This article is plain wrong. The original NZZ (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) article, which is linked in this article, says nowhere that the Tesla Model 3 was the best selling car in March. The Model 3 was only the fourth best selling car in March. You can find the original data here: https://www.auto.swiss/statistiken/autoverkaeufe-nach-modell...

According to the data the Škoda Octavia was sold nearly two times as much as the Model 3. It must be said, however, that the Model 3 is the best-selling electric car.

Ask HN: Does the web need a `license` tag?
Okay, it doesn't have to be a tag, nor be called license. The real, somewhat longer question would be: Do HTML and similar technologies need a mechanism to encode licensing / copyright information in a uniform, machine-readable way? This could take the shape of a tag in the header of a document, an attribute that can be used with any or just a few tags, etc.

The web has shifted from people hosting their own content on a website or blog, with a copyright notice in the footer, to submitting larger platforms, be it imgur and similar, social media, or sites that focus more heavily on text as their content, even including hacker news itself.

How should a crawler know, if it may or may not take some random text from a website and display it somewhere else? How can it know, who to credit, or whether to credit someone at all?

Searching google hasn't brought up any way to encode any of this in HTML, maybe I'm missing something? If there really isn't any such mechanism, should there be one? What should it look like?

Interestingly, on Wikipedia, there are articles both for and against whether Wikipedia is a social networking site:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_s...

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_a_socia...

--

To your point - I can see why Wikipedia is a "social network" according to the social science definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network

However, there is also a distinction between "social network" and "social networking service": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_service

This is again a matter of language and semantics. If we wanted to get super-specific, we would call sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter "social networking sites" or "social networking services". Instead, we colloquially wrap everything up into the term "social network".

To that extent, the intention and/or context of "social network" here is more about whether Wikipedia fits into the landscape of major public social networking sites mostly meant for socializing (ex. Facebook) instead of some other niche or segment.

Wikipedia has a different use-case, product, and business model than "social networks" (social networking sites) like Facebook or Myspace, so it's something to consider when making the mental association of what a social network is and comparing it against those major brands.

There's millions of users on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedians), so it's not far-fetched that out of so many people, there are going to be those that clash with others in the network in bad ways.

I bet if you look at other information-oriented "social network" organizations, such as in academia, the same sentiment would come up where there would also be unpleasant people and harassment to deal with as minutiae is argued over, so this is not something unique to Wikipedia in that regard.

Overall, it would be nice if Wikipedia stayed committed to capturing information in a non-biased and objective way to preserve it for future users. It's valuable to have multiple groups contribute their own experience to various subjects, as long as it's not done destructively in a way that is intentionally set to follow an opinionated agenda, which would devalue the 'encyclopedic' nature of Wikipedia.

I'm totally biased, but I think Gitpod might be the closest thing to Cider here, being a hosted IDE + container solution that continuously prebuilds your workspaces along with your code.

That may be true, but in this case simply listing a few system fonts in their order of precedence resulted in less code to maintain since you lose the import directive. See the updated article.

In general, the way I see it, relying on code and data from a third party at run-time is a liability. The code and data you no longer have to maintain is now impossible to audit because the vendor may replace it, stop providing the service, start using it for tracking etc. at any moment. It's code that you should be maintaining but can't.

I feel like so many people lamenting jQuery might be remembering the pain and frustration of dealing with the monstrosities people built with the library rather than the library itself.

As an alternative to page counts, we used HLLs to estimate (unique) cardinality, and were quite happy with it. There is a postgres extension (postgresql-hll) and also a version for the JVM using the same algorithm/data format.
How is using jQuery more satisfying and productive than using something like React?

You spend 10 times more time writing so much more code having to make the UI 'react' to the changes that you wish to see.

With React/Vue/Angular it's just a case of adding a conditional.

With jQuery you've gotta do something like

jQuery('.this').hide();

jQuery('.that').show();

jQuery('.thisotherthing').show();

Gets really confusing, hard to test and hard to maintain.

Then when you want to do things with fancy selects and dynamic option choices and all that good stuff it just gets even more unruly.

With modern JS frameworks you declare a state and your UI reflects your state. Rather than with jQuery having to manage both the state and the UI all at the same time.

I'm forced to use nothing but jQuery at work so I'm quite competent with it so it's not from lack of experience. It provides nothing but pain and misery.

A Graser Breakthrough at Los Alamos (1986) [pdf]
In England a patient who is detained under the act can be given medical treatment against their will, but the Mental Health Act includes an exemption for ECT that makes it much harder for doctors to provide ECT against a patient's wishes.

That information can be found in the Code of Practice to the Mental Health Act. The code isn't law, but it describes the various acts, statutes, and case law and so a health care practitioner would have to ahve good reason to deviate from it.

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

If you want to make it even harder for them to give you ECT against your wishes you can make an advance directive. Go see a lawyer that deals with mental capacity stuff and get one drawn up. Be clear and specific.

But, please do take note of what this woman has said:

> Despite the discomfort and the temporary memory loss it caused, I would have ECT again without hesitation. People voluntarily undergo much more invasive and damaging medical interventions to save or to prolong their lives—chemotherapy, radiation, open-heart surgery, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants—and speak freely about those experiences, but continue to think about cancer and heart disease differently from mood disorders that can be equally deadly. In telling my own less than ideal story 30 years after the fact, I don’t want to discourage anyone from having this potentially life-saving treatment. What was difficult in my experience would now be unusual because the treatment protocol has improved over the years to greatly reduce the side effects. And my situation was extreme not only because of the perilous condition of my mind, but because my body was already hypersensitive and aggravated by drug allergies.

I know a few people who've had ECT and a couple of them hated it and are still angry it was done to them, but most of them are glad they had it done and would do it again.

It's hard to work out how much harm it causes because it's only used in people with the most severe depression, and that causes similar harms itself.

Yup -- and a quick reminder (for the people in the back) that Google unilaterally controls what more than 3 billion people find when they search for information. This is a larger impact than any government in the history of humanity -- and unlike any other government in the history of humanity, Google has no constitution or laws which require it to be accountable to its citizens (or users, in this case).

You might argue that some regimes like China or the USSR only had theoretical protections for their citizens (with abuses by the government being commonplace and unpunished), but Google has no such protections to even pretend to follow. And like most independent nation-states, Google feels no pressure to obey other nations' laws if it's inconvenient for them.

Something to keep in mind is that the government is not a whole. It's lost of disparate entities all working towards their own interests. This [1] is their AG and his own personal ideological perspective is what you'd expect for the person that filed the lawsuit. And, you'll find this to invariably be the case on government (and private) actions. This is another example of why real diversity, ideological diversity, is absolutely critical. It keeps everybody honest. If their AG was ideologically in support of the consequences of the actions of the Motel, it's much less likely that this case would have been filed.

This reality is something that should never be ignored as it goes all the way to the top. For instance the Supreme Court is the highest voice in our nation on legal matters and they generally only hear cases where the outcome should be complex and difficult to perceive. Yet on most matters you could predict with a pretty good degree of certainty exactly how most the court would vote, on most issues, based on little more than knowledge of their own individual ideologies. This is why I'd never want a 9-0 supreme court (or even a 7-2), even if the majority aligned strongly with my views and values. We're all subject to bias and other issues. And the only really good way to make sure we keep ourselves based and honest is to ensure the presence of dissenting voices.

How unbelievably short-sighted. This is how you end up with the situation that happened with Internet Explorer in the 90s most of the 2000s. (Of course, I'll readily admit Chromium is far better than IE, but the comparison still holds.)

It's not in the best interest of the users or developers for there to be a single web browser. Chromium is not the world wide web.

I've seen several articles like this lately and it surprises me that developers aren't aware of the fields in which Mozilla is leading the charge. WebAssembly, for example, is seeing a large portion of development coming from Mozilla.

Is Mozilla perfect? Of course not. I could list probably a dozen mistakes and missteps they've made just off the top of my head. But I'm not advocating for everyone to switch to Firefox.

I simply prefer options and competition in the browser space. In fact, I wish there were more meaningful browser alternatives out there instead of just a bunch of different GUI wrappers around Chromium.

Social networks don’t tend towards meanness per se. Only those that are incentivised to drive engagement, like those powered by ads, have an inherent tendency towards devolving into cesspools. Wikipedia doesn’t appear to be inherently corrupted in the way Facebook or Twitter are.
It may not be for you. It’s fine for me. (FWIW, I also politically strongly disagree with EU’s draconian emission standards that are attempting to push EVs on people who don’t won’t EVs.)

The route you mention is full of Superchargers. You absolutely don’t need to wait an hour for a charge, and that’s a bad way to charge (lower rate of charge on fully empty and mostly full batteries). And you depart your hope fully charged and then charge in your Kitzbuhel hotel. On the way, there’s plenty of opportunities to stop for a 15-20 minutes charge and a coffee+bathroom break.

I can’t drive more than 3, 4 max, hours without taking a small break. Most of the time, the damn car is notifying me it’s all charged and ready to continue before I am done with my coffee. It’s fine for me.

You should stop and do some serious research on why people don't like AMP. You're talking about the Web like it's a Google "product." You're hijacking the Web in a way that will eventually destroy it.

Publishers don't want their content restricted and hosted on Google's servers on Google's domain, but they are getting their arms twisted by reduced rankings if they don't implement it. They also don't fully understand the long term implications of what they are doing.
