Fraud aside, seems like a more clear choice of terms to label these “Customer’s Choice” if the label is based on higher ratings and fewer returns etc.
I'm surprised. I've always thought that "Amazon's Choice" was paid advertisement and have avoided these suggestions. When I buy something on Amazon, I usually take reviews from elsewhere into account or click on the most negative Amazon reviews to check whether there is a particular problem with the product.

It seems hard to believe that many customers take into account some label that looks like paid advertisement.
There was a dutch documentary about kekistan, where they interviewed one of the creators. If i remember correctly it was giving a rather nice insight into the phenomena.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97FGbbTzJZ4 (subtitles, Interview from 3:54 onword)

Just assuming everyone with a Kekistanflag is a Nazi is making it to easy on yourself. Sure seeing something as black and white is easy, but if you work under an assumption that isnt correct your aimed result will also naturally be different then expected.

edit: And the reaction is telling. Not trying to understand your enemy is one of the stupid things anyone can do and a core reason why our society goes to shit hard. You assume what they want and they assume what you want. You can act as if they are all Nazis and guess what, after a while they will act that way. I doubt you could have made the far right a better present then the behavior of the past years.
By that argument we actually orbit the centre of the galaxy, with the sun causing a minor wobble on top of that orbit.

I do think that sometimes you just need a simple static website and then don't need an SPA.

I think SPAs are good when you have to handle a lot of dynamic data. Especially realtime data.

I built a sample SPA with VueJS, Asyngular and RethinkDB to demo how easy it is.

It's a relatively complex app where all the views update in realtime but all the server code is less than 300 lines.

The framework does most of the work; on the back end, all you need to do is define the data schema and access control rules on the server side. See https://github.com/SocketCluster/ag-crud-sample/blob/6805499...

For the front end, I use VueJS in the simplest possible way without any build step during development. I just define my main app component and setup a component for each page: https://github.com/SocketCluster/ag-crud-sample/blob/master/...

For data, I just use my own model and collection components to bind to the server data in real-time: https://github.com/SocketCluster/ag-crud-sample/blob/master/...

The collection component lets you bind to a 'view' which is declared in the schema on the server.

It's just CRUD with realtime subscriptions built into the model and collection objects, nothing special.

You can achieve a lot more if you just keep things simple (at least conceptually) and use the right tools.
It doesn't matter if these things are said and done ironically. If they are perceived as being serious they become serious.

The debate could only occur as something like "at what point does this become serious". For example does it take newspapers to say so, or your social circle , or is it independent of external influence. Could all jokes be offensive in that way?
The interesting thing to me is since the long Easter weekend of XR protests in the UK, opinion polls have shown them rising in popularity and environment polling higher too.

XR are not interested in making friends, but causing enough disruption to get government to treat the issue seriously, in the manner of civil rights and universal suffrage actions. They've certainly increased awareness and discussion. That they actually seem to be making friends by doing so would seem a surprise bonus.

Not only that, the signs are it's working, as change (insignificant tokenism, but nonetheless a step) has already achieved. Between XR and the school strikes parliament has actually declared a climate emergency, and even prospective Tory leadership candidates have declared positions on zero emissions. I don't expect the Tory party to actually do much, but it's a hook on which further legislation will be hung as XR and others are aiming to make it impossible to ignore.
Even as you insist on choosing a privileged reference frame for, say, aesthetic reasons, it's still not all the planets moving around the Sun. Did you not read the article? It's all the planets and the Sun moving around the barycenter. If you try to think through what your words even mean, you'll realize that they don't even mean anything, much less describe a physical reality.
Is there an eBook edition? Strangely there’s an Italian eBook but I’ve not found an English one.
Then they are going about it the wrong way. It is know at this point that the way to change people is to befriend them, listen to them and make sure that they see you as human, despite the differences.

It worked on the Klan, it worked on the babist church. Of course it is not satisfying and you get no virtue points.
In reality, when you attack a group, it gets stronger, unless it retains the same strength, or gets weaker. That’s admittedly a less satisfying rule, but at least it’s true.

There is so much entertainment in SPA vs HTML and similarly Vim vs Visual Studio, static vs. dynamic types etc. debates. But to be boring (sorry!) it all comes down to the most approriate tool for the job. At work it's a SPA because it's an application delivered via the web. Delivering via not the web wouldn't work as well, and delivering it as not an application is a non starter.

My current side project is a HTML sprinkled with JS, turn off JS and you can use most of the site kind of thing. Why? Because ... well mainly SEO to be honest. But there you go ... reasons!
Knowing is a very fuzzy bar here. There are/were people who turned to 4chan's /b/ (or other boards) for a very twisted way of guidance. ("Should I kill myself?", "shoot up the school", do "an hero" etc.)

Of course in these cases the Internet Hate Machine's response is the same, but the intensity and effectiveness varies.

Is any single commenter legally responsible? Probably not. And not because they lacked intent, but because 99.9% of these threads are empty trolling. So they could be almost sure knowing nothing would happen.

However, if someone does this for years in the hopes to participate in a thread that is not a dud, well that's of course a different state of mind, but it'd be hard to prove.

"the GPL is ineffective because the non-GPL parts become proprietary" doesn't seem like a strong argument against the superiority of the GPL.
I don't really see how my thought (note: more "thought", less "advice") qualifies for this ire, but, hey, maybe you too need to spend less time on social media being angry at people ;-)

Actually I think a considered and gentle re-looking at one's life is an entirely viable thing to do.

What's so nuts about leaving your smartphone at home, or giving it up completely? Try taking a step back in an attempt to take a cold look at how weird and unbalanced this whole smartphone addiction thing has become. A situation in which, what, 50%+ of any random group of people has head down looking at a screen? A situation in which a family goes out for a meal and spends the time with each member socialising with people in the virtual world but not with each other? A situation in which young girls are self-harming because they're spending 6 hours a day comparing themselves with others online? I live by the sea - a beautiful, wonderful part of the world - but the number of people who simply don't engage with the world they're moving through because of this little square of plastic in their pocket is astounding.

There's nothing blame-y about this - yes, the corporations need a slap at what they're doing with our data and our lives - but we've got individual agency, too.
I suspect that some so called dog whistles are a form of conspiracy theory. "It's not viable in plain sight but take my in depth research on the matter to heart".
So if extremists start using a symbol, everyone else has to stop using it and let them have it? Wouldn't it be preferable to ignore the extremists so they don't get the symbol, and the symbol isn't ruined?
> Edit: I want to re-state that I emphatically do not hold any opinions on this topic.

The most astonishing part of your post is that you consider what you're writing "not an opinion".

Because it is nothing but opinion: it's the theory that thousands of non-antisemites would somehow find pleasure in some sort of "sport" of "pretending" to be vile anti-semites (and racists etc). To repeat this lame excuse is to amplify it, and one wouldn't do so without considering it convincing.

I don't see it is as convincing. I'm just as much not an anti-semite as these people pretend to be, and I see absolutely no mechanism how I would enjoy pretending otherwise.

And even if, somehow, there's a psychological explanation of how spewing insincere hatred provides these people pleasure: would that somehow make this behaviour worthy of public support? Even in the best case of not having any effect on the real world, aren't these people are just stewing in their ("pretend") hatred, wasting whatever time and potential they might have on malevolent low-brow attempts of lame humour?

But of course there are effects on the real world. We've just seen two such tragedies and there have been countless smaller ones. If posters there really are fundamentally of sound mind and not intending to be part of actual harm, can they just continue as before? Doesn't the proof that some people actually do commit violent crimes for fame and lulz somehow destroy this excuse of it all just being an act?

I remember that every browser had an AJAX API, where IE had a specific API that was more straightforward. The AJAX capability was a forgone conclusion rather than a technical leapfrog. You could always had access to an HTML request and timers to code AJAX as a final backup.

Signs You’re Living a Good Life
I have learned more about how to live a low(er) climate impact by bloggers on youtube than any of these people have.
Hah, I love that slogan change. "Yes, we do things that are evil, but we also do things that aren't evil sometimes"
I was actually surprised that if all the planets were lined up, the center of mass would be outside the surface of the Sun. I had always assumed that the Sun was so massive that the center of mass was almost fixed and certainly always within its surface. I guess I hadn't factored in the fact that the planets are so far away and the Sun so small that their masses could have such large measurable outcomes on the center of mass of the system.
The flipside to that is why should wealth be the determining factor?

Suppose I'm poor but need to travel to another city to get medical treatment to save my life -- but a global carbon-tax prevents me. In contrast someone who happens to have been born to a rich family in a rich country goes around the World because they're bored.

Sure, that's a purposefully extreme example, but it's necessarily so.

Is that situation morally superior to you? Is it fair, desirable?

If we were organising things on a global scale we might give every person carbon credits. But that would be a massive redistribution of wealth.

What strikes me is we're going to need to normalise around a lower consumption lifestyle or vastly reduce the population.
Did they create a serious risk?
It's not okay to be white.
White is always better.
No that's not the same, because air travel is a different industry than agriculture for instance. And it would be a lot more efficient for mitigating carbon emissions that everybody on earth reduce their meat consumption, rather than banning air travel, that would definitely have little impact overall, and impair a lot our ability to meet, explore, make business. Just take the very scientific that do research on climate change: they do take planes to meet... And that's probably very important they continue so.
The Factory milieu produced at least one would-be murderer, and probably worse. Not that I agree with the original comparison. Culturally, the Warhol crowd were a stop between the somber, black-clad Existentialists of the 50s and the somber, black-clad ‘goths’ of the 80s.
Banning glasses of water is silly, given that beer, meat, bread, and soda all use more water than they give back.
To me it always pulls me towards television or Hollywood garbage. And videos I have already watched, hundreds of them.
The papers cited (eg Morgan G, Ward R, Barton M. The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies. Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol). 2004;16(8):549-60.) have been instrumental in removing Chemotherapy as the defacto treatment of many cancers in Australia. The science is definitive insofar as the inefficacy of the treatment.

The pharmacological industry resistance to these findings is unsurprising.
Changing the point of reference will change your mathematical model, sure, but it will still describe a movement around a barycenter, and the statement remains true whatever your philosophy. Numerous ways to model a phenomenon don't deny its existence.
Well, 'the Sun so small' is a phrase I have never seen before.
Sure, but that doesn't mean we can't pay its actual cost. I would be for that, as long as every last cent was used ofset the CO2 in the most effective way possible.

If used in any other way, forget it.
Shouldn't you just write that "browsers suck as a platform for running JavaScript"?
Grand Opening: Apple Xinyi A13 Brings a Taste of Apple Park to Taipei
> Without breaking laws and causing public nuisance India would still be part of the British Empire and African Americans would still be second class citizens. Climate change is a vastly more serious problem than either of those two.

Sure, but it's also a vastly more complex problem. Those examples consisted of specific regimes which protestors wanted to change in specific ways, and making enforcing the law more trouble than it was worth for those regimes was a simple and logical route to achieving that change.

I don't see the same logical connection between the large-scale technological and institutional change across the entire globe needed to avert climate change and some guy in London with a drone ruining people's holidays.

If you're trying to achieve complex behavioural changes as opposed to rendering a bad law unenforceable, it's probably a good idea not to pursue a strategy consisting solely of irritating the general public.

Because of the US free speech laws. The US is the location where the rest of the world usually hosts there problematic content. It is, or was, also rampant with non nude child pornography sites. While illegal in most of Europe (and other countries I assume), the situation in the US seems to be very different. The whole thing came up in Germany when the government used the numbers of chiid pornography sites they couldnt take down to push for a censored internet. Most of those sites were hosted in the US.

If you host your stuff in Sudan or Tuvalu or Pakistan, you simply get removed on the first report. Why should they continue to host you? The same thing happened a while back with a Ukrainian or Russian ISP provider who didnt react to reports, the whole ISP was simply dismantled. Only because the cooperation between the countries governments isnt optimal doesnt mean the local countries will turn a blind eye to abuses from their servers.

It was quite aggravating when my shared Dropbox folder on a dual-boot Windows/Linux System lost support. It was the main reason I switched from GDrive to Dropbox (besides trying to gradually de-Google). Now I have 2 Dropbox folders on one machine.
Sure, but the less painful way of dealing with this problem is to charge them with terrorism and lock them away on life sentences. Sure others may try, but after a couple rounds of this, volunteers will stop. You can get young men to take great risks for great rewards, but not to rot in a prison cell somewhere with no hope of anything.
You seem to be saying that because developers spend 90% of their time in an editor or IDE and 10% of their time on the command line, that they don't need the command line? I think that's what you are saying with this "dropping down into a UNIX like CLI is the exception, not the norm for a large community"? Because I'm not aware of any "large community" of developers that don't use the command line at all? So the exception is when they actually have to use it? But using something a small percentage of the time of course doesn't mean it isn't important (humans spend a small percentage of time eating and if we don't we die).

Regarding Xcode being implemented by managing processes, my point is that IDE's and text editors have moved to a model of using external processes to implement features. E.g., language server protocol, linters. That iOS bans this type of application is why iOS for programming is a wasteland. The tragedy of that fact is my whole point in this thread.
I'm just over a year into it. I'm going to write this up in more detail at some point but broadly my strategy has been:

1) Keep a smartphone without a SIM in it at home on wifi for banking / 2FA / etc

2) Move everything social off it. I was never a FB user, but I'm into Twitter and news - so those two got canned, as did Instagram

3) Take work email off it. If you can't, turn off all notifications. If people want you, they'll ring you.

4) Anything you want to do, do it on your desktop - you have way more control here. I use https://heyfocus.com on "hardcore" mode, which blocks Tweetdeck, email, news, HN, whatever so I can actually get work done

5) Have a dumbphone for out-and-about use. It's painful, awful texting, no camera - but it is remarkably liberating to have moments of boredom, moments when you'd normally take a photo but can now just admire the view, moments when you have to actually "ring" someone (I know, this is apparently a thing..)

6) Never let your smartphone into your bedroom, ever

7) Put any gadgets on charge upstairs after 6pm, and leave them there on silent until the morning

It works for me. It hurts, and sometimes I slip (if I have to travel with work, I normally re-sim-ify my smartphone for maps or whatever), but in general I feel more a part of the world I'm supposed to be spending my life in, rather than down a rabbithole of virtual nothingness.

The first and easiest way to try this is simply to leave your phone at home when you go out for a period of time. Redirect calls to your partner if you need - but just try it. There's a Zen saying: "if you don't have 10 minutes to meditate each day, you should meditate for 20 minutes". If it hurts, try it for a longer period of time!
Neat concepts here. Suprised how well Breakout and Donkey Kong worked in this... unusual format.

Also makes me wonder whether you could have a secret message hidden in the address bars of say, five different sites when their windows are stacked a certain way. Could make for a neat treasure hunt gimmick.

On the less positive side, it's probably best to keep this type of thing to fun/game orientated sites and personal projects, since stuff like animated address bars on business sites could get incredibly annoying if overused.

Still, nice work.

You are not getting my point. The point was, that the ability of the GPL to enforce source sharing is limited. Where source sharing and redistribution are not desired, GPL licensed software just isn't used. Or used in a way that it does not affect the propriatary parts.
Isn't the point that it's a really important infrastructure asset, but it's privately owned and so it's not _our_ infrastructure, it doesn't belong to the nation.

>SWAT-ing has an imminent intent to invoke deleterious action

To be fair, if the incidence of escalation to use of lethal force weren't so prevalent as to be an almost guarantee in the states, the results of SWAT'ing wouldn't even be a problem but more of a nuissance, in the first place, yeah?

In other words, if the resultant actions of the police forces - whether believing they were acting in the interests of public safety or not - weren't so haphazardly deleterious to the public at-large (see the baby with burns because of tear gas thrown in it's crib, as an example), this wouldn't have been a viably dangerous exploitation surface to begin with.

Whilst I can understand that such an action (SWAT'ing) is bad and I am not trying to argue against, dissuade, nor assuage the realities of it, I'm merely trying to point out that the realities of the dangers of it's byproduct solely exist due to societial declination; particularly, in the devaluation of human life, as a whole - which has given carte blance, as it were, to the use of lethal force.

In other words, if lethal force weren't such a foreseeable outcome of SWAT'ing, would it even be something considered deleterious or would it be moreso considered merely a waste of time and resources (which, in and of itself, could have secondary or tertiary effects that are possibly damaging [e.g.: we couldn't respond to 'x' critical situation because we were dealing with 'y' critical situation])?
