So go look, it would not take you much (site down for now though, for obvious reasons). I did it back with the Christchurch terrorist attack and won't do it again it's so vile and that's a euphemism.
To be fair, her use of it was in the context of working for the first time with senior FAANG engineers.
Once a service becomes a commodity it should be treated as public service an be subjected to free speech laws. There are even interesting cases in the US promoting this ruling:

Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501 (1946), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court, in which it ruled that a state trespassing statute could not be used to prevent the distribution of religious materials on a town's sidewalk, even though the sidewalk was part of a privately owned company town. The Court based its ruling on the provisions of the First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama

"Ownership does not always mean absolute dominion. The more an owner, for his advantage, opens up his property for use by the public in general, the more do his rights become circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who use it."

"sooner than later they will change their definition of morality and we all gonna pay with our freedom"

I simply love Flutter for Android and iOS development and have been using it since alpha. I haven't tried the web application part; I'm pretty sure I never will. Here's my opinion. I've created several apps with Flutter and every time I enjoy it. The UI is easy to make beautiful and the resulting code easy to read. It feels like all what the current Android SDK is missing. The current Android SDK is old and quite frankly painfull to work with. You just can't create beautiful apps with ease; it's always a hassle. It's also messy and not easy to read the resulting code. The way the whole way the framework is structured entails ugly code in my opinion. This all becomes evident when you use different apps on Google Play. You get the sense that every app reinvented their UI; there is no real UI continuity. Google became a freeloader after JetBrains created Kotlin and marketed it will. The thing is Kotlin made just a little better; in terms of boilerplate stuff; the framework I still hate compared to Flutter. What I really like about flutter is the framework and “it’s all a widget” idea. You can basically do crazy things in UI with ease and on the other hand just use the standard UI components with a great result.

As an example I've created an alternative to Nissan's Connect EV app. It's basically a way to control and monitor your electric vehicle from Nissan. The official app is I’m very disappointed by; it’s slow and full of wrong decisions.

My alternative is called "My Leaf" and its available on Google Play and the App Store;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.kjeldsen.ca... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-leaf-for-nissan-ev/id143670... It's completely open source.

That's why the thing about "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" is mistaken and wrong in these modern times and yet many people still quote it and take it to heart and as a result don't prioritise speed when building software.

"premature optimisation is the root of all evil" is a saying that came from 1974 when computers were slower, languages were less effective and development processes immature. Today you should make your software fast.

It's concerning that Cloudflare is monetizing on these disasters by publishing this article and promoting it on HN; in a way, they're using these crimes as an opportunity to improve their brand image.
Cloudflare should have dealt with this privately; this matter is between Cloudflare and 8chan - They were always able to choose who they want and don't want to do business with. They were very happy to take the money when it was convenient.
If you want to do the right thing according to your values, you should do it quietly; if you brag about your action publicly and you stand to gain something out of it then it completely undermines the intent of the action.

I'd love to see companies actually do the right thing and not talk about it; just like how they don't talk about it when they do the wrong thing. That would be a step forward.
I don't like 8chan as a website, but I'm still not a fan of this move. Feels like no one online wants to just provide a 'dumb pipe', and always want to act like a pseudo publisher trying to dictate what's allowed and what isn't.

Imagine if real life utilities did this. If because someone used your property for offensive purposes, the water company cut off the water supply, or the electricity company refused to provide electricity, or your phone provider cut off service or what not. That would be ridiculous, yet it's exactly the situation we're in with internet services. No one wants to just be a utility.

I believe online service providers in at least some markets should be regulated like utilities. Maybe Cloudflare, definitely domain name registrars, perhaps cloud services and CDNs in general. Because at the moment, it seems any controversy at all means losing access to anything internet related.

The problem is not the tracking. It is your boss coming over after 3 days asking why this 1 day task is suddenly taking 3 times as long, and how much longer do you think it will take?

Never mind that the task spec changed 5 times in those 3 days.
Continuous glucose sensors are relatively new.

It's surprisingly tricky to measure chemical concentrations continuously without replacing the "sensor". Blood and other liquids attack and clog everything.

Without continuous glucose monitoring, you can't do artificial pancreasing.
I’ve seen this used to good effect with coworkers that habitually ask for help before trying to solve the problem themselves. Instead of ignoring them or complaining that they’re wasting your time, wait to respond for a few minutes so that you’re no longer faster than looking the information up for themselves.

Obviously this only works over some kind of messaging service; face-to-face conversations have significantly different expectations around long pauses.
Oh so therefore, 8chan was deplatformed not in connection with this manifesto then, but due to their past record of not banning bad speech prior to this crime?

Since there are no army related sites which encourage people to kill other people I'm not in favor of that and you are free to convince me otherwise by providing a link. But, if they were doing this I would be in favor of shutting them down, yes.
By my definition of “trashy” - it’s only “cool” to share the fact that you had sex with someone when you’re 15.

Same is here: I can imagine many situations where discussing the effects of drugs and your experiences of them to be interesting. But “I spend a weekend dancing with molly” sounds more like a 15-year-old just got access to sex for the first time.
Cloudflare is censoring comments like hell.

They apparently do, though.
Not everything on the chans is a joke which is why they like to pretend that it is. It's basic obfuscation. Very often, a long running joke will pick up genuine ardent supporters and the original joke becomes lost or forgotten. It's a peculiar process to watch.

The chans relationship with social media like Twitter is like Agent Smith is to Neo, a balancing of the equation. Twitter for instance has become so emotionally charged and blood hungry that any opposition to the rhetoric has become equally as charged. It's very dangerous when full-time contrarians become martyrs.

Like yourself, I just try and keep my distance from it all and observe from a distance.
Well your wrong in that some of us do in fact think Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube amongst others should be held accountable for not only allowing this stuff, but also promoting it (whether intentional or not). CloudFlare made the decision to drop 8chan thus this discussion is about that. That should be no surprise.
There's plenty of radioactive lenses out there. Many Takumars and Super Takumars for instance.

Hiding behind 'tax evasion' so that you can get away with paying people in 'nice lunches' (lol) is ridiculous.

No one is hiding behind anything. The fact is that to pay someone properly for a half day test is not straightforward here in the UK (assuming you want to do it legally; obviously you could just give them cash). I've actually spent time looking in to it.
> Would you do time tracking for someone writing a script for a movie? Or for a painter

If change the flattering comparisons then why not? Instead of someone writing a script for a movie, imagine it is someone writing sales copy. Instead of a "painter" presumably working on some masterpiece, imagine instead it is someone in one of those Chinese factories churning out still life 3265.

Most programming tasks are well understood - most programmers in big corporations are working on CRUD apps. The correct comparison is not to some highly creative process but to some semi-creative process. Sure the details might be different but in the main it can be well understood how long it takes to add crud screen 26.

I guess pg himself popularised the flattering "programmers are just like painters" nonsense: https://idlewords.com/2005/04/dabblers_and_blowhards.htm
Why can't law enforcement take a more active role in policing this site rather than leaving it to corporations? It's a known catalyst of terrorism at this point, so they know exactly where to look and surely have the resources to investigate suspicious posters.

Disappointingly, the last time an incident like this happened, an FBI agent accidentally revealed himself to be actively fuelling the fire by participating in a smear campaign against Russia (https://ceinquiry.wordpress.com/2019/06/17/fbi-8chan/). Looks like law enforcement are watching, but are just making problems worse? Baffling.
Ah ah. I wish we could do that.

We are not talking propaganda here, these are individual actors. Some just like to provoke a reaction, some have these believes and I have seen people turning their back on these platforms innumerable times.

Regardless of the reason people visit these places, the moment they get external pressure, their believes get vindicated. We see a large surge in issues with these communities since we got on our little censorship trip. It is just plainly the wrong move to make.

There have been Nazis on the internet since shortly after its inception. But random people going out and shooting crowds in this frequency is a new phenomenon.

Historically censorship has always been applied for the right reasons of course.
This. I long for the day when regulators pick one high profile target that uses “by entering you agree to [us giving your data to third parties for ad purposes only]” and simply hit them with an enormous fine.

What is a way to get money from a card into a bank account?

Or conversely, is there a way to have a virtual "bank account" that is accepted by credit cards as a source of payment (e.g. via Plaid or whatever) but is actually backed by a credit card?

I am asking because being able to use credit cards to pay off credit cards, without taking cash advances, can provide a lot more options for a person or company.

Obviously you can have two companies controlled by the same entity that each purchase a product from one another, paying only the merchant fee. But does that violate the credit card issuer's policy, or do they really care?

Technically here the `;` is for the `let`, which is a statement, not for the match expression within it. The braces are part of the match, not of the let. So the let doesn't end with a block, and thus requires a semicolon.

Sorry, but your linked source is off-topic, ancient (2013!), and compares the wrong things (native mobile apps vs. old-generation-hybrid-web-mobile apps).

The relevant comparison here would be between:

- (1) truly native uni-platform mobile apps (native Android and native iOS apps)

- (2) cross-platform mobile apps using native widgets (not sure if there's any alternative to React Native here)

- (3) cross-platform mobile apps that draw their own ui, but NOT using web technologies: Flutter is the only obvious example (there are older things like Kivy which uses Python and OpenGL but I think it was mostly used for games and kids app, not that popular)

Web-techs-based hybrid-mobile apps are a different thing (Cordova, Ionic etc.) and, yes, there everyone agreed they feel inferior to users, just as mobile optimized websites feel inferior.

Unfortunately this is the problem here, it's incredibly easy to compare apples to oranges here, I don't blame, just saying that all sources are misleading, probably it's better to play with few things and see the "gut feeling"... it's pretty obvious that underlying tech and whether the widgets are drawn natively or not is NEVER a differentiator between successful and unsuccessful apps, it's always all the other things :)

Yes - diatribe exception. In that case, unfortunately, it is also not enough to transform it into "In my opinion, AlphaGeekZulu is an asshole". Granted, it is so much more complicated than free hate speech ;-)

It's seductive argument, but how does that differ from any other colonized country? Australia certainly has white supremacist elements (and undercurrents of racism in the dominant culture), but nothing (I think) of the scale of the US. Do you suggest that it is impossible for a country to change?
I gather they are saying web apps you use on your mobile verses apps you download to your phone. That's not really native versus non-native.

No I think speed is a primary feature, not a secondary one. As the article says, users relate completely differently to a responsive application.
> If because someone used your property for offensive purposes, the water company cut off the water supply, or the electricity company refused to provide electricity, or your phone provider cut off service or what not.

I think it's key that in this case cloudflare are actively between you and 8chan. The phone provider is the most reasonable comparison, were you able to switch provider. I wouldn't be hugely shocked if one phone company out of several options (which when you call the line occasionally puts their branding in your face) dropped you if you were running a line that read out terrorist manifestos. I'd be surprised if something similar hasn't happened.

> Because at the moment, it seems any controversy at all means losing access to anything internet related.

This is, what, the second time cloudflare have done this? That's a far cry from any controversy.
I guess that comes down to what is a person and what is a business. Do businesses have rights? I would say no they do not. A person exists until death. Their rights are fundamental. A business exists or does not exist at the whims of the owner(s), government, or law. It's rights are fungible. It is allowed to exist at all because the government says it can. And one of the requirements can be it is not allowed to discriminate based on sexuality, or it can only do business with certain individuals and businesses.
The web view is the email client they provide. The statistic shows how people access their email account, not where it's hosted.
Even if climate change open up more land for agriculture near the Arctic circle, I don't think that fertile soil will magically move there.

Are we going to try to move billions tons of soil ? That does not seem really feasible. So all in all we are going to see the total surface of arable land diminishes in the coming decades.
> because someone used your property for offensive purposes, the water company cut off the water supply

This actually happens in Europe, typically when authorities decide squatters should not be tolerated.

TBH, services like Cloudflare should be free to operate as they please. A publisher is simply not entitled to a CDN. If there is a demand for specific niches, a supply will eventually emerge, like it has for porn.
Think about it for a second. Deepfake generation and detection are just like a two-person game. They have been solved - Go, Chess, and so on. MCTS is a pretty good approach, but there can be others. That stuff iterates until a point where the detector cannot be sure anymore that something is or isn't a deepfake.

By that point, just like with Chess, humans are way behind. They can't tell for sure anything.

So no matter WHAT we do, we are going to be in a world where we can't trust video or audio evidence of anything. And when we can achieve deepfakes in realtime, you won't be able to trust that the person you're conversing with is really your friend.

At that point, people will voluntarily create cryptographic timestamps with trusted equipment, or several trusted combinations (e.g. a phone + a beacon + wifi hotspot etc.) and then voluntarily share that (zero-knowledge proof) with whoever needs to know.

But if bots ever reach conversational level, and we have realtime deepfakes, it's game over essentially for trusting any interaction online with anyone.
First of all, I think this is a great idea and I love the concept! I will be making my way to Japan relatively soon so I'll definitely keep this in mind.

Now a couple things that I noticed. I put in 6 hours, and on the first screen it correctly said from 11.00 to 17.00 then actual trip screen it starts at 11.00 but then the times go a bit weird. The first activity seems to be for 18.32, and then a few other activities and finish at 21.20. Also, all the walking parts are "1 minute" which seems a bit of a lie.

If I modify the plan, by either changing or removing of the activities, that is not reflected once I share it. it goes back to the original.

I hope this helps!
This article is very detailed. Took very long to go through but very helpful. Thanks for sharing it.
I don't know. I assume this can be the straw that broke the camel's back.
Robotics still seems a long way off being able to automate many physical jobs - would you trust a robot to look after your aging parents without hurting them?

Likewise jobs like computer programming seem pretty 'robot-proof'.

It seems only repetitive, predictable work can be automated and we shouldn't waste human labour on those tasks in any case.

Personally, I think the threat of automation has been greatly exaggerated in the media, it is true that self-driving cars would have a huge economic effect but progress appears to be slowing down in that area.

When I do dev stuff with a slight sense of urgency, the probability of my mind wandering somewhere else goes down drastically.

At this mode, my mind uses all available time slots to make the best of them. For example, by the time my program compiles, my brain visualizes possible breakage scenarios and possible solutions, in case the compilation fails.

I could be on confirmation bias here, but this seems to be a neat trick to get more things done.
Yep, React Native has horrible dev experience... this is what drove me to Flutter. Dart may be ugly but after you get used to it it's mostly "Typescript done right" imo ;)
I'm always prepared for but ultimately annoyed by HN's take on stuff like this.

I legitimately get angrier reading this shitty site more than just about anything else.

I wish whatever dopamine hit I got from reading this place would go away.
In the two cases where CloudFlare has done this to date they seem to draw the line at murder. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

Do you think any other provider you may do business with has a more liberal policy than CloudFlare? Have you actually read the terms of service for any of them?

If this is the thing that changes how you view CloudFlare then you are already on shaky ground.
