There is a yt video that I found very well done and explained very well. He goes very deep in the inner workings of javascript.

I think you will like it. It is "modern" but not a new video. It is probably about 3 years old. Still relevant. He has a udemy course for $10 bucks.

You used a headline grabbing/clickbait title such as Diaspora Foundation: A Child Porn Sharing Neywork, in order to draw attention to a lack of a federated moderation system in the Diaspora network system.

In my view this alone would be a good reason for you to be banned and cast out from those groups. FWIW I am not involved in those groups and I don't even know what happens in them, but the fact that you used such a title to draw attention to your cause shows that you have a cause which is not compatible with their ethos and other such decentralized systems.

Decentralized networks have arisen in response to centralized and privately controlled services like Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Paypal and Patreon which use they term hate speech, neo-nazi, populist as excuses to ban those whose political and social views they disagree with, and you seriously expect them to adopt some sort of centralized control system. Good luck to you.

The same can be said of the TOR network, which seems to have become a system abused by all kinds of shady operators, with child pornography networks, bitcoin extortionists, Islamist propaganda networks among those operating behind the anonymity it offers.. Are there any calls for some kind OPTIONAL federated moderation systems for the TOR network?

How about Cloudflare, which has also come under criticism for protecting shady actors?

As for the child porn issue, the Internet itself can be seen as a child porn network irrespective of what tools or services are used to access it, and the same can be said about its so called relationship with hate speech. As Jordan Peterson asks, who defines what hate speech is?

As for the OPTIONAL part, things which are optional eventually morph into mandatory systems, with the possibility of operators who don't subscribe to such services being blocked simply for not using it..

Take a look at an organization such as Spamhaus, a supposedly optional but privately owned and controlled service, all the criticism and complaints of their abuse and misuse of a power over the years, and ask yourself why an organization committed to decentralized communication woud want such as system at the core of the services it provides.

I say this again, good luck to you!!
I'm a Remainer. I'm Irish - Ireland is one of the most pro-EU nations - and I live and own a house in London. I think, despite my own interests, that the UK probably needs to leave the EU in order to resolve the splits in society and for the UK to figure out its place in the world.

The fact is that Brexit divisions have settled in in the country, becoming more part of people's political identity than political party.

There's a complete lack of political leadership, with May saying what she thinks majority Tory supports want to hear, and Corbyn saying as little as possible to try and avoid making any decisions on Brexit, hoping May pushes Brexit through so that Tories can be blamed for any downside. Functionally, that means the two main parties are pro-Brexit, Tories vocally, Labour passively. With FPTP voting, there can only be two parties without vote splitting, so there's no functional political opposition to Brexit.

If Brexit does happen, well, Brexit won't be over; it's going to grind on for decades of negotiations trying to replace and replicate what the EU already did. Hopefully, that ultimately means coming back to the EU.

Why do I think Brexit probably needs to happen, though, even though I don't want it and it's not in my interest? Leavers won't understand the folly of Brexit until after it has happened. If it doesn't happen, it will poison politics for decades, and the UK would be even more obstructionist than it's been to date.

There hasn't been a positive identity-based case made for Remain. Everything has been framed as economic arguments, and in particular economic harm from leaving. Free movement - a reciprocal right of EU citizens - has been misleadingly framed as immigration. The history of UK joining the EEC has been rewritten and misremembered as joining a simple trade area that got out of hand. It's too late to turn these sentiments around, and there's no leadership trying to do it. In fact quite the opposite: because Tory membership is so pro-leave, Tory leadership contenders are all out-doing one another in EU-bashing.

None of the political leadership is thinking of the good of the country, everything is on the basis of party politics.

It's the kind of thing that helps you understand why world wars get started.

I believe AWS does share customer information within a device, but with a lot of sandboxing below that. You can watch this talk to learn more:

I'm almost 40, and haven't really played video games since college. No time, no interest..and I'm not really that great at video games anyway.

For christmas, I bought my kids a Switch, and I've definitely been playing it way more than them. Just finished Mario Odyssey, and it was a lot of fun, and I think I may be addicted. Getting the new Zelda later today...

I think my brain just needed the right game and some time off. 20 years did the trick.

The UK declared Brexit after Cameron obtained a special deal with the EU. They won't get anything like that if they come back after a Brexit fiasco, they don't have any negotiating power anymore.
Because when you do not largely innovate, it doesn't matter if you are in a large market or not it signals grave danger. Apple knew this years ago when they started their large services push (i.e. collecting rent). Apple has a good challenge in front of them for the next 5 years, they have enough cash in the bank to ride it out and try some moonshots, but there will be some big changes/chances in the next 5 years, and I'd be willing to bet that Cook will leave as CEO by 2024.

Hmm. I'm in the market for new glasses as I think my prescription has changed. I purchased my previous pair from WP and I found the experience to be quite nice. I was able to get on their site and sort/filter by men's/women's styles, color, shape, and size. I was able to easily select 5 that were the right shape for my face and the right size and then try them on at home and get the one I wanted.

Does Shuron offer that sort of experience? Looking at their site, I just see a list of glasses. I don't see a way to easily filter that down to ones that apply to me (narrow, rectangular). Part of the appeal of WP to me was the ease of getting something that I thought looked good and fit good at a reasonable price. Without some sort of way to search/curate, I don't think Shuron competes with that.

Of xourse, that's only the buying experience and doesn't pertain to the quality of the product and the customer service after buying.

> they offer real sizing to fit your head instead of a choice of "small" and "big" options

I'm confused by this. Is that not what something like WP[1] has (see the measurements details)?

This. Pet stores have zero interest or ability to influence the conditions at a breeder and rarely sell papered animals. They just cash in on trends around certain breeds and will happily sell any animal to a buyer who isn't really that discerning.

My wife & I work with a rescue and the breakdown tends to looks like:

RESCUE ANIMAL
conditions: abysmal when rescued; then the most loving fosters and homes around
breed: "brown dog"
cost: ~ $200-$400 depending on fees
owner: really wants a dog (our screening is quite strict)

PET STORE ANIMAL
conditions: unknown, but lots of rescues come from backyard breeders that willingly or not have terrible conditions
breed: looks like whatever is hot this year (yorkie cross, french bulldog, chocolate lab)
cost: $hundreds to thousands
owner: wants a type of dog but cost, effort or timing prevents planning with a breeder

BREEDER
conditions: usually pretty good if they're a registered breeder or breed, though the females have more litters than
breed: very specialized, registered
cost: $thousands
owner: wants a very specific dog for various reasons, willing to plan 6+ months in advance, disposable income

Interestingly the type of people who adopt rescues are very similar to many of those who buy the expensive breeder animals.
Web assembly is definitely a threat to apple’s app revenues, though maybe not an existential one. Given that apple are already experiencing a slowdown, and big names like Netflix are trying to avoid the “apple tax”, I’d expect to see them fight this tooth and nail. Even to the extent of blocking wasm on some sort of security grounds, wether valid or not.

The intention of utilizing AI in weapons systems is to reduce human error in their application. So is it unethical

Reducing human error is one possible benefit of AI weapon systems but there are numerous drawbacks. AI weapons could be programmed to violate laws and commit atrocities on an incomprehensible scale. They could conceivably cause the extinction of human beings or even all life on the planet. They don't even need to be sentient, let alone super intelligent, to accomplish this. If they can be mass produced and armoured well enough to resist most small arms fire, they could easily overwhelm any human armies.

The scariest part of the Terminator films is not Skynet, it's the terminators themselves and they're far more plausible than a godlike super-AI.
WebAssembly is native code targeted for and running in a browser virtual machine. The difference between JavaScript and WebAssembly is that there is a machine abstraction.
On the other hand, I now play videogames _with_ my kids. Sure, its short sessions of casual games, but still fun.
I used to hate free to play. But I reolized my nieces and nephews just download a game, play for free, and move on when things slow down. Enough content exists that you can just skip the DLC’s. Occasionally if you really like a game it’s nice for more content to be out there.
You'd be surprised. Vet bills can be unexpectedly expensive and a sick or injured pet can run up a thousand dollar vet bill pretty quick. A family with a $70K income and a couple of kids could find that pretty difficult to accomodate into the budget.

> By your own admission wouldn't the answer be more transportation infrastructure to support more dense housing?

Oh sure, SF needs a real subway and another BART tunnel between SOMA and Alameda. BART also has some choke points that need fixing at huge expense. But those projects take about 15-20 years. And currently the Republicans in congress are hostile to those projects.

> If you really wanted to get "tech bros" out of your city

I don't actually care about tech bro's really. I actually see tech workers in SF being victimized like everyone else. Lot of highly educated bright people paying through the nose to eke out a bare middle class lifestyle. Only because the money and jobs are here not some place more affordable that can more easily take the density increases.

I'm not sure there are any unresolved disputes between the Republic of Ireland and the UK. There's the constitutional claim on the 32 counties, I suppose.

The most significant formal dispute between the states was a trade war in the 30s, discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland–United_Kingdom_relatio...

The conflict in Northern Ireland has had only very minor and indirect connections to the governments in Dublin and London, which are both a long way from the situation on the ground. Any central government intervention on either side of that conflict would have been strictly unofficial.

>Despite a wider variety than ever before, video games don’t have the same effect on me as they used to.

I must have hit the jackpot then, because in my 40s, games absolutely feel to me now like they used to. They continue to excite me and some of them even still take over all my free time for a while, pushing out all my other hobbies and what little social life I have.

Do all of them? Nope, but they didn't all hit me like that back in my teens, either. Some of them are just astounding, though, and after playing one of those games I actually get a little sad that no other game is there to take me up to that same level of fun.

The most recent game for me like that was Ni No Kuno 2, which turned out to be a lot better than I expected. (I hated the combat in NNK 1 and didn't complete it, and wasn't expecting much from NNK 2.) So glad to be proven wrong there.

Other games like Uru, Fallout New Vegas, and The Witness have done the same in the past, and there's usually at least 1 each year that does it for me, if not more.

Many of the games that don't hit that level of obsession still are a ton of fun, too.
Given the impact of the whole Brexit process on the British economy since the referendum date, I don't really see many EU countries willing to repeat the experiment again.

And there is no such thing as a slow Java app? Or a slow Objective-C app? Just because it's compiled, doesn't mean it's better. Some websites turn your phone into a space heater because the developer is shit, not because the tech is bad (HN doesn't make my phone blow up...). Dart will suffer the same problem - shit developers - so developing all this tech mumbo-jumbo is pointless.

AMP, in my opinion, was a step in the right direction. AMP is google's way of saying "you're all shit at developing on the web, use this very restricted way of developing a website and watch how fast it will go".

That's what we need. Don't put developers closer to the computer by giving them compiled languages. Move them as far away from the computer as you can. Languages should be moving in the direction of requiring the developer to do as little as possible. I need to import a package to make HTTP requests in Dart; every fucking app makes HTTP calls these days, how outdated is that? HTTP requests are baked in to javascript, I don't even need to think about what I need to import, I can spend mental cycles on real shit.
To answer that it helps to understand what Brexit is and isn’t. What it started out as was a platform for a marginal party, the BNP, later (essentially) rebranded as UKIP of Nigel Farrage fame. The problem is that some Tories (Jacob Rees-Mogg and the rest of the European Research Group) along with UKIP were causing a lot of infighting within the Tory party. So in walks our bum-faced catastrophe of a “hero” named David Cameron, who decides to use a brilliant political power play to shut down both UKIP and the Tory euroskeptics. That plan was a referendum on leaving the UK, which was expected to crash and burn horribly, thus giving political cover to Cameron and friends who could say “stop whining, the people have spoken.”

Then Cameron more or less sat on his thumbs while Rome burned, or in this case, Boris and Farrage ran around with torches (or a bus in Boris’ case.) As the US would learn shortly after, the power of shamelessly lying to pander to xenophobes is still very effective. In reaction Cameron and the remain crowd, confronted with people buying up ridiculous lies about vast savings and nonexistent trade deals, some dog whistles about Nazis... well the Remainers freaked out and tried to fight bullshit with bullshit.

We know what happened next, and Cameron wasted no time resigning with a skip and a hum. Literally. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bprjHYY90lo

That left a power vacuum into which the insanely ambitious tore each other to sheds while Theresa May watched and stirred a cauldron of baby seals and rendered hummingbird fat. When the scrum ended, the only person who hadn’t burned every bridge necessary for their colleagues to support was... Theresa May, originally for Remain, but happy to pull a complete 180 for power.

Now instead of Cameron bludgeoning UKIP and his own defectors with the “people’s will” it’s the Leavers who have that. Their position has finally evolved from lies and blandishments, to this one thing, “the people have spoken, even if they’re saying we need to slit our own throats.” Whoever tries to stop this will be ending their political career, and while history may appreciate their choice in the long the run, it would be a miserable retirement.

As a result we have a hardcore fanatical group led by Rees-Mogg who want the hardest Brexit possible, you have Boris just chasing power and willing to say or do anything, and the opposition is Jeremy Corbin. Whatever you think of his positions, his political skills are amateurish, and besides, he’s actually a Leaver too!

So... it’s a slow march off a cliff because the people in charge are too afraid to blink.

> Countries that have previously held referendums on joining the EU have done so after negotiations were 100% completed. Britain should have done the same when leaving: negotiate a complete Brexit deal first, then vote on that.

that was refused.

From a legal perspective it might be as easy. From a political stance this is near impossible. No leading British politician offers a narrative supporting the EU in any way. Theresa May doesn't really like Brexit, but likes limiting immigration and has a position of "the people voted, so we have to deliver", opposition leader Corbyn says "Europe is okay, but EU is to capitalism, but we need more socialism", Rees-Mogg and other Brexiteers claim that a good Brexit was possible. Others are not as loud and present. If Parliament now votes to cancel Brexit this will lead to riots from hard core Brexiteers, both in Parliament and on the roads of some regions of especially England. To cancel Brexit you need leading politicians to admit they were stupid and form a positive narrative.

You're making a lot of assumptions about how such a move would be done which I don't feel are warranted. You're picking the hardest most painful option and then using it to claim the process is painful rather than that the option you chose is painful.

If I was moving many small repos into a single mono repo then I'd do it one repo at a time. Presumably your small repos are independent entities so there's no reason to do a single massive switch. Transition each repo to the new build system inside the existing repo. Once that works then you can transition that repo into the mono-repo and tie together the build systems. No need to stop releases, no massive chance of everything failing, no weeks of debugging while the world is stopped, etc. Rinse and repeat until everything is moved over. Process becomes more optimized and less error prone with each repo that is moved over.

Yes, and it's used all over the place in EU corporate law. In most cases I've seen it applied (as a EU-based founder) to money laundering, taxation etc.

I'd be curious to see how this construction pans out. I bet it's been a good deal for the lawyers involved. They surely got paid well for figuring this out initially and will get paid again for testing it in the courts. So much for growing future revenue potential.
