Can someone who understands the mechanics of this ELI5 how this works?

so the parent is a UK citizen but can't pass his citizenship on to his children? And his future wife is a taiwanese citizeen, but because he would have to enlist in the taiwanese army to become a citizen, they cannot raise their family there? Can someone flesh out the details for the clueless and unworldly like myself?

What part do each of these things play in the parent posters predicament vis a vis starting a family:

a) Being born in Switzerland
b) Parents being British
c) Parents being French residents
d) Girlfriend being Taiwanese
e) Mandatory Taiwanese Conscription Laws

What UK law prevents parent from marrying his GF and raise his children in the UK? Why can't he live in Taiwan as an expat and not join the army?
The problem I think is that most sites and businesses would be up in arms over this idea. FB wants to have links pointing to other FB pages. Many websites do a lot to prevent user from leaving. How do you plan to overcome this?

Ask HN: Ethical analytics for blog?
I just moved my blog to a Jekyll + Netlify stack from hosted Wordpress. Is there any simple analytics option for me? I don't want to use Google Analytics (as I block it myself). I don't want anything complicated, just visit count for each page and (if possible) unique visitors for each day.

Will you explain why these exact things have only had precisely the opposite effects in practice?

Seems like flawed theory to me.

Considering immigrants (as well as most low-wage Americans) primarily purchase cheap imported goods, the only jobs we appear to be creating by this method are extreme low-wage jobs, just like I said. Any other revenue goes to very wealthy who stash it or invest in capital or property, which makes it harder for most Americans to own a home.
I think key to this distinction is federation, not decentralisation. With open standards and open source implementations, you'd be able to migrate your GitHub to a different GitHub provider if Microsoft screws things up too badly. GitHub would be not a monosilo, but a set of slightly smaller siloes, all interacting seamlessly with each other.

Several areas, but mostly Northern Germany. It's also quite common in movies/TVs, so I think it's quite widespread.
it would just require that common web platforms allowed their current comment systems to attach comments to paragraphs in the article, and show these comments as side notes

I think that's a somewhat view of what a user contribution could look like. Adding feedback is great, but imagine what the web could be if users could do more than just comment. I'd love to see a blog application that supported user contributions like fixing spelling/grammar, adding links, injecting additional paragraphs to explain complex topics, captioning pictures, etc. All those things could be suggested as comments that the author would manually use to improve their article, but I think it'd be better (faster at least) to do it automatically.

Idealistically I'm thinking of something that's the best parts of Medium and Wikipedia.

I think the closest thing to Usenet is Japanese 2channel (now 5channel) web forum. [1]

- text only

- lots of subboards about every interest imaginable

- barely, or completely unmoderated (therefore full of spam and troll posts)

- similar reply conventions

- the web interface is so barebones that most users are using external desktop/mobile applications to read and post on it

- ASCII/character art is widespread

While this is somewhat cool, I have a few comments:

> The Web is, without a doubt, the most powerful research tool currently available to man. No longer must researchers comb through endless indices and catalogues to find what they are looking for.

True, but most people aren't researchers. Heck, I think most people don't even know what indices are :)

> The vast majority of those interested in a piece of work are merely readers, unable to contribute, only to consume.

Guess what, most people, 99% of the time, "consume".

> Billions across the globe rely on the Web to enhance their intellectual capabilities on a daily basis, building understanding through its rich mesh of connections.

Not really, billions across the globe check out funny cat pics, play games, watch you-know-what, etc. :)

Anyway, what I'm saying is: it's a nice vision of the world and the web, but that's not what the world mostly is. Good luck with it, but don't expect that a super contributor-friendly media will turn the vast majority of people into constant contributors.

The APRC offered to foreign residents of Taiwan expires if I move overseas for more than 2 years. So it's not really permanent e.g. if I moved to another country to look after ageing parents, I could never go back. The only "permanent" status is citizenship, and Taiwan requires foreigners to forfeit their previous citizenships to naturalise. It's not only the military issue.

A false sense of reassurance.
If you look at the adoption pattern and growth rate of Mastodon, it has around 1.5M users, the majority of which have arrived via three big waves.

The first wave was people with left wing identities who were tired of being harassed on mainstream platforms like Twitter.

The second wave was Japanese lolicon enthusiasts (without diving too deep down this rabbit hole, lolicon is a popular but weird and nerdy thing to be into in Japan).

The third wave was sex workers in response to SESTA/FOSTA eliminating platforms they used in the past.

All these waves set up their own instances, and they don't communicate much with the other waves.

If you look at what these waves all have in common (aside from using the software), there's just one thing. They were all posting stuff that didn't fit in on a mainstream platform. In the first case it was due to harassment, in the second it was embarrassment, in the third it was legality.

The users are already bifurcating the network, admins routinely share blocklists of sites that they don't want included in their version of the fediverse. Being able to block instances and people you don't like is one of Mastodon's killer features.

I don't think it will become the next outrage machine, people will just block and bifurcate. I do think users will keep setting up Mastodon instances in waves similar to the first three. I'd be surprised if Mastodon ever powered a better version of the commons we currently have on FB, Twitter etc. [1] The feature Mastodon added to federation (and that made it more popular than similar software) is the ability to not federate with people who are different from you.

[1] The "fediverse" at large has some potential to do this if it receives mass adoption. Think of a scenario like WordPress integrating federation features into the Core. This would bring federation to the mainstream.

Stop equating H1B with cheap labor. This is gross generalization. There certainly are some companies taking advantage of the program by paying H1B's less, but most of the people on H1B get paid the same as an American citizen would get paid. There is a mandatory step in an H1 application called Labor Condition Application [1] which needs to be approved by the US Government. This makes sure that the H1B applicant is being paid same or higher than the average wage for that occupation in the area.

People on H1B can't even change their location without filing another such application. So, no, H1B immigration does not lead to lower wages for citizens.

>The campaign against Jeong is some bs about old tweets where she mimicked the racism she gets back, recast as racism against white people.

This I saw just recently, my opinon here differ from yours though, had these been direct responses to racist comments then I would have found the explanation plausible, but they're not, and coupled with the sheer volume of them I can't see them as anything but her racist opinions.

As for 4chan 'campaigns', does this site has any sway whatsoever ? Back when I went there ages ago it seemed like anonymous people was just trying to be edgy and do 'shitposting'. I thought reddit was 'the place' these days ?

The bots also have perfect knowledge of enemy hp/mana and the relative positioning through the API. In fact the bots are gifted perfect micromanagement through the API. This enables them to do things most humeans wouldn't try, because the risk of messing up and giving the enemy a huge advantage is too high.

You can have multiple aliases for the same user. I have about 20-30 email addresses (across multiple domains) from my previous setup all aliased to my main FastMail account.

On top of that, FastMail has a killer feature if you like have different addresses for different things. For example, say your email is name@example.com and somewebsite.com is asking you to provide an email address.

You can just put in somewebsite@name.example.com and FastMail will automatically route that to your mail email as if you had used name+somewebsite@example.com. You don't need to do anything beforehand and can just create these emails on the fly when you encounter a sign-up form.

It simplifies things greatly and if you start getting spam on one, you can just block it.

This is one of my favourite FastMail features.

The bots have perfect information (when the enemy is in vision) and perfect micromanagement through the API. A huge part of the challenge in dota is processing the viuals and audio cues from the game quickly and acting the limited information you have precisely. The bots get to take a shortcut around all of that.

Here's the first hit from Google:

'prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.'

It seems to me that there's an attempt to shift the definition of racism towards something different from above in order to facilitate the spread of consequence free hate speech.
That's why I don't like meetings where you're supposed to come up with a solution on the spot and then break it down into tasks immediately.

That only works if you have lots of closely related experience so that the solution is trivial to you anyway, or if you're a genius. Most of the time you end up with shitty "knee-jerk" software that focuses on technical details way too much instead of solving the problem.

I'll think about it, maybe do some experiments / proof-of-concept, then we can talk about it again, then I'll think about your input, and then we can discuss the tasks and sub-tasks once things are starting to make sense.

TLDR: High wages incentivize automation (ie. increased productivity)

Another argument in favor of higher wages. But high wages aren't happening on their own, and thus we may need a policy like UBI (universal basic income) to increase wages by enabling more people to drop out of the labor force for unenjoyable jobs.
I understand a free and open media, but this is what annoys me about it.. A single woman, the media won't listen to her at all and they'll print what they want. A powerful company asks them not to print something and they'll remove the offending article in a heartbeat.
Enzyme is for writing integration tests rather than unit tests - a component is a whole bunch of different things interacting with the DOM. You can't really break that down in to individual units of code, so you can't unit test it.

If you have complex logic in a component that needs unit tests you should probably pull that code out in to its own class and test that separately.

Manually writing Enzyme tests looks dumb to me but what about Jest snapshots? Their only purpose is to detect changes to prevent accidental behaviour changes.

And HK has been voted Number 1 in Free Market trading for god knows how many consecutive years.

>I guess HK has no social housing?

HK has social housing. But they have been building very little of it. The government skewed numbers for time from application to moving in are 7+ years. In reality it is even longer than that. The Social Housing unwritten rules are prioritised to anyone coming from mainland china first, then families in HK, and finally singles. So if you are some elderly singles, you are very likely to be dead before moving into a social housing.

Now of course any singles getting any job with minimum wages you would have been over qualified for Social Housing. But a lot of times they are not full time job, and even if you do, you can barely afford to paid the rent of apartments. And even if you can, your landlord are highly unlikely to rent to these people without stable income.

So you can live on the street right, like Homeless people? Well actually living on Street or what's called public space is against the law in HK.
