When I lived in Vicksburg Mississippi, I got a lot of flack for my weird yankee (actually neutral midwestern) accent as well as typical northern stereotypes (and I’m a westerner, not even a real yankee). I guess you could say that should be expected from the less tolerant right, but it definitely goes both ways.

How is your comment relevant to this post? OP said s/he wants to delete facebook but failed to do so.
Android keeps pushing me away and IOS just keeps calling to me it seems....
I wrote an extended answer to this on Reddit a few weeks ago [0]. I'll paste it here for ease of reading:

JSX is not required. Literally, all you need is to include script tags for `react.js` and `react-dom.js`, and then you write "raw" `React.createElement()` calls.

However, most people find that to be too repetitive. So, the "default" approach is to use JSX syntax, which converts `<MyComponent a={1} b="blah">Text</MyComponent>` into `React.createElement(MyComponent, {a : 1, b : "blah"}, "Text")`.

Yes, JSX requires a transformation/compiler step. As I said earlier, a typical "real" app needs build tools to bundle anyway, and you're probably targeting a variety of browsers but don't want to restrict yourself to the least common denominator subset of JS syntax, so you're probably already using a transpiler too.

But, if you truly don't want to use JSX for whatever reason, there's plenty of choices:

- Write raw `React.createElement()` calls by hand

- Alias `React.createElement()` as `h()` so it's shorter

- Use a functional VDOM wrapper generation library like `react-hyperscript-helpers` (https://github.com/Jador/react-hyperscript-helpers/).

- Use a runtime JS templating library like Dominic Gannaway's `t7` templates(https://github.com/trueadm/t7)

- Use an actual separate templating library, like `react-templates`(https://github.com/wix/react-templates) or `handlebars-react`(https://github.com/stevenvachon/handlebars-react)

Almost everyone chooses to use JSX. The docs use JSX. Tutorials across the internet use JSX. It's the accepted approach. But, it's not _required_. You do not _need_ it. There are other options. It's your choice.

I would like to move away, but the issue I'm running into is the amount of services/sites/etc I've signed up with using my gmail account. I guess the best option would be to have both (gmail and X, where X is fastmail or something similar) for a few years and slowly migrate over, I don't know.

I don't like the fact that if a single email account of mine was compromised that it would essentially compromise everything else. Email accounts can hold a lot of power over someone's online life.

That doesn't really "wreck" my argument. Twitch.tv might seem big in your world, but in the overall computing space it is absolutely tiny. Minuscule.

But yes, lots of people game on Windows. Lots of people have Windows installed. You seem to think that is a counterpoint, and I daresay it comes from a terribly naive perspective.
OP can't delete it because they can't log in, as they explain in the post.
The point of my post is that I literally can't delete Facebook right now because I'm locked out of my account. I'm not one of those people who thinks I can't live without it, my account has already been deactivated for around 2 years.

The main thing I am complaining about is that I think it's appalling that my account can be reactivated without actually giving me access to the account.

I have submitted a support request and will be deleting Facebook as soon as I get access to the account!
The words you're looking for are, "smells like money".

The wealthy/corps who distribute/buy don't care because they don't live there... working farmers know nothing else that will keep their family on the middleclass treadmill (education is right out) without the externalities of stench and pollution, while the working poor (closest to the animals and carcasses) couldn't find another job without uprooting their extended family.

It's a simple living that most communities couldn't stomach. One day there will be a virus or bacteria that will wipe it out, but until then you won't take away their lifestyle. It's all they know.
> Paint.NET is by far the best the best picture editor I've seen.

That's quite a statement. I would only say it with the following qualifiers:

Paint.NET is by far the best free picture editor I've seen for Windows.

I've seen plenty of non-free (some very affordable, some less so) editors for Mac and Windows that are way better than Paint.NET.
Well it's 25% clickbaity IMO - it was the billion dollar case, but perhaps "Java Copyright Case" would have been better.
Even if cabs and Uber rides were the same price, I'd still prefer Uber. Wouldn't you?

That said, I doubt the VC money will dry up. Companies can operate in the red, sustained by VC money, for a long time before becoming profitable. Look at Netflix, for example. Or Amazon until recently.

I'll second this. A book club, or any other gathering I've experienced (and I've searched frantically), pales in comparison to the 'smallgroups' that were part of my religious world. The closest I came to that experience in a non-religious way were some of the Alain de Botton style 'Church for Atheist'
meetups. And even then only the ones that were organized by an overtly religious person!

Agreed. When they make a title like that, people assume they're talking about Uber employee culture, not their business model. And the NYT knows what they are implying, and they know it will get more clicks.
> SV is unique in the USA in that it's a major industrial area that evolved into a huge urban center

Not unique at all. That's how most large urban areas in America got started. They became urbanized because people lived close to their jobs in the days before highways.

Chicago, New York, Baltimore, and pretty much any east coast city became urban because of heavy industry. Factories located there because of the ports which brought in raw materials. Those ports then spawned more heavy industries (railroads, shipyards, etc...)

No - but it penalises you if you fail to follow best practice (like not encrypting data at rest for example). So, the incentive to do the right thing is greater seeing as you can be fined a percentage of your turnover.
I feel glad that I've been learning enough Chinese to understand that most of those projects aren't actually all that relevant. (But I think you could get the gist of those just using Google Translate, no need to learn a new language.)

monkeyWie/proxyee-down is a tool to sniff HTTP downloads via a proxy. Admittedly, I'm not completely sure why someone would need to do that.

xitu/tensorflow-docs is a Chinese translation of the TensorFlow documentation.

CyC2018/Interview-Notebook contains tips for interview preparation.

1c7/chinese-independent-developer is a way for Chinese indie developers to show off what projects they are working on. (This one even has an English translation.)

HFO4/plus1s.live is a project to stream movies as ASCII art over HTTP. Pretty cool actually.

And that's it for the Chinese projects I can currently see on the trending page.

Personally, I think that most projects that would be useful to an international audience will also make an effort to have English comments and documentation. Developers all over the world speak at least some rudimentary English and are well aware that they need to use it if they want to attract more contributors. I'm not a native English speaker either.
> The next time you navigate to Facebook it will load in a new blue colored browser tab (the “Container”).

Why does not browsers (eh, Firefox) do this by default for every origin? 3rd party cookies would be broken I assume, but overall it would lead to less tracking across origins.
Some quite simplistic assumptions here. Obviously anyone making more than say, $150K would be taxed around $30K more (5% of US income tax payers). They would be net-net no worse off than before, but wouldn't add to the cost of this.

Most of the burden would fall on even richer people. There aren't many of these, but they make a lot of money.

But UBI would replace a lot of things currently funded mainly by rich people through either tax or philanthropy. Not just the whole welfare bill, lots of healthcare and law enforcement spending, but things like grants for the arts. Artists, musicians, etc would either live off their basic income or only require small payments for things like orchestral performances, commissions. Research where the cost of wages is a significant part of the cost (mathematics rather than rocket science) would enjoy a similar subsidy.

Many rich people spend a lot of time and money trying to either improve society or assuage their guilt for becoming rich in various anti-social ways. It might be somewhat worth it to them to have a society which they feel more positive about, but also have fewer threats to their well-being, such as from crime or populist politics.

You would expect some inflation, but tax receipts/GDP would also rise in line with inflation.

Some things would become much cheaper. For example, lots of people don't particularly want to live in run-down apartments in New Jersey. But they have to, because New York is where the work is. Those people might go and live much more cheaply elsewhere and have reduced housing costs.

The cost of artistic work would plummet, in line with the reduced demands of artists for money. (There are probably
enough people who would want to make video games if they didn't have a day job that you could spend the rest of your life playing video games you enjoy for free.)

There wouldn't necessarily be much increased consumption of many things. If everyone eats dinner everyday, they would probably go on eating one dinner rather than three. If some people can't afford dinner currently, consumption and therefore prices, should rise. But some people not having food seems like a problem we should fix anyway.

Some things definitely would go up in price a lot. Things which have a high cost component of labour, and the people doing that labour don't particularly enjoy it. So you would have to pay people a lot to wait tables, and the cost of restaurants would reflect that. But there still might be lots of people who wanted to be maitre d's or helicopter pilots, at least for part of their lives. The flipside is that if you enjoy cheap food delivery, restaurants and taxis, you are currently being subsidized by welfare and other social care services which allow people to do crappy jobs for less money than it takes to live.
> I'm fairly certain they were scanning emails for ad targeting up until the past year or so.

Not a great source (it's a while ago), but I was at a talk from I think a Google AI researcher once (he might've been a VP). I remember him saying that Google hasn't actually been scanning emails for a long time now, because they're processing too many emails for even Google to parse. Too big data.
I never facebooked. You need to do much more than that to remove their tracking, since many pages have a Facebook like button, which tells Facebook what you are browsing based on your ip, which they undoubtedly already know is you.

They track you whether you join or not.

You're making an argument about the good parts of GDPR into an argument about whether the political system should take sides in terms of business opportunities it gives. Is GDPR good for personal data safety? I think it is. Is GDPR easier for small businesses than for larger ones? No.
The Gamblers Betting Against Donald Trump … and Getting Rich
I've had a car with automatic breaking system for a while now and my experience is that they do not kick in easily. Had to test it with a friend that throw an inflatable mattress in front of the car to make it react.

It should not be too hard to make these systems co-exist. If one of the systems says break then the car will break. The few times the car breaks when it really didn't need to should be an acceptable side-effect during testing.
Probably should have waited a little longer - I know they're trying to catch the glow around Waymo's supposed safety in light of the Uber incident, but probably should hold off - the general public isn't on top of this like HN is.

I mean - I think all this talk of going live in 2018 should be stopped by officials until they create a TEST for SDVs. Also, it wouldn't be a bad thing for SDVs to run an internal offline unit test given a fake lidar scenario and make sure it doesn't kill people (every time before the car leaves the parking spot).

Edit: ignore the below, I didn't realize the new container had the opposite behavior from other Firefox containers, described here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

This has a real limitation, which is that if you click an external link on your Facebook newsfeed, the new website will also be in the FB container. On the one hand, that keeps your FB-related browsing from "contaminating" your other web cookies. On the other hand, all the websites in that container get to link you to your FB account just like normal.
Understanding GDPR: Consent vs. Legitimate Interest and What It Means for ABM
Can someone explain how this would prevent fingerprinting? IP, user-agent, window-size and other details can reliably identify most of the the other http sessions anyway. Blocking trackers seems as important to me.
There's Rust, Swift, C#, Go. Plenty of people would like to(many do already) write in these languages.
Because it could be a decentralized system of nodes, subject to consensus for any censorship algorithm changes. This solition could lead to a tragedy of the commons scenario, however, it's still an upbgrade to the "because we said so" model the big four currently enforce.
I recently read about usury. I never knew the proper history of the term. I was surprised by the human side of it in the middle ages.

I spend on average 8 hours a day researching and trading cryptocurrencies. I have found the following 4 resources to supplement each other perfectly to provide an all inclusive look at the market, news, and projections. https://cryptonewstrends.com/

Crypto Answers - CA generates unique content throughout each day focusing on news, mainstream adoption, and ICO information. They distribute both written content and videos which can be found on their YouTube channel.
CryptoCompare.com - CryptoCompare provides a live feed of nearly all cryptocurrencies. It feeds from all of the active exchanges to deliver the live average price between them. It works flawlessly for the top 20 currencies or so, but the others don’t update reliably for some reason. It also provides crucial information such as the algorithm and proof type that correspond to each coin.
CoinMarketCap - CoinMarketCap tracks over 1300 coins and provides slightly delayed (~10 minutes) prices for all of them. Every price on their web page is reliable, just not real time. With CryptoCompare, they cover all of your needs. CMC also provides charts, trade volumes, and market cap info.
CryptoPanic.com - Crypto Panic is a news aggregator focused on crypto news. It fetches headlines from across the globe and delivers them nearly live in an easy to view column. Using CP will help preserve your sanity as you struggle to stay up to date on the news.

> it would also force Uber to permanently partner with Volvo on technology they can't control.

That sounds like a win-win to me.

>You do not want an arbitrary third party system controlling the car while the Uber system is in unknown ways; if the systems conflicted things could go out of control and be more dangerous.

I find it interesting that, of these two systems, it is Volvo's widely-deployed system that is described as 'arbitrary'. If this argument had any merit, it would be unsafe for this system to be on the road, 'conflicting' with the car's human driver. On the contrary, the statistics clearly show that these systems reduce the frequency and severity of accidents.

I think the term stay is being misinterpreted rather bizarrely.

Microsoft is relevant. They are fighting to stay relevant because the future is, in every way, moving against them. Yes, they are fantastically profitable on the inertia they achieved in prior decades, exactly like IBM was. If Microsoft doesn't gain a lot of relevance they going to eventually hit exactly the same sort of curve.

I mean...their revenue has stagnated for half a decade now.

Indeed. Just pointing out the clear difference between that and what was stated.
The Time a B-52 Landed Without a Tail Fin
Please don't use the expression "contributing back" on a platform that Google rules with an iron fist. Not only is their draconian licensing contract kept secret, for fear that consumers might realize the sort of behavior Google is up to, but now Google is explicitly implementing block screens for installing the app store on an Android device that isn't adequately under Google's thumb. This isn't the behavior of a company who is "contributing back", it is the behavior of a company doubling down on controlling the industry.

> Actual propaganda is used to propel an agenda, ideology or belief system.

Yes. What do you think #deleteFacebook is? We don't really have news anymore. We have agenda. Foxnews has an agenda. CNN has an agenda. The entire media has an agenda. The days of objective journalism is long gone. I think that's obvious to anyone paying attention. I'm not holding my breath on it returning anytime soon.

> None of those things are part-time considerations.

Sure they are. Bloomberg doesn't have to spend 24/7 on facebook. But they along with the rest of the media can.

Anyways, this is pointless. The evidence is right there for you to see. You can choose not to accept it if you want. Maybe it makes sense to you that we get 24/7 propaganda about facebook. Doesn't make sense to me.
I am a FB employee. And I ain’t sayin shit. It is as simple as weighing losing my job and being deported from the USA on one hand, and being a participant on HN on the other.
Let’s be honest. It’s difficult to argue that it doesn’t fall to women at least partially because this has historically been a men’s world and men cannot be bothered with researching male contraceptives if contraception has already been made Someone Else’s Problem. A male contraceptive with all the side effects of the pill would never become popular.

How can they do that? Does the driver app allow you to set your own destination and exclude riders not going the same way?
I’m pretty sure by ‘math-impaired’ he meant that he didn’t do the math, not that he tried and failed. His use of the word ‘rhetoric’ implies the author knew he was pulling them from his arse and was using those numbers to make an argument.
You're making it sound like a simple parameter optimization issue, but it's hard to imagine a mutation that breaks out of the "fall forward as far as possible" paradigm without discarding the parent phenotype entirely, which would defeat the purpose of using an evolutionary algorithm in the first place.

Anyway, the point was that a complex optimization problem resulted in an unexpected "suicidal" phenotype, i.e. falling over instead of walking.
