalizing for economic status

Normalizing for economic status removes the wast difference in crime demographic data. It is the single biggest factor, dwarfing any other attribute. If you provide data and only a single attribute then social economical status is a better predictor than anything else combined. This fact is so established that the Swedish government has taken rather extreme stance where they refuse to issue any new reports on the subject since any non-social economical attributes are just considered noise in the system. The second or third biggest attributes, regardless which ones they are, can only be political abused in order to not focus (and funding) solutions to the biggest one.

> folks need to admit they're part of a system perpetrating wrongdoing

The beauty with addressing social economical status is that you do not need to force black people (or in the case in my nation, immigrants) to admit that they belong to a group of criminals. Rather you create general moral rules which empathize with people in need. Black people are not part of some system perpetrating black people doing crime, and demanding that black people as a group need to take responsible for black people crime is just an other form of collective punishment.

> rich unfairly treating the poor, as you imply

Also called class society and is a core tenet of left politics.

> 'm not sure how your response here addressed my criticism about electing super rich white men

If we want diversity in experience and perspective then companies (and politics) should look at the rich part of your statement, not the white men part for which your comment exclusively talked about. To ignore the social economical aspect is to pretend it doesn't exist.

Just consider the practical consequences of inequality:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_inequality#Effects

There is a lot of information there along the general lines of inequality is bad, which shouldn't be surprising. If you spend $1m of raw resources on building a bigger house, there is no benefit to society; theoretically it might incentivise somebody, but it's probably just pure waste.

I would also be interested in a citation, but it does make sense; if tracking dots is well known (which they are), and it was easy to circumvent by just removing yellow toner, anyone somewhat technically adept would just remove their toner before printing their illegal documents.
Frankly it has been the case for years already.

We keep coming up with ever more exotic reasons for not retiring the x86 hegemony for home computing, but the core one that we are loath to acknowledge is legacy software.

WinTel sticks around because anything else means a wholesale replacement of every program ever bought.

Even Intel failed against that beast when they tried to push Itanium, and it was not even a desktop product.

Similarly FOSS have a hard time getting a foothold because devs keep breaking backwards compatibility on a whim (and no, Flatpak et al is not a solution. It is lipstick on a pig).

Income inequality is probably not the best measure. The thing I'd really like to see is a good study of income mobility across 3 or more generations. But inequality can act as a proxy for mobility. Check this:

So now that we have organized our thinking, let us consider the empirical evidence. Most famously, it comes from the recent work of Miles Corak, building on previous studies by Gary Solon, Blunden, Gregg and Macmillan, Björklund and Jäntti and others. What these authors find is that there is a strong correlation between current and inter-generational inequality, or in other words, between inequality and low social mobility: the more unequal the society the less likely is the next generation to move upwards (or conversely, the less likely is the decline of the rich). So in terms of our simple diagram, Corak finds that societies are aligned along the diagonal: there are no outliers, whether the societies exhibiting the American dream or the guild-like ones.

The implication of that finding which was dubbed by Alan Krueger the Great Gatsby curve is that there is no American exceptionalism. The comforting picture of high inequality which does not impede mobility between generations turns out to be false. US does not behave any differently than other societies with high inequality. High income inequality today reinforces income differences between the generations and makes social mobility more difficult to achieve. This is also the point of my recent paper with Roy van der Weide. We use US micro data from 1960 to 2010 to show that poor people in US states with higher initial inequality experienced lower income growth in subsequent periods).

I found that Google actually works better without Javascript. It's much more like the Google of old (c.1998).

One significant enhancement (w/o JS) is that you can type something in the search bar without losing your current results while you're typing.
Given how often the common internals between MacOS and iOS is paraded around, you can bet your ass they have.

Heck, iOS 11 seems to be one serious transition point in that regard.
I see same problem in academia too, there are a lot of methods to "motivate" grad student I will write few subtle methods which I saw: From default excuse "There are project(scientific, product type, whatever) 'almost done', need few fixes and there will be easy money and you are super skilled, nobody can do this job and etc...", but in reality few fixes mean 80-90% of job and deadlines/delays can take unlimited unpaid time (depends how unlucky you are, but milking won't stop nicely). If got less luck goes like this with signed contracts: There are "incompetent" manager (client side or you side) somewhere in pipeline which don't want go to court and want be nice for everybody (even when case is 100% win, i'm not usa based), but job needs to done and coincidently by you [your team] for free.
Still, if performance is actually comparable (for which I have my doubts) that means we could get ARM laptops which could easily sustain it.

In other words, systems set up against people doing bad things are also perfect for framing people inconvenient to the operators.

Yes - Like I said I think it's perfectly find that the material I download from the internet has terms and laws associated with it. That is, what I do with what I download is subject to laws as soon as I e.g. try to publish it.

One of my clients loads a 4.5 Mb bower.js (including Angular with a lot of components and jQuery), they also include an extra jQuery script, a full jQuery UI and several other scripts on each pageload. Nothing is minimized. The bower file alone has 300k in comments.

The CSS file is also nearly 1 Mb.

It's just a simple website with some forms.

They have 2 developers working on the site, a scrum master, a project manager and 2 testers but somehow they can't find the time to find out which legacy code they can remove.

It's only after I pointed out that they have an exceptionally high bouncerate on their (expensive) Adwords traffic and the slowest pageload time of all their main competitors that I managed to get some priority to optimize their site.

Serious question: are there any tools that can scan a full website for unused code and unused CSS?
I, for one, am constantly amazed by the performance of such mobile/small devices (regardless of type and model). However, shouldn't such a result also say something about the iMac (or any other "desktop" for that matter)? I mean, 5 years is not that much when it comes to performance; "shrinking" a desktop in 5 years (while keeping the performance) to such an extent seams unlikely.
Well the power wall has kind of set an upper bound on clock speed. (although kaby lakes can do 5GHz no problem which is pretty impressive) So until a fundamental breakthrough in heat extraction happens, were kinda left with only power efficiency and parallelism as ways to increase performance (which desktops have done). Mores law has still more or less held true thus far. I think ARM just had a long way to catch up but it will eventually hit physical barriers at some point and performance increases will slow.

Putting banners on the site or small statements at the top urging users to call their representatives is helpful, but if they really wanted to get the point across, Google, Amazon, etc could intentionally slow the traffic of representatives from DC involved in this bill. Better yet, Google should push their pages to the fifth page of search results or just delist them all together. Imagine the outcry if all the sudden, the Facebook and Twitter pages for these reps got "deprioritized." Tech companies have the ability to make an impactful statement like that, but instead we'll get a little blurb at the top of the site and business as usual.

Well, while I like what you can build with JS, I often don't like what people build. For example, npm makes it so easy to import megabytes as a dependency to your project while you might only need a few kilobytes. And some devs simply do not seem to care about that.

On the other hand, JS allows us to build great user interfaces which better to use than our old school point and click adventures we use to have. And if you do it right the performance is also ok, but it is also not so hard to fail and ruin the whole user experience by rendering the scene twice every frame ;-)

These threads are always depressing on HN. They reveal a worrying sociopathy that one can only hope is not reflective of a wider pattern and limited to a small subset of readers here.

This is why more power in the hands of SV companies like Google, Facebook and other VC funded startups become worrying as with power they will build a desolate soulless uncaring world.

Devaluing other human beings is like cutting the branch you sit on, you only devalue yourself. You can't build a healthy country or society without a collective and empathy. What happens during harder times?

One wonders if this is because of religious ideologies like calvinism and others in their ilk or some taking sociopathic ideologies by people like rand designed purely to appeal to egoistic individualism and the rich seriously.
I agree about it likely being a personal goal.

But when Dawn Wall was freed a couple of years ago it got a lot of coverage in the mainstream media [1]. I wonder whether that would be the case if, instead, it was done a year or so from now. Or would the fact that Caldwell and Jorgeson used ropes and protection mean that it was no longer extreme enough to be considered remarkable. Even though it was the outcome of a long-term project, would they have to solo it to get the same level of mainstream attention now?

Akonadi was the main reason why I ditched KMail for Thunderbird six years ago. I recently went back, and it's marginally better. But it's still pretty outrageous that a service that only gives one user-visible extra feature (mail checking and calendar reminders as a background service) costs 330 megabytes of RAM. Most of that for the MySQL instance that it's using; no idea why they have to use anything else than SQLite for a mailbox with maybe 100 mails. Stopping Akonadi is a thing that I just have to do before launching Minecraft on my notebook.

By science I mean the scientific method. Again, put up or shut up.

I cited the positive health effect of the last century as evidence that the scientific method has worked out well.

I am not ignoring that we have imperfect knowledge. That's why science isn't over. Ignoring our evidence based understanding and health improvement outcomes over a philosophical argument that our knowledge isn't complete (it never will be) is the definition of folly.

Ignorance is not an argument for more ignorance.

It's different both because I can easily live without a Google Home in modern society, but not without the internet, and because there is actual competition in the Home assistant/automation market, where there is none in the ISP market in much of the US.

The necessity of the underlying service being controlled is significantly different, to the point many see the Internet as a utility, and the actual ability of a consumer to make a decision is wildly different.

It's not becoming obsolete. Because of legacy code, docs and the fact the old behavior is still valid JS, beginners are still completely lost because of this bad design that never been fixed, only compensated by adding things.

Now add the fact that:

- the ecosystem is exploding like a holy grenade, only not as funny

- having to learn what "rebinding this in the closure's callback" is still core to the path to the language understanding.

- you have so many ways to do things, especially asynchronously, and yet no simple way to do simple stuff like removing an item from an array

- pre-processors are used everywhere and you have so many of them

- safari is becoming the new IE6

We are still very much paying the price of the terrible language that is Javascript.
It's not internet-wide.

They mention the FCC as if non-US citizens are supposed to know what that is. They ask for a zip code, without asking for a country. The phone number they listed will not work anywhere but in the US. The address listed in their privacy policy does not name a country.

All this leads me to believe that the people behind this think the Internet only exists in the US, or that they are not even aware there are other countries besides the US. Don't worry, you're not the one that's stupid here.
