I sell in US and I also support ecommerce sellers in US. Most of us have raised the prices of products to counter the tariffs. You are actually paying income tax as these tariffs.

Some products which can be produced in US will benefit from tariffs. But the whole point of not having tariffs is to buy cheap labour from outside and move your own country up the value chain.

Also, no one is going to start manufacturing these products because the next President is going to remove the tariffs and destroy the advantages, if any.

Just my 2 cents.
I just wish the client was free in this case because it would be a shame to see it turn into abandonware. I've only used it since yesterday now, but it's quite performant.
I'm assuming the justification for the EU tariffs was the WTO's decision last month that the state of Washington is giving Boeing an illegal subsidy in the form of tax breaks.
Do you think the EU should be able to enforce a law on a global scale and completely ignore country jurisdiction like they attempt to do with GDPR?
Hint: read American news from non-American sources, like BBC or better, German/French sources if you can handle the translation.

Better yet: from Canada, i.e. the CBC.

Then you see it from the outside, where narrators have less skin in the game, and it's all less click-baity.
I mean, you can still install it, so long as the Gab/Dissenter team hosts the plugin themselves and signs it (it says so in their notice), but I still get what you're saying and I agree.

As I understand it, we're talking about an augmentation plugin; essentially automatically showing a Reddit or HN thread for any site you visit. I've never used it, but I imagine the comments are not too far away from Voat; pretty much a cesspool.

Recently I've been reading Jonathan Haidt's book The Coddling of the American Mind and it's made me realize just how quickly we are to "otherize" people who don't agree with. Americans are very quick to split in us vs them and it's sickening. While Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and now Mozilla may think they're doing a good thing by blocking what they consider hateful speech, it's just helping these people double down on think they're in the right.

We should not be afraid of ideas. Speech != violence. Violence is violence. With platforms banning more and more offensive content, and increasing the label of what is bannable, we're seeing a huge split in our world. People who could once agree to disagree now don't even want to share the same space with one another. It's all call out culture and it's terrible.

I still use Firefox because fuck Google and Chrome, but it's getting to the point where the "lesser of the two evils" is still making really questionable decisions.
The business logic may be in JavaScript, but the rendering is all native opengl/c++.

We’re going by demand with this. So far most people have requested PHP, so we’re leaning towards that as next language for now.
I'm pretty sure that's called... well, not capitalism.
So, it is bad that Firefox was removed? Are you saying that you think that Firefox needs to be crippled enough that school districts feel comfortable using it?

The fact that it is enabling students (or anyone) to bypass restrictions is a good thing.

Why don't you try looking at this from another point of view. Firefox is a powerful important tool, and I want it to continue to be so, even if it is not ideal for everyone.
Ah, thanks for the response! So the number of messages you can send is precisely the number of keys that you generate at the start? How many is that? This also probably means you don't support long-running (think multi-year) conversations or the ability to add/remove people to/from the group, is that right?
Gab expected it too. They even instituted anti-hate-speech code into their Dissenter backend, but it was still banned by Mozilla.
my take on this is that's it's better focus on major actions taken during a mandate (and that's what people who don't care too much about politics do) to then inform the next vote.

that's why politics before the rise of the internet were much more formal, people remembered what was done and said.

now there is just so much noise it's very hard to distinguish the signal, which leads to people being influenced and directed into "identity politics" (are you yellow or green, blue or red, left or right, good or bad?)

Why hasn’t evolution dealt with the inefficiency of ageing?
While I'm sure it would be quickly sued out of existence, are there sites specializing in this sort of information? I'd love to see names of founders/early investors/board members/... easily associated with these kinds of decisions (i.e. track records of the good and bad). I have to send feelers out into my network to dig up this kind of information but that's not an option for a lot of people new to the industry.
Honestly, this is a reflection of my greatest fear of the modern world - cuts to education and social services from the last generation of Regan/Thatcher-nomics has both cut western countries economies off at the ankles while simultaneously saddling us with an overwhelming majority of unquestioning individuals that are happy to go along with whatever they are told.

I don't know how the west will recover from this but if there is one thing I've come to view as a vital component of that recovery it's arts spending. We seriously need to up critical thinking skills in the general populace instead of continuing to pump out trade-schooled apprentices (that includes a bunch of us developers, many of whom are more heavily rote taught than anything else).

Our purpose in the universe is... well probably nothing, but it'd be nice if we equipped everyone to deal with life and their journey through it with as many tools as possible. It is possible to find some educational spending wasteful and desire to make it more efficient, but the people who say "we're wasting money educating all these people" those are the most dangerous of all.
Maybe this is naive, but don't tariffs, like subsidies, risk encouraging local inefficiencies? So your point of view seems shortsighted?

I understand that in theory they can be used to capture externalities to level the playing field, but I find it hard to believe anyone can really figure anything close to the real amount of "unfairness" (for lack of a better word)
The term "meta-language" shouldn't be used to identify a specific language; it's a general term for a language that describes or manipulates another language(s). For instance, the rules language for XTRAN, our Expert System, is a meta-language, and we call it "meta-code", because it manipulates many different computer languages (including itself!), as well as data and text.

A well-known ML example is Backus-Naur Form (BNF), which is a meta-language for specifying well-formed statements in a language. We use BNF to drive XTRAN's parsing engine, which executes the BNF at parse time.
I was reading a while ago about how many nukes we set off in the 50s and 60s and thought: what are we doing today that future generations will think "what were they thinking?"

You're doing exactly what I'm saying with the shilling tho.

In what way was it aggressive? Do you mean that it moved the trim by more than the (IIRC) 2.5 degrees per iteration it had been doing regularly?

That's just, like, your opinion, man, especially after the trade deal with China is finalized. About time someone actually raised a stink about what's going on with China and Europe in terms of foreign trade. It's unpleasant work, but it has to be done, moreso with China than with the EU.

FTA: "“Our ultimate goal is to reach an agreement with the E.U. to end all W.T.O.-inconsistent subsidies to large civil aircraft,” Mr. Lighthizer said."

As a US citizen I don't see anything controversial about this stance.
If you are likely to be attacked by an entity that can do a MITM between email servers, you are already well beyond the level of threat where you need to encrypt end to end. This isn't very interesting.
> today's western democracies are the best place, and time in history, to be alive

> OP's position is basically "everything was better in the past" [that's from your other comment below]

I think the past was horrible, and I'm glad I live in this century. Why did you conclude that I like the past? Was some of my wording ambiguous?

I said:

> this idea has never worked in the past, and there's no evidence that it can work in the near future.

In other words, I believe the majority of the public was not, is not, and will not be (in the foreseeable future) interested in being informed and educated about politics.

Also, I personally never thought of myself as a cynic - I find the world to be quite enjoyable, and getting better (just not in this particular area).

Every word of the article's headline is true, and the facts it contains (subject, object, action, and magnitude) are the most important facts of this story.

The reasoning you want to see in the headline is in the first paragraph.

If you're interpreting the headline as "Trump is unilaterally fucking up the world order yet again" then that is something that happens entirely in your head.

It's somewhat bold to fault others for an error that is entirely yours.
Fair question. It would depend on the individual, lots of people would also probably run to their doctors and get increased length/dosage prescriptions so they have some emergency supplies. Younger low income people might just cancel their insurance entirely, those with pre-existing conditions would have to consider employment changes potentially (contractor -> full time) and similarly for those on the marketplace.

Edit: To get on my soapbox a bit here, I think people are being a bit black and white as usual. Yea, you don't need to read every political opinion piece by Fox, CNN and NYT, but you also should read more than exactly zero. Neither of these extremes can possibly be optimal for everyone (or anyone probably). HN really likes the narrative "Title: X is problematic and we should fix it. Top Comment: Well I completely stopped X because it was bad for me and now everything is awesome and I'm a 10x dev!" but it's never really that simple.

AMP is just a set of conventions and limitations that, when followed, make for a fast site. Anyone can make a fast site if they follow similar rules. Most sites don't do that because either the developers want to use something that's "nicer" to code but a lot bigger, or because the marketing department insists on loading 12 different tracking and analytics progams--when they probably only use one or two.
I do fully agree and understand that freedom of speech by statute is not the same as freedom of speech in practice. But you at least have to start at the level of the laws. If your laws don't provide for freedom of speech, you're certainly not going to get it in practice. A legal framework for freedom of speech is not a sufficient condition for achieving it, but it is a necessary one.

And the issues you mention happen in European countries, too, just with much lower risk of being shot, and usually with different minority groups (though I'm sure black people face problems with police in European countries as well). And the Congress laughing incident is certainly ridiculous - but you'll also find many similarly ridiculous stories in Britain, for example. Don't get me wrong; I have many problems with the US, and think most European countries do a lot of things better than we do. I just think the freedom of speech laws are one thing we usually do better than they do.

In the US, you aren't going to be arrested for a tweet (unless that tweet threatens violence), regardless of your ethnicity or sexuality. This is something that does actually sometimes happen in other countries. No, that's not necessarily a huge win when you consider real, everyday situations like black men having to be far more cautious with police than other people, often risking their lives, but I think you kind of just have to tackle freedom and liberty issues as they arise. We should appreciate where our system works well and vehemently dissent where it fails.

The issues you mention are major and do definitely need to be dealt with to achieve a state of real freedom for everyone in the US. But I also think those problems aren't insurmountable, and that practical freedom of speech is an eventually attainable goal. I also think we're slowly getting better over time, even though the problems remain immense. A lot of people in the US are dedicating their lives to ensuring laws and standards are applied fairly.
Noisebridge seems to do a decent job of keeping tools available and impressing on people that it's not their stuff. I'm constantly surprised by the quality and functionality of what they have.
I don’t agree. In your example, being in someone else’s home doesn’t put you in a public space for purposes of recording consent.

A dumb recording device can’t do something illegal without its owner’s/user’s affirmative action. If the homeowner uses the recording thing illegally they’re liable for that use.

In contrast, Alexa and similar devices operate on rules built-in by their builders. They do what their builders intend, not what applicable law or their owners require. Liability should rest with the builders.

I'd love for Google to explain the justification for putting _only_ AMP content in the "Top Stories" carousel. Google needs to either rename the carousel to be "Top AMP stories" or allow non-AMP stories to appear in the carousel. Isn't the whole purpose of search to prioritize the most relevant content, regardless of the type of HTML used to create it?
How is it working at Google? AMP breaks sites and makes it look like they're hosted elsewhere.

It makes sites take multiple minutes to display after they redirect to the original version.
No its the responsibility of the device creator. This is more like an analogy where a self driving car killed someone as the company made the device activate under certain commands with no failsafe to prevent users who didn't agree to terms. Company was greedy to get the recordings.
Galloping Ghost is a treasure! They have TONS of games that are the only exemplar in existence (The world's only genuine Beavis & Butthead prototype arcade cabinet, for instance) and the owners are true gameplay connoisseurs- There is almost no game in history with decent gameplay that cannot be found at Galloping Ghost... they are true completists for everything that is actually fun to play (the main things they're missing are the expensive early collector games from the Pong era, but those were mostly uninteresting from a gameplay perspective)
> Politics aren’t the only way to change the status quo.

The status quo is a political arrangement. It's just a way of referring to the state of power's distribution across institutions and people. That's political.

There is literally, definitionally nothing apolitical that affects the status quo.

Changing the status quo is--inescapably, apodictically--political.

Uber and AirBnB are highly political institutions.
The US has forever been ignoring jurisdiction boundaries just like that. Ever heard of FATCA? Banks anywhere in the world need to report US-resident account holders to the IRS.

While you're probably bound by some restricted shareholder agreement, you may get a lot of mileage by just asking a lawyer to ask some questions on your behalf. If this restructuring is going on in the context of some larger time sensitive deal, they may throw something your way to not screw up the timeline. Of course, this all depends on your tolerance for pain.

Google has done a complete and total 180 in the past 10 years. I remember when the name inspired and made you feel safe that this thing you were using was made with character and thought to your well-being. Now it's a dry-heave feeling having to touch anything Google.
Certainly, as long as the device does not trivialize the violation of those rights. If a car designed for road use by a human driver did not have a windshield to see out of, I'd say it is designed in a way to violate the rights of others.

Are Alexa and others designed to reasonably ensure only consenting users are being recorded?
Knowledge about the Individual Mandate matters a lot to lower income folks. We have to follow the news to learn about such things, whereas the privileged techie does not.
The world is at peril, and full of people who are suffering. I can easily call an oil company evil, because they are burning the earth. I can call a food manufacturer that knowingly puts poison in their products to save a few bucks evil. I cannot bring myself to call Facebook or Google evil because they are configuring computers to display ads that introduce people to products they might want to buy. It’s really a triumph of human progress that they have managed to amass such wealth while causing so little harm.
Somewhat surprised that there is no mention of The Correspondent yet. The Dutch version has been quite successful for quite a few years now, and they're launching an international version later this year[0][1].

(Having said that, the authors of De Correspondent sometimes come across as oblivious to how their world views are shaped by living in the cultural bubble that is the Randstad[2]. There is a certain arrogance to the writing style that just makes it feel like the kind of thing that people living in Amsterdam would write, and it sometimes rubs me the wrong way. I guess that makes it the Dutch equivalent to the New Yorker.)

For what it's worth, you could turn on the built-in encryption within most Powerline adapters. (Usually a button labeled "Security" or similar). Then you can leak anything you want, and still be reasonably safe.

Agree, I prefer to open amp site because most of time it simply load faster.
Women are people too, so that wouldn't be how such merging happens. Most likely homo sapiens greatly outnumbered the neanderthals, so any neanderthals (whether more or female) that mated with humans had their own DNA diluted and eventually absorbed into the homo sapien population.
I was never on a schedule this bad but when I was doing regular overtime (~52 hrs/week, the worst weeks coming in at 60) I found that my work drained me physically to the point where I just lost all ability to enjoy my life and do... anything - I just sort of collapsed through a work day into the next work day with a blearily remember transit ride and face-stuffed-with-pizza home time between it. As one of the two back-end developers I put my foot down regarding more OT and got out of that job as soon as I had a solid alternative.

They should not save recordings by default. They only should save recordings of people who opted-in to be a beta tester or people who spotted a bug and want to send a bug report. But companies instead make every user a guinea pig by default and try not to disclose it clearly hoping the user won't realise it.

It is interesting that while there are several manufacturers, all of them opt-in users as testers by default, no matter what product you choose. So maybe such market needs a little stricter regulation.

> Then there’s users begging Google to allow them to use more than 50kb of CSS. Yes, most site’s CSS is bloated. But 50kb is an absurdly small, arbitrary limit.

I think for static articles 50kb should be plenty. The linked page itself uses only 35kb and a third of that is fontawesome. And 32kb of that is actually unused without javascript enabled. So the site only uses 3kb, but 50kb is absurdly small?

This site (Hacker News) gets by with 2 kb.
