>Goes to show how much irrationality there is in the evolvement of web standards.

Well, for one E4X was never adopted by other browsers that mattered, only Mozilla.

Second, it's main use was for working with XML, which the web is glad we got rid of.
Yes, and what's particularly irrational is that CSS found it necessary to invent a new key/value syntax.
Then developers wanted to make sense of the mess by declaring "markup is for content, while CSS is for presentation". But the "separation of concerns" argument is merely an after-the-fact justification for the existence of the HTML/CSS separation. In the original markup language concept, attributes were specifically introduced to hold presentation attributes, while content was encoded as element content.

The content/presentation dichotomy doesn't hold water in a philosophical sense either. Many text pieces (such as poems, but also modern text forms) require special presentation. But what was particularly absurd is to invent a new syntax for key/values.
Ask HN: Contact Clients Through Viber Public Accounts for Businesses
Is it possible for a business with a distribution list of clients (phone numbers) to contact the client through Viber? Does the client has to start the conversation first(by following or sending a message to the public account). If yes, is it possible to send an invitation link to the client by some other channel to accept messages from the Viber public account?
I would appreciate any info on the subject as it seems very confusing online if actively contacting the client through Viber is possible or not.
I got into doing IBM mainframe stuff by becoming certified by IBM as a DB2 DBA on AIX/HPUX/Solaris OS, i.e. IBM, HP & Sun *nix systems. The block mode operations on mainframes quickly drove me away. After decades of experience with interactive systems, block mode was a rude step backwards. Mind you my experience was with "traditional" IBM mainframe OS, e.g. MVS. I did dabble with Linux on 370's and it was a pain doing Unix commands using block-mode.

Mind you, all of the above was quite a few years ago. Things may have changed since.
What an annoying piece of cock rot.

The author attempts to establish a false dichotomy between Scientists (author's capitalization) telling the Truth (implied capitalization) in their own precious snowflake time, versus the Truth (implied capitalization) never ever ever ever coming to light.

No argument is advanced to support the idea that scientists possessing snowflake secrecy increases epistemological veracity. In addition the narrative reeks of the worst form of fetishism of the scientific milieux.

How passive are you looking for here?

There's a biiiiig difference between genuinely passive "no work required; cash just turns up", 1-4 hr a month maintenance-mode businesses, the classic 4 hour work week, and even (I've seen people refer to this as "passive income") 1-2 hours a day side-businesses.

Good point. And those who have been discriminated against internalize it. It is the water they have been swimming in their whole lives, so it takes a concerted effort from everyone to become more aware of how these biases operate if we wish to turn things in a more egalitarian direction.
>I'm not a fan of BEM either. It terribly feels like over-engineering and ignores certain principles of CSS.

It's actually under-engineering (a brute force, hacky solution), and it ignores those principles of CSS (cascading for one) on purpose because they have been historically found to be more harm than good.
Probably not happening, since private and unlisted videos have plenty of non Patreon uses as well.

For example, some people use unlisted videos in thei Ycombinator or startup accelerator applications. Or on pages on their own sites where the video merely compliments the content and is useless on its own.

Removing that sort of thing seems illogical.
Slow moving enterprises in technology world are an age old phenomena. Even - long established, waterfall pattern following - enterprises are acknowledging this and speeding up their cycles. In the current world of fast pace technology, one cannot justify by giving such examples.
On your last point about installing software: I've used Ubuntu and Fedora, and finally settled on Arch ~4 years ago. Interestingly, although Arch has a reputation of being a "DIY" distribution (in the sense that it targets power users), I've had way more trouble installing software on Ubuntu and Fedora than on Arch.

Arch has what is called the Arch User Repository (AUR). It's a repository of recipes for building all kinds of software, and it's submitted and maintained by the users, not maintainers of the distro itself. Whenever there's a package missing in the official repositories, I almost always find it in the AUR. AUR has no binary builds---instead, you download files and scripts needed to build the software from source. You then run the makepkg utility, and you get a package you can install. (There are also helper programs which automate this whole process for you.) The result is that the package manager tracks the files properly, and you can keep track of which version you have, can remove the software cleanly, and update it whenever you like.

Today, when I'm at a Ubuntu box, it's a pain in the ass to install some less-known software. I can download the sources and then try to build, and I usually succeed, but not before I've figured out the right flags, prefixes, build-time and run-time dependencies, etc. I also get questions pertaining to this from my friends that have recently switched to Linux, and I don't really have a solution to offer. Yes, there are PPAs, but more often than not, PPAs are outdated and are binary-only, meaning you can't really review how the binary packages came about.

AUR really solves the problem nicely. I'd like to see such a concept in another, more beginner-friendly distribution, that I can then recommend to people around me who are considering making the switch.

I love that you asked this question! The very reason it doesn't happen often is because of friction inherent to legacy payment systems.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what is meant by "international payment", but surely for a majority of people this is just an irrelevance? I can't imagine my parents have ever needed to make an international payment, for instance.

I have an employee in Iran and my goodness was it hard to work out how to pay him (Iranian banks don't have SWIFT and IBAN and helpful things like that), and Bitcoin did actually seem like a legitimate option at one point, until we realised that between business banking and accounting, it was also going to be really hard to do - so I would love for this new wave of currencies to make international payments easier. But I just don't think it's of very much significance to many people in the grand scheme of things. 54% of Americans apparently don't have a passport; are these people really going to be making regular international payments, more than about once a lifetime?

(The significant number of "digital nomads" on HN who work from a beach in Thailand are really not representative!)

However, if we're taking "international payment" to mean "an easy way to take out/spend money when you're on holiday without getting stung by exchange rates and assorted complexities" then I will certainly grant you that this would be broadly regarded as a mainstream benefit (though, again, I guess those 54% of Americans would probably disagree).
>I love CSS, I wonder why it is not an universal standard used to define GUIs in other contexts like native mobile apps, or desktop apps.

Vault 7 Leaks: CIA Dumbo Project Hijacking Webcams and Microphones
IIRC ada can return variable sized objects on the stack.
More or less, except that the reason Bitcoin Cash happened is that SegWit seems almost certain to be activated at this point as a result of interesting political wranglings. The other subtle detail is that older nodes see a stripped version of SegWit blocks with the "witness" parts of the transactions removed, and it's this block that they apply the 1MB limit to. So while the signatures technically aren't part of a seperate block, they're not part of the main block either. This is why the non-witness part of transactions has to count as being more expensive.

> That relies on the premise that immigration of "ordinary" people is somehow detrimental to the existing US population.

How so?
Where do you draw a line between a "remote file manager" and "software whose purpose is to access data without authorization"?
If you accept the premise that immigration itself should be limited to a finite quantity (per time period, say per year), it's not a leap to reason that importing highly skilled people is better for the economy than low skilled people.

Low skilled immigrants compete against low skilled workers that are already here and depress their wages. High skilled workers do the same thing but at the top end with the added advantage of generating more tax dollars and GDP (since they have more income).

At its core the question becomes: Is immigration a public policy to benefit those that are here (ie strengthen economy, unify familial bonds) or a charity offered to the rest of the world?

> I started doing web development around 1999 or a bit earlier

> which means you lose style separation

A key difference in that spread of time is that back then it was all about pages where now it is a mix of pages and applications. In an interactive application separating style from content becomes less important, sometimes adding detrimental complexity in the name of trying to be "pure".

It is still very relevant for actual pages that are about content, and there are many instances of content being lost in the mire of people treating what should be simple pages as if they are complex applications, but...

While content first, then basics, then add bells as optional extras, is still a worthwhile ideal and can save time & effort long term, it can consume more time short term and often people don't want to risk asking the world to wait for them!

Coinbase could easily avoid, or be unable to, provide BCH balances to their bitcoin holding customers.

There's no telling how Coinbase operates internally. You can't just assume that 1 customer == 1 permanent bitcoin address in Coinbase's backend. Perhaps they shift funds around all the time into new addresses, without keeping references/keys to the old ones. In that case, BCH balances would be lost, with no way to restore them to the 'owner' at the time of the fork.

Luckily (for would-be BCH holders) that seems to not be the case, but I think Coinbase deserves credit for going the extra mile when they could justifiably say that it is not their problem to deal with.

This is an excellent point. Also sometimes during an election, there are referendums or other races for positions that are overshadowed by the main race, e.g. Trump v Clinton, making it hard to make an informed decision on the spot like is possible when at home with access to a computer to research.
What bugs me about the direction Keybase is going is that they still have not implemented a way of disabling the ability for users to send me encrypted messages.

I do not want Keybase to hoard encrypted messages I will never be able to read because I do not want to install their application on my computer. My Github issue for this has gone largely ignored:

https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/2808

I am thinking I am long overdue to placeholder my account until this is solved. I already have 10 encrypted messages I will never be able to read. I joined Keybase as a public key repository with external verification support, not for them to store private conversations -- encrypted or not.
Could you give me an example of what makes it too complex and maybe an example of a system that is simpler?
Seems a bit harsh to describe immigration of people who are prepared to work and support themselves as "charity offered to the rest of the world".

Edit: To be fair - I can see the argument for a supply of immigrant low skill workers potentially keeping wages depressed hitting existing US residents and while it might be good for the wealthy and businesses it might not be good for the majority. I'm in the UK and these arguments are very similar to those covered in the Brexit campaigns and while I voted Remain and I've since come to appreciate more of the arguments on the other side.

How to Become a Great UX/UI Designer in 5 Easy Steps
That was my suspicion. Reminds me of "one internet please"...
They absolutely would do both of those things.

A world where Bitcoin was the default currency would rob nations of control over their own monetary policy, which is one of the most important tools for controlling the economy. Not to mention we'd be living in a world of persistent deflation (due to the ceiling on the maximum number of Bitcoins) which would have interesting consequences on the economy too.

The only cryptocurrencies that would be allowed to gain widespread usage would be those controlled by the central banks.
Is that a rational argument or an emotional argument?

XHTML and everything associated with it. Well okay, it's probably already considered dead, since HTML 5 has replaced in it about 95% of contexts.

Turns out most people didn't want a web where a single syntax error could bring down a web page and went to the more relaxed HTML 5 the minute it was released.

And while they won't die as far as their main purpose is concerned, I suspect webfonts will become a lot less popular in future. The idea of using them for icons has turned out to be a non semantic nightmare that's best done with SVG or plain old images instead. So the likes of Fontastic may not be long for this world...

My Favourite Noam Chomsky Quote on Education
“The whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don't know how to be submissive, and so on -- because they're dysfunctional to the institutions.”

Can this be some kind of a contextual reference to the fact that because entrepreneurs are naturally pretty ambitious or rebellious they go on to form their own institutions rather than try and fit into an existing institution of any kind ?

Thoughts ?
I'm sure there was a Clancy book about this. Maybe it even got made into a film!

the same can be said for the paper ballots that are never used. Voter turnout is never 100%.

As an example faking even 10% of the abstained votes would have swayed the brexit results.

I don't see how this makes online voting insecure, fake paper ballot risk has always been there and has been deemed to be a mitigated risk.
Do Something Useless
Morphine can be administered IV too, in which case its effects will be felt immediately. If taken orally, it generally takes around 40 minutes to be felt, the same as for most opioids when taken orally. Do you have a source for fentanyl lollipops acting faster than that?

Also, you say it lacks some of the side effects of morphine - do you have a source for that too? Morphine causes respiratory depression, histamine release, constipation, nausea, loss of libido, inability to orgasm;
actually, any opioid that doesn't recruit beta-arrestin (such as mitragynine) will have much the same side effects.
In my experience it exists so that lazy recruiters can relentlessly spam users with completely irrelevant job vacancies based on odd keywords that appear in their profiles.

A year ago I made the transition from contract developer to employer and therefore have a lot of "developer" keywords and experience on there. My profile makes it very clear that I'm busy running a business and not looking for entry-level contract positions. It also clearly says "no agencies" in the contact details. I still get multiple messages and connection requests from clueless recruiters playing the numbers game to the point where the site actually has a net negative value to me due to wasted time.

Still, I'll probably go check it out now that I've been reminded that it exists... If only to go and clear out my inbox again.
