The article says that other sources corroborated Zunger's account. That seems more relevant than anything about the man.

"Opposing the idea of tolerance" is an extremely uncharitable way to describe a piece dealing with the paradox of tolerance.

Zunger's description of 1,475 children as "missing and unaccounted for" was prompted by an Arizona Republic article that described them as "lost".[1] He was mistaken about ICE separating those particular children from their parents, but the article wasn't entirely clear about that. There was also still the question of what would happen to the children that ICE did separate from their parents.

Brave records that data locally, none of it is actually sent to any servers. The only thing they know is an amount of money must go to the websites that your browser viewed. They don't record IP addresses or any personal data.
"Change browser characteristics ... to fool the fingerprint."

What about hardcoding the fingerprint? So that every end user looks the same.
In addition to this, as per GDPR, the personal information (name, passport, address, email, phone) should have been encrypted in the database, just as the payment details were. This would have reduced the effect of unauthorized database access.

I'm guessing this was not done either, even for EU guests.

Minimal effect on the business directly because the costs just get included in the formula to determine how much they're going to charge for the meal. As it's a statutory change, everyone's costs go up so everyone's prices go up.

There's ancillary effects of course but not in the way you're suggesting.
No diversion of consumption to home-cooked meals (single or multi family)? No marginal restaurants fail? No reduction in tipping? No reduction in add-ons to meals? (apps, drinks, deserts) No reduction in staffing count, hours, or benefits?

It would seem unusual if “prices just [went] up” without any other changes to the overall system.
I was thinking more along the lines of they should spend the extra 10min per bulkhead to build a proper "node" with the L-channel at the center of each bulkhead. That would let them use lighter (cheaper) material and have equal or greater strength. This is more important for a pontoon resting on the bottom because than one floating. When the guy cutting the channel is making $15USD/hr it's cheaper just to buy overkill material. When the guy cutting the material is making whatever they make in India it's worth it to have him spend the extra few minutes to put the proper angles on the ends.

I mean yeah, it probably is all overkill but I'm used to having to build things that have to withstand high dynamic loading so when it comes to mostly static objects I tend to over build things.
That is the same opinion I have voiced here before, my experience with waitstaff in the US was atrocious, I really wasn't prepared to be interrupted every 2-5 minutes by the waiter doing a tour around the tables and asking if I need something else, if everything is ok. Even more because it feels like I'm being rushed.

In one specific instance I had finished my meal and was pondering on getting dessert or another beer, talking to my friend, the waiter came over to ask if we wanted something else, I said "not yet" and 2 minutes later had the check on my table.

I really didn't have any great experiences in the US on a sit-down restaurant, the food was nice but the service is always too much on your face. I understand that it's done because of American's social norms but even coming from a Latin country it felt way too much. And way too fake, my feeling was always that this behaviour was for the tips, never for a genuine care on how I'm being served.
That's interesting, but how do you prevent bad guys from "generating an encrypted result" that you don't want?
Does this interfere with getting category specific points (eg 3x on restaurants)?
> we are running out of room in bytes to stuff more bits.

The unicode codespace is composed of 17 16-bit planes, and so has room for 1114112 codepoints. As of Unicode 11, 137439 are allocated.

And while UTF-8 has been restricted to only support 21 bits (which already allows almost 1 million more USV than actually allowed), the encoding scheme (and pre-2003 UTF-8) supports 31 bits of payload.

There is a spectrum between doing nothing and quitting that falls under "not being neutral in situations of injustice".

I'm not an European (as stated on my other comment, I'm Brazilian) and was also quite bothered by servicing in the US.

The bees are highly social, and it is possible that it is primarily this fact that “lifts” their mental power into the realm of consciousness. Being part of the socium has been proven to be critical for a human to be, well, human. What is interesting, though, is that while the social life is lifting the bee, it appears that it often moves the individual human mind in the opposite direction.

I don't know about the other guy, but hopefully you'll bear with me since I've been on HN for a while now and wasn't paid by a government IT cell to comment (since you seem to be implying that).

I am not sure what the parent commenter means by "Hinduism is not a religion like Islam or Christianity". Do they mean that Hindus don't practice Abrahamic principles? Because other than that, I'm not able to understand what they mean.
Us in the IT field - programmers, sys admins, whatever - yes, we probably should assume our data is insecure because we're in it. We see these breaches here on HN and we know what to expect when they happen.

As everyone always says about these types of things. We are not the target market so to speak.

Joe user doesn't know to read HN and gets their news from the TV IF they happened to be watching when it was covered.

I'm agreeing with you. I know we should know to be careful. But it's still not acceptable.

Trekonomics is a nice non-fiction book about the utopian ideas presented in Star Trek and especially TNG. There, they treat the replicator as more of a metaphor for post-scarcity rather than recipe (i.e. Star Trek technology is sufficient but not necessary).

I would say I'm more optimistic than you about post-scarcity. Bertrand Russell makes a case for the insanity of modern society by noting that during WWI half of British populace was sufficient to produce enough for all of Britain. Even if we allow for some margin of error in his statement, since that time productivity in the US has increased 4.5x since then.

To me the show is increasingly relevant. For example, it presents a clear answer to a popular criticism to UBI: what is to prevent everyone from staying home to play video games and leeching off society?

The optimistic answer is that once society can produce enough goods for everyone, the traditional value system of society (material wealth => proxy for contributions to society => virtue) loses meaning and will be overtaken by new ones (contributing to society => virtue).

I agree with most of your summary except the end. What if the problems in the US and around the developed world are more due to how society is organized rather than technological? I think the Star Trek value system is appealing and IMO something we ought to strive for.

Ignore corporate claims such as "don't be evil."

The problem isn't that those claims were lies. I'm sure Google's founders actually intended Google to "not be evil." The problem is that a corporation (or a government, university, church, fraternal organization, you name it) is made up of people. As such things get big they end up being made up of many, many people. Leaders change. Managers change.

When an org gets big some of its people will be assholes because some people are assholes.

Google has been through several CEOs and is a publicly traded company with the latter meaning that it's subject to market pressure and activist investors. It's also a company large enough and relevant enough to be a "national security" interest, making it likely subject to government and intelligence infiltration, pressure, and micromanagement.

You're 100% correct, but I'm posting this to the audience of Hacker News. I highly doubt we have too many representatives from the true lower classes here.

And to be clear, I don't mean "own a home" when I say "build a home." A home is composed of the people you are committed to and the people you love. I don't mean buy a house or buy anything, actually. I mean building an identity for yourself that includes the notion of "home."

Yeah, it's getting tricky as an AWS user. Some of the stuff we're building will now be directly competing with Amazon as well. And they keep moving more and more in the direction of competing with stuff people are building on their platform.

That said, the name of the game is "Co-opetition"[1]. Everybody is simultaneously competing and cooperating.

Going beyond that though, it does lead us to wonder at what point it would make sense for us to move off of AWS and build everything on bare-metal, using our own servers in a co-lo center, etc. Of course that takes a lot more up-front $$$, and we wouldn't have the same economies of scale as Amazon, so...

Yeah, it's complicated.

I've never understood how paywall bypass addons can be considered ethical. Even if you hate paywalls, it's the publisher's decision to use them. If I were to take a newspaper from a news stand without paying because there's an article I want to read but I don't want to pay, is that much different?

I'm honestly asking what the justification is for people who use these addons. Do you not consider it unethical or do you not care?

To clarify the tone of this post, I'm not trying to judge the value of someone's character based on if they bypass paywalls, I'm really just interested in other perspectives on this.

#1 is definitely true but #2 is only true if most of your customers make the minimum wage. Since we're talking about less than 4% of hourly workers[0] (so excluding everyone making a salaried wage which is going to be almost everyone reading this and everyone they interact with professionally), it's extremely unlikely that a majority of your customers make the minimum wage even if we're talking about a fast food franchise.

> It's in being of benefit to the human beings around you. And in serving those around you, you become something that is worth being.

I both agree and disagree with you. On the one hand, you're right that most people would be happier if they committed more and gave more. Human relationships are a positive-sum game.

But people who mindlessly follow that advice are asking to be exploited. History is full of dictators who grew rich and powerful off the backs of people whom they persuaded to think of something other than themselves. "Blut und boden." "Deus, pátria, e família."

What religion is supposed to be (whether it succeeds is a different question) is a moral compass so that one may find happiness and meaning in service to others, without your good intentions being exploited or usurped against your interests.

I've been named an inventor on several patents. If I read the applications, I hardly recognize the 'art' we invented. Somehow the legalese gets derailed, or they asked somebody else (not me) to help describe it. Anyway, the patent and the idea (software organization) are hardly recognizable as related.

Note: I did not instigate the patent process. The company lawyers did. I extricated myself from the process early.

The solution on Machine-Readable Passport is that everyone has a surname and one or more given names, using only A-Z characters, for a total of 39 characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_passport

Everyone who travels internationally has a name in this format, even if they have other names for other purposes as well.

I would suggest for a lot of software, the name in Machine-Readable Passport format, plus another field "How would you like to be addressed" allowing any unicode characters, would satisfy most requirements.

It isn't just the boomers. The "Greatest Generation" were the ones who were the most politically active at a time that they yearned for political leadership from grandpa Reagan, who had a large hand in helping weaken unions, eliminate pensions, and balloon the national debt... but at the same time they were a hell of a lot more pragmatic than their kids, who somehow decided that America had a soul that needed to be fought for by voting for corporate kleptocrats who hugged the flag and the Bible and sent kids to wars they would have protested against at that age.
I find it slightly weird to test different protocols like that, especially the SCP test, where the author states:

"With SCP, we transfer the 10GB random file over scp using OpenSSH server and client. We can clearly see that even bare-metal performance are much lower than previously."

SCP is just notoriously slow, and it should be expected to not be able to max out the connection with it.
Let me preface my answer by saying im the chap that built Tabulator

This is because the <table> element introduces a lot of design constraints.

There is a lot of inhernt styling that would have to be overridden if a table element was to be used. it could also mess with the standard behaviour of other table elements that have been generically styled.

Importantly when you start building interactive complex tables there are 100's of different types of elements needed to make the table function correctly that a standard HTML element simple isn't designed to handle, event making the header and the body scroll separately requirements more elements that a standard table can handle and it would invalid HTML to use the tags inside the table that would be needed to achieve it.

Especially when you move into the world of the virtual DOM a standard table element simply wont cut it

With the inclusion of aria tags there are no accessibility issues as screen readers treat them just as any other tables.

I think that the homepage for any software library should first and foremost show example code and output. I clicked and scrolled and learned one useful thing for me: "oh good it mentions react!"

Whenever I see descriptions of adopted solutions like this one, I always feel that someone is rushing towards a predetermined solution without having really checked the available options. You have a starting point and a set of issues. What are the minimal changes you can adopt to solve your problems, before deciding to use a new concept/ framework/ pre-packaged solution?
In this specific case, two issues seem to stand out: the lack of a gateway, and the issue of breaking api changes. Both seem to be easily solvable without the need to jump to a completely different model. Maybe it was really the best choice, but I would be more convinced if the complete set of problems with the old architecture was clearly laid out and the possible options to solve them one by one had been clearly analyzed.

A few of these are good arguments, but a few are not.

You're right that Markdown is very easy to remember and you don't need to refer to documentation much (if at all). It's also very simple and encourages document simplicity. I like Markdown for personal note keeping. And reading Markdown is not much different from reading

But you shouldn't use Markdown just because it will stop your colleagues from using other suboptimal document stores. If you're writing documentation you should do it the right way, which is not by offering a poor tool to curb the use of an even worse tool. That's not a professional and scalable way to find a robust documentation solution. That argument would hold up better for a use case like internal documents, in my opinion.

Likewise other documentation formats suggested in the article can be source controlled and diffed - there's no reason why you can't use reStructuredText in this way, for example. And there are also heaps of converters for these suggestions, but unlike Markdown their conversions to HTML will be common and well-specified :)
