Are you glad that Safari for iOS (and its web views) don't follow the standards? For example you can't set the height of an <iframe> which is something that has been been possible on every browser since IE4.

I agree that a browser should not be able to access native resources (in mobile nor desktop) but the problem with Safari for iOS goes way beyond that.

I won't claim to know Apple's motivation for not treating web technologies as first class citizens on iOS, but I know for sure that this situation is completely intentional. Apple has the resources and talent to make this happen and this problem has been a constant for years.

Safari has been neglected to the point where reported bugs linger for years, and when reporting a bug the most common answer is silence. The project is seriously underfunded.
Me, too. I thought it flowed a little better when read in order interleaved with the fourth book since those last two books happen at the same time, but still lots of plots that disappeared in translation to the TV show - so they could not have been that important to the end game. It was always going to be difficult to top the first three books, how many book series are consistently great?

A native Swede bigot thinks “I hate all non-straight people.” and a normal Swede thinks “I really wish we could get rid of bigots like that dude. Too bad we can’t deport jerks.”

An immigrant thinks the same thing as the bigot and the same normal Swede thinks “We need to help these people, how do we take in more of them?”

Seems foolish to me. Being oppressed in their homeland doesn’t make them intrinsically “good” people.

Having gone through multiple rounds of unsuccessful IVF, and now being too late, this is bittersweet for me. I'm very happy that things are likely to get better in future and others are less likely to suffer, but stories like this constantly bring back the memories of the building hopes and crushing disappointments each time we tried. It's a very stressful and emotional rollercoaster that I wouldn't wish on anyone else.

> free to sell their oil

Sweden doesn't have any oil to sell. We're also not crying foul about the increase in shootings as if the rest of the world is to blame. There is definitely a problem here in regards to the shootings, but it's also election year and some parties have a bigger interest than others in portraying Sweden as a lawless country.

Having to go down four flights of stairs to go to a bathroom is ridiculous.

I wonder if this is an unexpected side-effect of automating warehouses. Normally, bathrooms are required by OSHA, but the relevant code appears to dictate only the number of bathrooms required by the number of employees on a site[0].

Adding bathrooms to a building is an expensive retrofit; I can't imagine this situation getting better without regulation.

My inclination would be to try and lobby congress to require bathrooms within X feet of employees on every floor, or require Y bathrooms per Z square feet of space. (But what about edge cases? What do construction workers do in high rises?)

Neuroprotective behavior is one of the theories I've heard about ketamine's efficacy, as well as lithium's, but that doesn't explain the immediate gross improvement, just the eventual semi-permanent tolerance in some cases.

In my case, while it was effective, I was a much more productive and healthy person than I'd ever been, cleaning up lots of mess and accumulated dross I'd never been able to convince myself to go through, more physical activity, more consistent eating...but then it all abruptly came crashing down, eventually, so either the learned behaviors have quite a thresholding behavior, or it's a more complex mechanism.

The webOS UI from 8 years ago is still way better than the latest from Android or iOS today. The apps and implementation may not have been that great from a performance perspective (even then), but the UI was/is absolutely better.

If you want a specific feature, I'd point to first-class multitasking and cards, real menus, good combination phone/tablet UI via Onyx (I'm looking at you Android), JustType, Synergy (all your services working together instead of being separate islands in your phone), gesture zone, etc.

What's worse is that airport _workers_ have to pay additional for the AirTrain I think there's a discounted rate now, but I'm pretty sure workers had to pay $5 at one time.

>Do you think laws should not be applied to the Internet?

Depends. For now I think it depends on what your opinion on communication between people is. Are the laws to regulate, monitor, enforce, and use coercion to prevent or hinder people from communicating with each other, or to allow the freedom of expression with each other?

In long term, since we are in the infancy of such a tool, I think computers/internet will eventually rein supreme over the old laws.

Thank you for your feedback, I can understand and appreciate your perspective. Truly, it's fair.

To your first point: We built this on top of our app so we could use the data to superimpose conversion metrics. Using a direct URL is much easier to communicate than a subdomain or URL with slug. Your point is noted though. We don't want that to be the initial reaction.

We'll relook at the copy and see if we can minimize anything that's unnecessary. No need to add friction.

We built this tool to be free to use, without any requirement of signing in or submitting your email. We haven't gated the results, only added additional value if interested.

I'm sorry for it leaving you with a bad impression. We are a for-profit business, but that shouldn't minimize the value that the tool delivers — for free.

I used two sets of Vista machine, the 32-bit machines were almost all terribly slow, the 64-bit machines were surprisingly capable. So much so, that I could use a Vista 64-bit machine as an alternative to Windows 7 if it were still supported. The machines sold as Vista-capable weren't all that great with XP, but better, so were even under-powered for the previous generation. Vista leaned a lot more heavily on disk I/O that its predecessors, so turning off Windows Search, and a few other things I forget made it tolerable to use. It must have been about that time that all of Microsoft's developers got SSDs on their desk (I'm only half joking).

I remember installing Windows 95, from floppy disks back in 1996 or so. The system requirements on the box said 4MB of RAM. And it was true, Windows would run with 4MB. In the fine print, the box also said if you wanted to do anything besides play solitaire, like word processing, 8 was recommended.

So it's been going on a long time, the lowball estimate of systems requirements to get you to buy the product, then the real cost after you've already installed it. 4MB is a rounding error these days, back then it was at least a couple hundred dollars.
Steam provides a platform for a lot of developers and allows them to leverage the VAC. It's existence is improving our privacy. Instead of having each individual games try and scan our computers, they can call the VAC and request for the status of users.[1] When a game has a third party anti-cheat system, you can often choose to opt-out on install/launch and it simply cuts off online features.

This is one of the multiple reasons I don't mind Steam's scans. They are doing it on the behalf of thousands of games.

When people are worried about their privacy due to the VAC, they are quick to respond. Even better, they don't simply throw a legal team at the community but take the time to address fears and trust issues. [2]

I am not saying that Valve is perfect. They might mess up in the future. But so far, they have yet to breach my trust.

Kaniko doesn't use buildkit - buildkit still uses containerd/runC under the hood so it can't run inside a container easily.

> If Chinese companies are stealing IP, how come their Semiconductor tech lags so much?

Shit's hard, yo. :)

Because you can give someone your entire IP portfolio, and they still don't have the institutional knowledge to put it all together.

Digital Equipment Corporation literally had almost 100 Korean engineers on site in Boston in an attempt to teach Samsung how to make Alpha microprocessors. They were only marginally successful, and both parties wanted each other to succeed.

Apple, for example, only knows how to build chips because they bought SiByte who were a bunch of ex-Digital Equipment Corporation microprocessor designers--who learned from people who had something like 3 decades of institutional knowledge upon which to draw.

There aren't that many chip designers in the world. And a lot of them got out because making and selling chips is such a horrifically bad business (long timelines, high capital cost, high risk).

Other characters only get stew, which is oddly omnipresent. In her satirical travel guide to fantasy literature, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, Jones jokes that stew "is the staple food in Fantasyland, so be warned..."

This is all correct, and, research has found that sometimes the Part D plans actually negotiate a lower price for their Medicare patients than commercial.

Also, Medicaid does not only get the lowest price ("best price"), they also get another 23% knocked off.

So to be entirely accurate, the US gov't doesn't negotiate drug prices for Medicaid, it creates it's own discounts and tell the company to screw off if they won't accept them.

Or their editor didn't like the implication of the author's sentence, and modified "Autism" to "Tay-Sachs" without carefully reading the followup sentence that made the removal obvious.

Can I say "yes" without being down-voted? I'd like the government not to limit free association of moral agents. Two people should be free to work together under whatever arrangement they voluntarily enter into.

All our current system of labour and union law has accomplished is the offshoring of suffering. We've not gotten rid of the existence of, nor our reliance on abhorrent working conditions. We've just moved them elsewhere, in the process wasting tremendous amounts of energy (not to mention the associated destruction of the environment) shipping things to and from more lenient jurisdictions.

I propose that if the working conditions we rely on were present under our noses, we would do more to try to actually mediate our dependence their production.

> All Lenin did was decide that the dictatorship of the proletariat should be headed by an actual dictator.

That's only a small piece of vanguardism, which while it is a big change isn't the only significant change (and is, in fact, an adaptation to the fundamental change, which is abandoning the prerequisite of the development of a broad working class identity under developed capitalism.)

> You are, of course, free to say that the murderous regimes that have popped up again and again are not the true Marxism.

Well, I mean its self-evident true, and I didn't need your permission, but thanks.

> But then you have to explain why the false Marxism has appeared so often

I don't see why I should, since I am not advocating Marxism and, even if I was, the reason a system designed to be workable and leverage existing dissatisfaction in undeveloped, precapitalist conditions keeps doing so is neither nonobvious nor germane to discussing the merits of a different system in the developed world. Leninism has done horrible things in the environments which it was carefully crafted to thrive in, but even with the assist given by it's opponents fear mongering equivalence-drawing that painted all opposition to capitalism as equivalent to Leninism, it's done stunningly poorly at gaining any traction in places that don't have he conditions for which it was adapted from Marxism.

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for posting this!

The blog post has a GIF of code intelligence (hovers, go-to-definition, and find-references) in a diff. There's another nifty animated GIF on our homepage showing the code intelligence integration for GitHub: https://about.sourcegraph.com/. Our new tour at https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/tour has some links to try it out on open-source code (although for the real experience, you can follow the steps on our homepage to run it inside your own organization to use it with your internal code). And check out the overview/FAQ at https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/overview.

Finally, we have an awesome team based in SF and around the world (Arizona, South Africa) building Sourcegraph. We're growing quickly as more devs bring Sourcegraph into their companies and their companies adopt Sourcegraph (we can show you nice-looking charts :). If you want to learn more about joining the team, email me at sqs@sourcegraph.com with the thing you'd most like to improve about or add to Sourcegraph.

They're less than razor thin. They generally lose money every time they sell you something. This has become less true over time with the explosion of third party sellers, but it's still generally true. The revenue from Amazon Prime subscriptions does not cover the costs of providing benefits to Amazon Prime subscribers.

Costco has a different target market than Amazon. They target relatively well off people who can afford the upfront cost of a membership and have the capital to buy goods in bulk. That customer base places a relatively high value on customer service.
