> Your points around a compromised JS bundle are still possible but that has more to do with a company’s deployment/change management setup than JS itself imo

But that's the only point I intend to address here. If Pascal had been the language of the web then my question would have been about Pascal.

Therefore I don't see how SubtleCrypto changes matters much.

In short, if I get it right, the argument would be that in eg a mobile app, all the e2e logic (the core crypto plus the code around it) go through peer-review, then some release management process, then some review by Apple or Google, before it lands in my hands via their app stores' well secured delivery mechanism. In a web app, a single compromised server will compromise all security instantly. Generally I'm fine with trusting Mozilla's servers, but if I have to trust their servers then what's the point of end to end encryption?

If Apple was charging 30% and there was a competing Mozilla App Store for iOS charging 5%,

There was nothing stopping Mozilla from making a “Firefox phone” and having a fully integrated experience. Well they did try and failed to execute. As did Amazon, Ubuntu, and Facebook.

Apple was nowhere near the behemoth it is today when the iPhone was introduced. A company shouldn’t come under government scrutiny because competitors failed to execute.

If app makers don’t think the trade off is worth it, they are free to only target the other 80% of the phone market.

I guess they think selling loot boxes with Apple taking a 30% cut is worth it. Don’t be mistaken, that is where most money being spent on the App Store is being spent - on in app consumables.

The other major market is subscription to third party services and companies can and do sell those outside of the App Store.
That's a fair point. My reply was more in the context of the root comment - and with an average attacker in mind - where they were describing eavesdropping as opposed an attack carried out by a sophisticated actor.

My point was that MITMing HTTPS and HSTS isn't really necessary to carry out an attack as described by the root comment.

You only need to be in position to eavesdrop and/or MITM http connections to scrape together the necessary information; a much lower bar.
Most likely explanation. Someone wanting a bot to be less obvious would use a delay.

I find that a reasonable line of inquiry, but the obvious next question is: How would they have paid themselves salary without the venture capital? How would they have done open source and still earned a living without it?

I am not sure there are obvious models/examples that are working. I think there's a reason that "open core" is an increasingly popular thing to try to do. I'm not sure if I can think of many earning a living while producing high-complexity high-quality open source software _except_ "open core".

(And I still think "open core" is problematic for the continued viability of actual open source).
hmmm even if the response differs widely, wouldn't the index give an indication of the relative impact something would have? I've been reducing carbs and sugars, which aligns with lower GI foods, I don't really agree that its a hoax, it's helped me sustain energy levels throughout the day better.

>There are two main reasons I’m aware of. First, a certain kind of person tries to make a deeply sexist argument and reaches for “science” to back it up. The overall experience with that kind of thing is profoundly negative, and it has a pretty grim history, so there are strong reactions to it.

Whatever certain kind of non-scientific persons do politically should have zero effect on scientific output.

If X is a scientific fact, scientists are not OK to say that it doesn't hold, even if people regularly abuse X.

At the end of the day, a cow to a dairy farmer is just a machine. Whatever airs people may put on when describing how they treat their animals, the reality is they would (and do) sell them off to the highest bidder once the the juice stops being worth the squeeze.

We don't do this to other animals we claim to care for: an old dog that loses his youthful energy is still given a spot in the home and, if the time comes, will be put down in a more-or-less humane way. An old cow that loses her ability to produce milk is sold to whoever can make use of what's left of her body and promptly forgotten. If economic demands are the reason for this practice, then we can confirm that the amount of profit one can derive from a cow is the primary driver of interactions with her.

Words like "warp" and "profit" are a symbol of a fundamentally different way of thinking about what a "reasonable" relationship with an animal should be. However, I don't think you can accurately describe what the relationship between a dairy farmer and a cow is without such language, as owning a dairy farm is a business and making a profit is of course a primary concern. We see companies large and small externalize costs in pursuit of profit. What's so sacred about the dairy farmer that we have to tiptoe around describing the nature of their business?

> describe sexuality conversion therapy as "therapy helping gay folks be comfortable with heterosexual partners."

Quoting the Wikipedia definition: "Conversion therapy is the pseudoscientific practice of trying to change an individual's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual using psychological or spiritual interventions."

Conversion therapy has a long and ugly history and is well defined. What we are talking about here is not that. Clearly conversion therapy is expressly negative. It tells a person that their hard wired sexuality that comes from birth is wrong and that they need to change something that can't be changed. This isn't the same as the therapy being described by Dr Soh, which appears to be more akin to "you're okay as you are and do not need to change."

There seems to be an attempt to redefine conversion therapy to extend it to a different case. I think we would be better served by a new term for this kind of therapy.

This thread started because someone labelled Dr Soh as a supporter of conversion therapy, which has a specific meaning. They did this as an ad hominem attack because conversion therapy is widely felt to be disgusting. The purpose was to get people not to read or consider this article, and the article was not even on a trans subject.

We found no evidence that she supports conversion therapy.

> However, it's heavily biased towards better outcomes for cisgender children, disregarding the outcomes for transgender children who will inevitably be traumatized by years of therapy geared at convincing them that they aren't who they know they are.

You're asserting Dr Soh is advocating traumatizing children for years to convince them to be something they aren't? We have no evidence of that. We can all agree any therapy that traumatizes a child is not good therapy. That's a terrible fucking therapist. I suspect Dr Soh agrees with that too.

How do we separate a child who has gender dysphoria and thinks they need to transition but will later change their mind from a child who has gender dysphoria and really was born in the wrong body? Is it possible to provide therapy to the gender dysphoric child who later doesn't want to change, without harming the gender dysphoric child that does later want to change?

It's easy with homosexuality, because the principal we can apply is simply not to interfere and to allow the child to accept themselves and their sexual feelings as they are. No reasonable people think this is bad.

What's the equivalent safe approach for helping children with gender dysphoria? No therapy? Years of therapy geared at reinforcing that they must change their sex to be happy? This is nowhere near as cut and dry as the case homosexuality and conversion therapy.
Which right wing? I don't think that Mitch McConnell is a Nazi. I've not heard anyone call him one. Lots of other right wing politicians, activists, journalists and even right wing shock jocks you can say that about. Most are not. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are not Nazis even though I entirely despise them.

But if by right wing do you mean Richard Spencer, Milos Yiannopoulis, the Portland Proud Boy crowd or the people doing the torchlit march in Charlottesville who were chanting "blood and soil." If so, then yes, the right wing is a bunch of Nazis.

NZ dairy farms seem to be doing o.k.

I wonder how they compare (size/costs/distance to market) with US farms.

I do know that NZ signed the CPTPP, which made markets for milk more open.

A few years ago, one of my sons’ soccer team finished in the second to last spot and so they were relegated to a lower tier. I knew that the team above was “cheating” by playing too many players from out of their district. Our Club President said “prove” it to me and I’ll do something about it. Well, it’s amazing how much public information is out there such as where the boys attend school, phone numbers they tell people on unprotected Twitter and Facebook accounts, etc. I felt dirty knowing all this information about young adults. In the end, even though we had the proof, we didn’t do anything about it.
Yes, I want to point out that diabetics react differently and really do have to manage insulin, it's the idea that metabolically healthy people also have to that is a red herring. Obesity is not an insulin disorder just because insulin is involved. Diabetes is absolutely an insulin disorder.

Also not clarifying rights before you publish something is just a seriously rookie move. Rule of thumb is that nothing gets published until you have the author rights agreement signed.

Minor nitpick. It's not that the engines directly cause stalls(EDIT: of course if you pitch up too much you will stall at some point). Is that they can cause some unintended lift in some flight configurations. So MCAS is supposed to pitch down (by trimming) to keep the attitude under control

Boeing's main argument is that the procedure for dealing with runaway trim is completely unchanged compared to other planes, so this shouldn't require any additional training.

I understand their reasoning, but it seems odd to not even inform that there was a change, so that this would be more on top of the pilots minds. It's even worse that the system engages as soon as flaps are retracted. Since 737's usually take off with at least some minimum flaps, and retract them soon after take-off once enough airspeed has been attained (but while the plane is still at low altitude), this is quite dangerous. Pilot workload is high at this stage and there is limited altitude to recover.

That said, since this issue is on top of everyone's minds, and US carriers have added the optional safety indicators, we are unlikely to see a crash any time soon. Pilots will be jumping to the override switches at any sign of trouble.

I think the OP is referring to the social conditioning we've had to prefer content platforms like Medium.

> In other words, should we all just be eating as if we were diabetics?

I assume you mean low glycemic load. I don't think so. I think we should all focus primarily on eating the right number of calories, and the behaviors that get us to do that. If that is Keto, or IF, or Low GI, even something random like afternoon naps then great.

Also, for some populations, like athletes, a low-gi diet would end up resulting in decreased performance. I think it's really difficult to make sweeping dietary recommendations because there are just so many confounding factors.

Hey, author here.

A lot of things are performed on the server, and then the server responds with a "flash" which is basically a little bar that says "Data saved." or "There was an error: ...".

There are a few places where I used a simple 5-liner to validate a field or something.

Unfortunately there was one place where I needed some heavier JS (for which I used Mithril.js), but it was absolutely required for when you're editing an invoice. You wouldn't want to edit line items and wait for a server response every time you make one change, so I simply determined that this was an area where I had no choice. Mithril simply modifies the DOM inside the <form> element, and then saving is a plain old POST request when you submit the form after you've made all of your changes.

The unfortunate reality is that I couldn't completely free myself from JavaScript, but got a lot closer.

Wanted to clarify why Hacker Noon had to move off Medium. Here’s why:

1. Medium decided it no longer wanted to support independent publications of curators and writers like us, The Awl (RIP), The Ringer, and others.
2. Medium at one point allowed publications to monetize using promotions, but arbitrarily decided to cut those off earlier last year, which cut off many independent curators and publications from their sole revenue stream.
3. At the same time, Medium put ads on every page of our site, including pop up ads.

Hacker Noon 2.0 sent an email to contributors asking if they wanted to join our new community, and in exchange Hacker Noon asks for a non-exclusive license to the content, just like Medium. Contributors can remove the content at any time.

In the move to our new infrastructure, we will work hard to make sure links don’t break (which is what will happen now for Hacker Noon content still on Medium), never put any story behind a paywall, and be the best and most up-front amplify button for all people writing great tech content.

We’ve taken your feedback on the existing ToS for Hacker Noon and will be updating that soon. We are independent writers and curators ourselves, so we have no interest in owning your content.

We’re here to build a great community, and we hope you’ll join us. Thanks for your help and support.

Back to the Internet!

It depends on what you mean by "completely quit"; in a practical sense, yes, but not in a comprehensive philosophical sense. I never used Gmail anyway, so it was just a matter of switching to Duckduckgo for search and Bing for maps. I use Android phones, but I never link them to any Google account credentials and I don't use the Google app store, and generally I disable all the Google apps since they constantly nag you to log in. I have Chrome on my Mac at home, but I only use it for checking Facebook; for all my real browsing I use Firefox.
If it did that unprompted, it would be a privacy issue. You may have asked it something that you don't want people currently in the room with you to know about.

There is a standard drag-and-drop API, but unfortunately (bafflingly) it's imperative/event-based, not declarative. Seems like it would be simple for them to add HTML hooks that use the same underlying code.

It only started 2011 at the earliest, and seems like the bulk of it was 2015-2017, so you won't have much data yet; most of those kids are still in college. You could look at the GPA I suppose. It's also an interesting ethical question; what do the universities do with the kids? Were any of them unaware of the scheme? I read that the test-taker would take the test "with" the kid... so presumably they do some kind of paper mixup at the end. It's conceivable that the kid might not even realize their parents have paid somebody to take their test at the same time as them.
Interesting. I’m hoping that most contributors will accept licensing their content to the new website, because decentralization is good. The Medium email seemed a little disingenuous in how it called HackerNoon a “container”.

Slimvoice - A Webapp Without JavaScript is a series where I document how I rebuilt my app, Slimvoice, using as little JavaScript as possible.

Here's a recurring story in the programming field.

A new variation on technology is highly successful. The field starts using it enthusiastically, but doesn't keep track of the costs and cost/benefit. The new tech gets rather overused. Some people come out with optimizations. (Usually involving what amounts to caching.) Other insightful contrarian people take a minimalist approach. Rinse and repeat.

Once aware, one can spot this cycle happening. It is left as an exercise to the reader, how this can be used to profit.
