>If you use the same JS frontend as everyone else it isn't very individual and form constrains content.

You seem to be confusing the implementation of a site with its content, and assuming that homogeneity of layout corresponds to homogeneity of content. It's an understandable bias to find in a community of programmers and web developers, but it isn't true.

The pages of a book are uniformly sized, generally speaking uniformly colored with one of a very narrow set of fonts and typefaces, spaced and typeset according to an industry standard - and yet this places no constraint at all on the nature of the content that can be displayed within those pages. In the same way, a website rendering content on the frontend rather than the backend is an implementation detail which has nothing to do with what content is rendered.

And even in the 90s, many sites looked similar. Rather than having standard templates focused around typography, people just copied what other sites were doing, using the same table-based layouts with black backgrounds and GIFS, and none of that necessarily made the content any better than what exists today.
> The only reason that won’t work is because apps are in a zero-sum race to the bottom to hog user attention.

I don't think this is entirely true. If micro payments worked, or if you have some kind of subscription model, you don't want people to use your app as much as possible (the more they use it the higher your costs), you just want them to find it so useful that they keep updating/subscribing to it.

> The only role of paper in this idea is to impose constraints

While I do love constraints, I don't think that's the whole point. Paper is superior to screens in a number of ways. For a given piece of information, it's much more convenient and readable, it's just not interactive.

Google search receives Update: Better search results, thanks to BERT?
There's an attitude thing there too though (while I agree with you that you can often pick things up just by being around them), between reacting to lack of knowledge by looking for someone to tell you or teach you, and just asking someone else to do it if you're not told, vs. actively seeking out the knowledge yourself.

Personally I think part of why I've learned a lot of what I know is because as an introvert I often notice that I'm willing to put in a lot of effort into figuring things out myself to avoid asking someone.

As a child I was blind to my motivations, and sometimes it made me miserable because I'd stress out over how to do something that I could have trivially asked about and where figuring out the solution was a lot of effort, but learning the skill of figuring out "anything" on my own has been incredibly valuable.

Today I'm aware of this tendency, and will often force myself to pick the social interaction based on a conscious trade-off of the relative pain of asking vs. doing, but I will still often choose to find a way to learn how to do something on my own rather than ask even when asking would be "less painful", both because it often teaches me more and because maintaining the skill of learning on my own is something I value in itself.
Can you talk more about how those laws work in Denmark?

I’m extremely interested in the idea that a society has incentivized both a robust free press and accountability to speak the truth...

If that is the case it seems like those lessons would be very useful to democracies the world over.
It has, but due to the orthodoxy of thinking in terms of the liberal conception of human rights in the US Constitution, other voices aren't listened to much - their views are different to the orthodoxy such that they are considered heretical and against liberty.

It's a circular argument in the sense that because liberty and freedom are defined for the mainstream framework, any outside framework, in order to be accepted by adherents of the mainstream framework, must provide a vision compatible with the existing framework.

We're stuck in a hole in terms of what can be done outside academia in the real world.
According to coverage by The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/10/30/police-blew...

“His expenses to rebuild the house and replace all its contents cost him nearly $400,000, he said. While insurance did cover structural damage initially, his son did not have renter’s insurance and so insurance did not cover replacement of the home’s contents, and he says he is still in debt today from loans he took out.“

Sounds like his family was under-insured and he took out huge loans to rebuild without any assurances that he would be compensated by the city.
> Are you suggesting that we should force people to watch things they don't agree with? That isn't exactly what you said, but seems to suggest it.

It's more complicated than that.

The right not to listen to things you don't like applies equally to someone who doesn't listen to rap music because too much of it demeans women; and someone who doesn't listen to rap music because too much of it is by black people.

But if those two people announce those tastes in public, they should expect different responses for obvious reasons!

The idea that one side tells lies, and the other only truth is part of the problem here.

"Russian collusion" appears to fit this description, yet I still read about it every day.

The entire political game is composed of stretching the facts to control the narrative. If you see it as one-sided, you're not paying attention.
How does that change anything? The amount of ease of use you get from the internet is not zero-sum; everyone benefits from it.

Calling the internet "cable television as a service" is ignoring the incredible reach and user-friendliness of the modern internet, and all the advantages that come from that. Nostalgia is okay, but that doesn't change the fact that the current internet brings a lot more information to a lot more people, albeit with differing quality. It has absolutely changed humanity for the better, and is orders of magnitude more transformative than what you seem to be calling old internet.

"This time it's different" was exactly the answer the liberals gave when propounding their system. It is also the answer mathematicians gave every time they tried to prove Fermat's Last Theorem. Contrary to popular belief, "this time it's different" is a very good way to go about progress, so long as there is good theoretical reason to believe there could be a difference in application.

This is complicated, but let's say that the EU's arguments are all basically arguments for empires and they are happy to say so. Look at the recent speech by Verhofstadt where he praised empires and said Europe must become one. But that's nonsense. Literally all the bloodshed and horrors Europe went through in the 20th century were caused by attempts to unite it into a single empire. The bizarre lesson some people see in this is to keep trying.

Also, don't for one second think the EU is against nationalism or patriotism. They desperately chase both. Why do you think the EU has a national anthem? Why do it's supporters say things like, "we Europeans". The entire EU project is a project to craft a new form of loyalty to the state and a self-sense of tribal belonging. Those who don't think this new nation, with its so called "European values", is better than their current nations ... well, they're treated with contempt.

Finally, there are no problems to which the solution is empires. The world has more countries than ever, yet is also richer and healthier than ever. This correlation and trend can easily continue for long time.

> are also studies that suggest change for the worse.

There aren't. The literature is surprisingly uniform. I mean, I'm sure you can find something funded by a libertarian thinktank that says otherwise, but nothing by credible researchers doing honest research. Universally and without exception, areas that increase the minimum wage experience economic boosts compared to similar areas that don't.

> Minimum wage earners aren't going to be investing in increased production capacity.

Nobody said they would, or would have to. Restaurant owners do the investing; wage earners do the consuming. Investment follows demand, obviously.

> very unlikely that minimum wage rises are a big-picture win.

Oddly, the literature says the exact opposite.

You seem to think that there's a fixed supply of restaurant meals - only 100 meals, no more, and if Sue wants to eat then Larry doesn't get to. This is... not the case.
People in US are allergic to putting money into common pools (be it taxes, healthcare, licenses, insurance, infrastructure), even if the aim is better quality of living for everyone. Its EVIL as long as someone else has potential of gaining anything from said payment.

F you I got mine, mah freedoms, communism, handouts, those are the recurring 'arguments'. Take this YT dude learning that in order to run business you need to ... actually get permits, license and pay taxes, and all the comments under the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR5n3v9Sih8 Its a never ending stream of "move to another state", "bad government", "stealing from small guy" while dude hacks Salvage title wrecks on his curb (or illegal condemned structure) and flips them to unsuspecting victims. No license, no registered business, no insurance, no liability. 6 months later he is still at it, whining about receiving permanent injunction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XNHVKSjzOY and contemplating car raffles (apparently being taken down for running illegal gambling sounds better than paying taxes) and tax dodging schemes (charities, non profits).
She's applying short sighted solutions for the declining 2 million of "rich" Parisians (aka her electors) in an area of 12 million. She's basically flipping the bird to more 80% of the population.

Lived in Paris for 20 years, everything is getting worse:

- Public transportation => many subway lines are saturated

- Traffic jams => stupid road and signals reworks (for cycling lanes mostly), it's a disaster, I am starting to think that about 90% of the population lives more than 5km from work and will never use a bicycle

- Security => cops have been in overtime for 5 years with Vigipirate & gilet jaunes and have no time for anything else

- Pollution => not a single cop around to enforce vehicles pollution laws, better hand parking tickets

Overall feels like a third world country where the state is losing control over everything.

Anyone younger and applying (scientifically) proven solutions could do.

One of the great ironies of the state of media in America: almost everyone agrees that Fox News is extermely biased and sometimes dishonest. Yet CNN, ABC, CBS, NYT and MSNBC are bastions of truth.

Totally agree, it seems crazy that my country of origin can figure out how to have a free online filing system and the US can't. Not sure how to characterise the problem, since corruption isn't a simple enough measure, we have tons of that in South Africa too. It's complicated I guess.

Sounds like a legitimate idea executed the wrong way. If there is a genuine need in the market for such a service, surely the studios would cooperate (ideally with the director) in order to produce a clean cut?

Seems to me very similar to overdubbing with other languages. Definitely kills all the hard crafted work of sound design and nuance in actor's performance, something the director should be the authority on - but deals are worked out and films are distributed with language tracks because there's huge global markets and it's ultimately a business decision.
> The Danes who wrote those laws were elected by the citizens in a fair and open democracy

Not really comforting to a slightly smaller minority that didn’t vote for them. A democracy is not a panacea and that’s why the US has the bill of rights to raise the bar on changes to fundamental rights.

> One that is transparent, progressive and highly respected around the world.

By whom? People in other countries don’t give two shits about judicial interpretations of laws in another country.

> That Denmark has one of the lowest rates of corruption in the world.

Corruption is orthogonal to government structure. Massively oppressive regimes can operate entirely inside their own laws and not be corrupt.

> That Danes are free to pursue information elsewhere (as in the entire internet) if they don't like whats available locally

Are they allowed to spread said information? If not, that’s not significantly better than the arrangement in China.

I agree we'll sees a swing in political narratives from 'strong man 1% wield fire' to minorities to lgbt and the great mother. It's already begun, reddit is bathed in it. We might see a loud minority of lesbians start bra burning or whatever as a political story in a few years. But when it comes to statements about large scale social changes from disruptive technology causing a political change one needs to be more careful.
If you're tying ribbons to trees in forests but not to other trees, you (or other interested folks) can correct any errors. And, if you actually wanted to be fair, you'd fix your mistakes yourself (or with your own resources) instead of expecting everyone else to clean up after you.

If you have robots chopping down forests, there's not much to do when they're wrong except apologize and explain that algorithms are hard.

This whole conversation is about the situation where the artist/author includes something that the viewer/user doesn’t want to see. Whether or not to include ads is as much an artistic choice as whether or not to include profanity— they’re both parts of the aggregate experience, and editing them out means you’re no longer experiencing the work as its creator intended. This is evident in that works sometimes include fictional advertisements with the same presentation as you would expect from real ones.

As such, I struggle to see a meaningful distinction between these cases. As a corollary, I also believe online publications have a responsibility to exercise editorial control over the ads that appear on their sites.

>> In fact, the court stated, when police are performing their public safety duties, they cannot be "burdened with the condition" that they pay for property damage.

But that sounds completely out of proportion in this case. Is it really that important for the safety of the public to aprehend a man who stole two belts an a shirt from Walmart, that it justifies blowing up someone's house walls and driving an AV through its doors? Isn't responding with such force a bigger threat to the public than letting a shoplifter go?

I understand that the man had a gun and barricaded himself to the family's house, but still the response sounds disproportionate and more damaging than anything the shoplifter could have done.
