That's a very nice demo of GitHub.

Would you mind talking a bit about how it's made to look exactly like GitHub?
Last Week Tonight is now far less sensational than the mainstream news. When everything is clickbait crap, infotainment becomes the trusted news source.

As someone who owns a few drones, I'm quite afraid of them. The racing ones are much more dangerous, but the pilots also tend to be much more responsible. The rotors can definitely cut flesh, which is why everyone has the "disarm" switch (which completely kills rotor power instantly) in the most easily accessible place on their controller. These, I'm not worried about, because every person I've seen flying one has always done it far away from people, and very very carefully.

The automatic drones are the ones I'm afraid of most, due to the posts I've seen on groups I'm a member of. They take no skill to fly, so people fly them without understanding. I've seen people disable the sensors and flying them a few centimeters from people's faces, where a slight gust of wind will mean permanent disfigurement. I've seen people fly them close to trees, next to wires over people, and a thousand other dangerous situations.

Whenever I see that a law forbids me from flying and taking photos, I initially curse the lawmakers and then realize that the same law protects me from the thousands of irresponsible drone owners, and I feel a bit better.
I am curious to why the author chose Last Week Tonight specifically, rather than just focus on the genre of comedy/news or addressing the root issue (critical thinking).

Most of the article covers the format of late night shows, which is well known to most, I think. It is only in the last paragraph that we reach the “dangerous” part.

The crux of the argument is:

> Therein lies the main ‘danger’ in all of this: when viewers aren’t thinking critically and/or are using the show as a news source

Which, is true of literally every show, newspaper, media outlet, etc. Critical thinking has been a key issue in communication from the dawn of time, and will be an issue forever forward. I don't think it's fair to lay blame at the feet of a single show.
Even worse, could you maybe leave your room and go get a coffee? It literally would've taken you the same amount of time if you did just that depending on how close the coffee place is, and I would guess it isn't far.
"Miller argued that television in the United States teaches a different kind of conformity than that portrayed in the novel. In the novel, the telescreen is used to produce conformity to the Party. In Miller’s argument, television produces conformity to a system of rapacious consumption – through advertising as well as a focus on the rich and famous.
...
Many viewers conform by measuring themselves against what they see on television, such as dress, relationships and conduct. In Miller’s words, television has “set the standard of habitual self-scrutiny.”"

Well, and not only that. As near as I can tell, we are rapidly diverging from "classical" Christian Western values and substituting them with new values that are even less tolerant.

I can't tell the last time I've seen a movie or series with a regular family, male and female without issues like adultery, problems with alcohol, gambling, perversions, single-parent households, divorces, etc.; with normal kids, that aren't using drugs, or having sex at age of 14, and so on, and so on.

Can that be a coincidence, sometimes I wonder..

It sure feels like we are gambling with the Western civilization. We are quick to forget that everything in this world is more or less a result of it, doesn't matter how politically correct we must be in the "new world order".

Even God cannot defy facts.

Anyway, the article is not worth reading - we are, after all, doing this ourselves out of our own volition. So, it's a choice. It's still a choice.
I hope these people stay strong when the heavy handed crackdown occurs. This time there are millions of cameras watching.
I’m not surprised. Many totalitarian regimes set up systems where neighbors can report on “counterrevolutionary” activities in which an abusive system “gets abused” and people use it for personal revenge among other things.
But the CIA is liars--and far worse than that. They have been caught in all manner of dastardly deeds including murder, extortion, drug smuggling, all of it. All the worst things you can imagine, someone in the CIA has utilized as a tool to get some kind of nebulous action completed.
Why is everybody so afraid of violence? Do you think politely discussing on HN the pros/cons of King of Earth owning 79 oil rigs is going to get him to see the error of his ways? That he should stop funding F-35s to bomb his neighbors while he bangs 42 Swedish models per day? "Please sir, that's bad of you."
I find the author’s view puzzling. For open source projects that have the goal to become profitable and have full-time staff working on them, there are plenty that make this happen. For example, Ghost (the blog engine) via providing sourcing. RedHat similarly provided services and consulting on top of their open source contributions. Databricks, founded by the creators of Spark, is a unicorn.

The author is looking at the wrong type of metric. Expecting that every open source project on Github will get donations to pay each contributor a full-time salary is nonsense.

Also, on top of the value add services profitability route, the article does not take into account how many companies have full time employees contribute to open source as part of their working hours - a very tangible open source investment. While the author asks for companies to donate 0.5% or more of their profits to open source projects, I work at an unprofitable unicorn (Uber) which is a heavy contributor to open source itself and my team contributes to open source as part of our work: both to other projects, as well as open sourcing tools and improvements we built.

The same can be said for some of the most popular open source projects. Angular? Originally by Google engineers, on Google company time. Tensorflow? Also Google. React? Built by Facebook. Atom? By Github. And the list continues with many-many projects.

The only optimal solution for the little guy is complete privacy, or complete transparency, where everyone has equal access to all information. Complete privacy is evidently not achievable, therefore the only option left is complete transparency.

Either way, the current reality of some lucky individuals having all the access to everyone’s information, whether it’s Chinese government or companies or US government or companies is the worst situation to be in if you have little power, i.e. 99.9999999% of people who aren’t billionaires/nation state level diplomats.
Except after you've used the older machine for long enough, it would have been less wasteful to crush it in the beginning and replace it earlier, skipping all the consumption later on.
It's unfortunate that they're outlawing it based on the weight of the drone being more than 200 grams.

A soccer ball is around 450 grams, and even when it falls at terminal velocity on your head it's not going to kill you.

Of course that's not true of most 450 gram drones now, since they have external spinning blades and sharp or stabby surfaces.

But if they instead defined some sort of crash test one might imagine even a 2 kg drone being relatively harmless if it e.g. was cushioned by styrofoam and had internal propellers. A law that tested for the potential harm would create a market for creating safer drones.
When you encourage others to steal classified information and then publish it without regard to the harm it may cause others, you are not a journalist, you are a criminal. When you go on to publish stolen information about one Presidential candidate, in a foreign election no less, and not the other you are no longer a journalist - not that he ever was, you are a tool.

Im not making an argument about whether or not the current state of journalism is biased - of course it is. Im simply saying Assange is no journalist.
The point is, "because android does it" is terrible reasoning for naming the thing.

It's exactly the point the author here was trying to make. Google does not control the web or define HTML standards in a vacuum, nor is it the focal point of the internet.

I thought the idea is that there is one bridge running per room. For example a discord room would be bridged to a matrix room by one running bridge. In discord, unless the API allows impersonating multiple users so that they appear as normal users in discord, the bridge couldn't mirror messages from all users in the matrix room and make them look like discord users. Unless I am misunderstanding how it works completely?
Some developers seem to think that "modern" web development is the same as using new features. (meanwhile they use old design paradigms and architecture)

> after all people didn't starve before Russia had modern farming equipment.

Yes, they did. You don't know your history or are deliberately ignoring parts of it.

Russia and the Russian Empire was always struggling to produce enough food due to the nature of its landscape. Barely any of it is suitable for farming.

This is the main reason Russia always tries to expand westward (that and its lack of warm-water ports for trade). It's simple self-preservation. I'm not excusing some or all of the horrible shit they've done to pursue this goal either, but it is understandable. The US did exactly the same when it swarmed over North America wiping out or subjugating every Native tribe it encountered.

The arable land in Russia is incredibly slim and was mostly situated on its western countries bordering Europe. Most of Russia and many of its satellite states during the USSR is and were unsuitable for farming.

On the subject of US/NATO trade embargoes, the US did a similar thing to Cuba and some South American states for decades for no good reason other than 'communism bad!'.

Trade embargoes used as a tool to fight an ideological war by weakening the target country's economy, thereby discrediting its economic model by artificially limiting supplies of grain and efficient farming equipment.

All they ended up doing was hurting the regular people who probably couldn't have cared less what system they were under. They were too busy trying to live their lives.

There was nothing in the Soviet system that prevented it from trading with the west from an ideological standpoint either. The refusal to trade came from the west; and the only reason trade with the west was hindered was because the US wanted to fight an ideological war by undermining its enemies economies.

The reality is, the so-called free-market champion that is the United States engages in market distortion to eliminate rivals all the time. The best example recently was the Iraq War. That was a response to Saddam Hussein's plan to stop trading oil in dollars and switch to Euros instead.

I feel like you are deliberately ignoring information that doesn't satisfy your world view.

I cannot help you with that.

Why would that matter? Most likely tapering off the drug dosage is a necessary part of the treatment process.
The revolution needed is for people to quit letting the politicians and press to set their world view. One must remember that political parties extensively use market research to craft their message and through sycophants in the press will float trial balloons of upcoming campaign statements to see what will work.

Using fear, uncertainty, doubt, and jealously, the convince you to not only put them in office but to stand up for you by "taking care" of those they have taught you to dislike to the point you are now voting people in to punish others.

How we fix that I don't know. However remember one thing. A religious leader demanding action on a moral backing is many many times less dangerous than a politician using a moral stance because theirs changes on a whim

I disagree with the GP's equating the two, but there are events like outright murders of innocent people by police officers that never get protested in the US, except maybe by people in the black communities.

Those strike me like something that should be protested but isn't. In comparison, when years ago a police officer shot and killed a 16 year old for no reason in my country, there were outright riots and the officer is serving a life sentence.

Then again, I guess there are many things we don't protest.

> However, I've never seen an enterprise storage system to do a mistake like that.

Unless you're using a checksumming file system (a la ZFS), how would you know? And even if you were using ZFS, it would probably just do a re-read from another part of the mirror/RAID-Z and fix it behind the scenes.

That's the issue with people saying "things are fine": how do they actually know since we're not verifying things?

Up until fairly recently, we haven't really been looking too closely, simply trusting the lower levels of the stack:

This is rather strange. Which country are you in, may I ask? Also, doesn't this hamper with many other websites you might visit that depend on Firebase?
Because “Asia” includes a lot of poorer countries. People go where the money is.

And that still doesn’t negate my other point, if you exclude iOS, you miss the most affluent users. Who do you think is the most profitable market segment? People buying $50 Android phones or people buying $700 iPhones?

Apple doesn’t have to “stop” Google. If Apple doesn’t support it, either web developers wont use it because no one is going to give up their most affluent customers or they are going to be forced to write an app.

Again, if I’m writing a website for the US, why do I care about the worldwide market share?
I moderate a small writing subresdit and discord. I can't speak to how useful it is for other participants but for me it's been tremendously helpful in keeping my writing front of mind, not to mention the writing sprints that take place there represent a significant amount of my output. Interacting with other writers has been the best way to improve my own writing as well as develop new ideas and inspiration.
All those links seem on first look to say ‘they need to follow all laws like anyone else would’. Was there something specific?

I think people think there’s some kind of special legal status of being a journalist, like a police officer or something. I’m not sure that’s the case.
I've worked for 2(out of many) employers that allowed me to spend significant time committing our improvements and modifications upstream to open source projects we used in-house. This was very enjoyable, and I wish more employers behaved that way.

One of the enjoyable aspects of this practice, was during the selection process for "what software do we want to use?". I didn't have to select only open source projects which were "almost a perfect fit, with XYZ problems we can live with". Instead, I got to select software with (to me) better criteria:

* what are the upstream devs like to work with?

* what is the future of this project?

* is this project something we would be proud of our association with?

* working on this project, will myself or my team be exposed to new skills and technology?
I find that most of the time, the ad-riddled article wasn't worth reading. The number and intrusiveness of advertising grows in proportion to the desperation of the author to make the most of what little time you're going to spend.

The Internet is exhausting because the Internet is exhausted. Good content is hard, and there's less of it than you'd hope. The web gains perhaps a few minutes worth of meaningful content per day, if that. And unless you particularly enjoy being the one trying to ferret it out of the torrent, it's better to let some other aggregator do it for you. Read that, then turn it off and go do something else.
Not to belittle your other points, but I'd say separating migrant parents from their kids is pretty damn low.

But that's the marginal class-based left; the liberal left, meaning the ones with any sort of power (e.g. Democratic Party, the Guardian, WaPo, NYT, etc...) generally have a history of condemning him while sometimes at the same moment profiting from publishing his leaks.
IMHO Wrong:

1. Mobile App. The site has to work by itself. Else go PWA

2. DNT. Respect Users decisions. Allow cookieless and JSless.

3. See 2.

4. See 2. + I would't disable adblock in the net, because it the main entry for malware.

5. Block Foreign. Expand as you understand the laws.

6. Max Layout. Called Mobile First, and seams to be national behavior. International pages sometimes look foreign to me. Use your screenspace wisely, yes.

7. Use Notifications. OK, but, see 8 and 9.

8. Prompt User. Don't annoy users. If they are on the net, they know how it regulary works, don't get of the standard behavior patterns.

9. Allow Opt-out. Opt-In is the way to go, else maybe violates GDPR and other laws.

10. Use Javascript. Not all websites require Javascript, most yes, but not all. Don't rely on it, especially impaired users will hat you for 'visually correct' but not screenreader enabled. Use standards.

PS: Don't be an apple hipster. Was biased from the beginning, got confirmed. But, read it.
Assange broke US law, encouraging the theft of classified intel belonging to the US and then publishing it. It doesnt matter where Assange was geographically when he did so.

Example if I were to hack a foreign gov't or company's computers while residing in the US and being on US soil at the time, I would still be breaking that country's laws and could be arrested and extradited to that country.

This is an agreement many countries have with one another. Assange broke US law and therefore could be tried in a US court.
Uncovering modern paint forgeries by radiocarbon dating
One of the easiest ways to be predictable is to tell children what is happening and what is about to happen soon—especially if it will cut short a game or a play session.

I have experienced so many tantrums of other people's children when they surprise their children with home time when the child is completely engrossed in playing. Children are constantly making their own plans and may have been expecting their turn with a toy or be only half-way through building something when they are told to pack up and leave. If it was me I'd be furious too.

I like to give a few warnings so that they can get a feel for how long they have left and I tell them to start thinking about packing up, to get to a checkpoint as soon as they can so they can save their game and if they are waiting their turn with something, now would be a good time to have a final swap over.

I can't recall a time when my kids had a tantrum at leaving time.
