Despite the Faroese people's issue with Denmark, it cannot be denied that the Faroese Islands (and Greenland for that matter) are heavy reliant on Denmark. As the article mentions, most of the islands' infrastructure comes courtesy of Denmark.

While calls for independence are far louder on Greenland than on the Faroese Islands, there is nonetheless a sense dislike for Denmark both places. Although, it seems the Faroese politicians recognises that independence would not be a good move for them.

And before people say, hey, it worked out for Iceland pretty well; Iceland has several advantages to it that made that possible: Far easier geography than the Faroese Islands or Greenland. Far more people (300,000 vs 50,000 today). And during the Second World War, when it happened, the US was also helping Iceland with the money to maintain some livelihood.

I doubt the US will help Greenland or the Faroese Islands in that endeavour today. The US already got Thule Airbase.
Garnishment.

If the regulatory agency decides to fine you, and you don't successfully defend yourself against that in court, then you'll have to pay that fine. If you fail to pay the fine on time, any entities within the juristiction that owe you can be ordered to pay the fine instead (i.e., your payment processor will be ordered to redirect funds arriving for you to the state, which also, as far as their juristiction is concerned, fulfills their debt towards you--as far as their legal system is concerned, the payment processor has paid you and you have paid the fine).

I dunno, I’ve been absolutely delighted that Patreon has made it possible to pay my rent by drawing arcane comics about robot ladies with Phillip K Dick problems and cartoon animals in space. Especially since I don’t have to crank out product every single day without any break like these Youtube kids do; I can actually have downtime to go for a walk in the park, watch a movie, play a video game... these folks sound absolutely miserable in part because they are constantly working on stuff for their channels, without a chance to build up a buffer, or ever do anything else besides bars survival necessities.

To extend your analogy, these folks have to ride that horse all day, every day, from dawn to dusk, and they are starting to get some serious saddle sores.

I think the appeal of Vue is that it's "Angular done correct" and "Angular without the bloat you never use". The core concept of Angular was never bad, it's just that it had tons of pitfalls and bugs and it wanted to be everything at the same time, not just the view-layer.
this is happenning. more and more streets in Manhattan are being closed to traffic and they become just walking places. For an example, look at a good chunk of Broadway around Time Square. If I remember correctly, some urban planner told Mayor Bloomberg about the Copenhagen model, and he liked it, and we embarked in a multi-decade plan to move in that direction.

To me it makes sense. Tablets don't seem so hugely popular and they've become a commodity ages ago. Anecdotally, I've had a few and they all were left sitting in a drawer somewhere pretty soon. While I have my phone for quick lookups, a Chromebook for lightweight web browsing and long battery life, and laptops for "serious" computing (i.e. work, other programming, some gaming), I've never found much use for a tablet. And whatever use I had I could easily have done with one of the earliest tablets I had. No reason to buy a new tablet really, and not much of a reason to buy a tablet at all.

I wish more cities in the US would just copy the Netherlands. It’s like night and day seeing the infrastructure and operation of bikes/e-bikes/scooters between the US and Netherlands. It’s safe, efficient, and actually makes sense.

US roads were made for cars. That’s just the honest truth. Cities need to do more than just toss a bike lane on the side of the road and say they are “bike friendly”. That’s not a solution, that’s some half-assed attempt by officials to look like they give a damn.

Chromeos with android is a lot more useful because you have full blown desktop chrome with chrome developer tools. The new chromeos devices have convertable touch screens and basically can function as tablets. But I own the new ipad because I don't have an iphone but still want my hands on these amazing Moog ios apps for my music. Android native is terrible for music, chrome browser itself has a much more highly developed api with webmidi and webaudio than you have with native android with its java based midi library.

> What does "an entire framework" mean? Because you can just make React the little news and weather widget in the corner of your app / website, as the only React component. Same with Vue.

Is there a step-by-step tutorial for this? I was googling for one yesterday, because I have a legacy app and want to start moving small components (like datagrids) out of server-side rendering and into components.

The best I found was https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-an-existing-app.html, which reads like it would make sense to an xperienced React developer, but not someone coming new to it.
So his central thesis is that JS has been getting all of the love while HTML and CSS have been marginalized. I want to empathize with him because he's a seasoned vet in programming and has been at it longer than I have. But, I've been doing web development since i was 12 on pet projects, and we totally have been making great strides in web UI.

If you made a website in the 90s or early noughts, everything was tables. Do you remember how to make a button with a bevel in 2005? You made a 3x3 table, and had to splice an image into 9 different sub images, and then stitch them all together. Now you have background:linear-gradient and border-radius. I mean, maybe you take this for granted now, but seriously, that was game changing for me when those things came out.

Now add on UI frameworks like Bootstrap and Zurb. Before everything was a JPG photoshop mockup. Every design was treated in isolation. There were entire businesses revolved around taking a PSD and turning it into HTML/CSS. Now everything is a component. It's reusable...and useable. Sure, we may have watered down design to the point where largely every SaaS landing page is the same, but the speed with which we can get developers to convey trust via design is vastly improved over the old days.

Sure, JS frameworks are all the rage right now. But we have made serious strides in web UIs as well.
I guess I’m an oddity, I can’t remeber the last time I went to HN or reddit on something other than my iPad. But I have an iPhone SE so maybe it’s just because I have a small screen phone that I rarely browse the web in it.
Does React or other cool frameworks have alternatives to jQuery UI components or you need to build your own calendars,dropdowns, accordions.
The thing I have to wonder is who did this and more importantly, why?

If you're a startup competing against an open-source project, then this is potentially a great (not good) way to get a leg up. You get the benefit of access to the code until you don't need it anymore, then get the project shut down and reap the benefit of being the last man standing.

Sure, you might eventually run up against the license on the software you just lifted, but open-source projects can't afford the same protections that a well-funded startup has.

And if you somehow get sued for license violations, the penalties are usually more a slap on the wrist than an effective notice to knock that shit off.

I really hate the way my mind works some days.

I think it's really about how you define success and failure. For example, you have a great idea for a product and you decide to form a startup to build it. If you define success as "built the product and made lots of money", both outcomes "couldn't build it" and "built it but nobody wanted it" are considered failures. If you define success as "discovered whether or not this can be built, and whether it can form the basis of a viable business", then those two outcomes are considered successes.

Your goal should be to identify the major risks in whatever you're doing, and then set your success criteria to either confirm or overcome those risks as quickly/cheaply as possible. Failure is then only whether you spent too much time/money, not necessarily what the outcome was.

Ask HN: Does website builder and all-in-one marketing platform sound cool?
Hello, Hackers. I'm doing a small research and hope you can help me.

Recently I've come up with an idea of combining multiple SaaS solutions in one. In particular what if to combine in one product:

- Website builder (SquareSpace, Quarrd)

- Blogging engine (Medium, WordPress)

- Leads collecting chatbox (Intercom)

- CRM (ZenDesk)

- Forms and polls (Typeform)

- User feedback (HotJar)

- Send newsletters (Mailchimp)

The idea is to have simplified versions of all these functions in one place. Having all the parts together will make starting a website much faster and simpler (no need to integrate all the APIs, build communications between the services, share numerous logins/passes with the team) and cheaper.

My hypothesis is that such kind of all-in-one platform with all those power-ups built in will be very popular among solopreneurs, indiehackers and small startups.

Does that sound cool? Am I missing something?
They seem to have no problem identifying you without an account and then linking your shadow profile to your real profile, should you create one.

I suggest using the identifier you received at birth to make the request plus your e-mail.
Back when browsers were wildly incompatible jquery was a life saver. Sure you could do painful dom code and then have all kinds of libraries that have to be loaded in the right order to support all browsers or you could just include jquery. Now in the era of the progressive web app SPA jquery is outdated. Even for low level dom its still outdated because modern browsers follow standards really tightly especially compared to the bad old days. Frameworks are starting to get outdated in the face of tools like Svelte as well as Polymer 3. You can pull off a SPA with Polymer 3 on modern browsers with no shims at this point, except maybe shadow dom, but Polymer 3 has selective shimming so you don't have to download one huge shim file.

I'm glad to see the Center for Election Science getting some funding and attention. They seem to be the loudest voice in favor of approval voting or range voting, but they tend to get drowned out by the IRV bandwagon being promoted mainly by fairvote.org.

As far as I know, fairvote.org has good intentions, but IRV (also variously referred to as alternative vote or ranked choice voting) has problems that are kind of hard to explain succinctly but which are likely to cause real problems. Basically, IRV tends to eliminate compromise candidates early and it also fails the monotonicity criterion, which means that there are cases where a candidate could win if some group of voters mark that candidate as their N'th choice, but the candidate loses if those same people mark the candidate as their N-1'th choice.

That's a problem that even first-past-the-post doesn't share. In FPTP, you can't cause a candidate to lose by voting for them.

I worry that voting reform will be perpetually stalled because IRV sounds good, but then the people in a position of power to enact real legislation do some research and talk to some experts and find out it's not as great as they thought. I don't know if that's what happened in Canada with Trudeau, but it I wouldn't be surprised.
That has nothing to do ML and the statistical targeting of people based on behavior.

I was lucky enough to visit the Faroe Islands two years ago.
The islands are just out of this world beautiful. The photos on this article does not do justice.
I have yet to upload many of my images, but some of my photos are here, [1,2,3,4]. The cliffs on Faroe are massive (it much older island formation than the Iceland). For example that light house on picture 1, is that white dot you see on the drone shot on photo 3.

Because helicopter is really needed, it's treated like public transportation. So it's almost like the cost of Uber ride on Bay Area. I think we paid like $20 or so for a 15-20 min flight. However, to reduce tourist abuse, you can only take the helicopter one-way. But when we visited, it was very low season and helicopter was pretty much empty and they allowed us to take a roundtrip flight which was quite amazing.

That being said, on our last full day we took a boat ride. Where the pilot showed us some of uninhabited islands. Like you read this in this article. He would point to a hut on a small abandon island and he would say: no one has lived here since 1998 (or something like that). On that same boat ride we hit some rainy weather, and part of the highlight of the trip is the boat going through this giant rock formation by the cliffs. It was almost like being inside the movie King Kong. It was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life.

One more interesting experience was arriving there. Firstly the airport is on this strange and scary location. Secondly, on arrival (because of high tariff rates) you see people buying cases of Coca Cola, etc at duty-free shop before officially entering into the country.
I highly recommend visiting there.

ARM promises laptop-level performance in 2019
I'm a European that supports the GDPR but here's my take on the issue in the post.

I don't think it would be hard for the person in the post to comply, it would just be time consuming. Say for example that a user requests a data transcript. Well he will have to collect all the post etc from that user and send it somehow. Now this is probably just a simple SQL query but it takes a bit of time, time that many people don't have.

Another issue seems to be that he is afraid of repercussions and is conditioned in the US system where everyone seems to be suing everyone all the time.
