"I Miss the Old Internet" - an article about another website WITHOUT LINKING THERE. Congratulations, you've played yourself.

What's murdering the old internet is the lack of links. Everyone is posting screenshots, twitter/facebook/etc all hijack links, and we're surprised we can't find the sites.

Link to eachother. That's why it used to work.

>>> In America, we understand that there is absolutely nothing more dangerous than an entity that feels entitled to control what is true. It might make things easier, and it might actually produce better results so long as the entity doing so is competent and benevolent, but nearly every structure in America is meant to serve as a bulwark for the cases in which the entity in power is precisely the sort that you do not want to be making those decisions. And to be frank, Europe should probably be more wary of that.

In my honest opinion - every law should be made with assumption that in the future, or even now, an actor will exists that will abuse it to the utmost limits.

One of reasons i am vehemently against article 13 in Europe, or anti-hate speech laws(as those can be abused to basically turn into censorship laws - while doing absolutely nothing but hiding the symptoms of systematic problems).

> [1] It's 'good enough' for the majority of use cases. Some would argue that the lost features were cruft anyway. Which is fine unless you needed that cruft...

I don't like that "good enough" argument, because it misses the fact that features shape use patterns. Features are enablers.

To give a random example: I once visited my wife's office, and was given a task I could help them with while waiting. It was a task they did very frequently, and it boiled down to specifying a search query, and then adjusting some data in each of the result. They thought it'll keep me occupied for an hour or two, manually adjusting each of the hundreds of results, but I looked around the software and found a way to do a bulk update hidden somewhere in the UI, and was done in 3 minutes.

I taught the people in that office the trick and they were grateful, but it made me wonder - what if one day the software vendor removes bulk update switch because it's rarely used? It's only rarely used because it's not easily discoverable (but the telemetry will not tell you that). Wondering even further - how much money and opportunity to growth do companies lose on office tasks that are inefficient only because software was developed for the lowest common denominator, and offers no advanced features and no path to mastery?
Not locking yourself out and not letting a company lock you out. When the article started talking about using Google’s registrar, advanced account protection, and Google Fi, I started wondering whether it’s more likely these days to get specifically targeted for an online attack or for Google to randomly decide to lock your account forever.
There's no real culture here of meta discussion or throwaway comments/in jokes like there is on more socially engaged platforms.

The majority of discussion here is "on topic" - which is good but very different to Reddit or Slack communities which tend to revolve more around personalities.
> Dependency injection is particularly bad because it makes it difficult to find the path to the dependency's source code

I agree.

To me it seems that the problem is globals. In the Java example, it's convenient to think of "the bank" as global, right up to the point where it isn't (need to substitute a test service, or different banks for different regions etc.)
DI replaces global variables. "Magic" DI where this is handled invisibly by a framework lets you pretend it's still a global variable, with all the advantages and disadvantages of that.

I too prefer "explicit" DI where the dependencies are passed in. This does tend to lead to constructing a "world" object which carries around all the pseudo-global variables.

Perhaps this would benefit from language support in some way, just as Perl has $_ to allow non-explicit parameter passing.

didn't downvote but I do feel an instinctive distaste at seeing the sentiment expressed, not because it's a bad sentiment (it's actually a great one) but because of the role it plays in our public discourse.

As you pointed out, the people who share this sentiment are a minority - I'm less convinced it's tiny, what I've read suggests it's a sixth to a third, depending on how satisfied we mean. But that group is heavily weighted towards high-status professions.

As a result, a high-status minority is actively opposed to any social reforms that would increase leisure time, and I do believe we all suffer as a result. I don't think we can really put a price on Albert Einstein staying in that patent office, but I think it's very high and I think we all pay it. That's what I associate with comments like the grandparent - such a person is in a good situation, and good on them for recognizing it. But they often generalize their experience to a majority of the population where that is actually very much the wrong conclusion to draw.

With the DEA's penchant for "parallel construction" on the table, other ideas enjoy improved probability.

If the DEA is often drawing upon unconstitutional sources of information to build constitutional evidence as it constructs cases against organized crime, what does it do with unconstitutional information in all other situations?

Answer: whatever it wants.

Hanlon's razor must be deemed dull and rusty here, since the posture and stance of the DEA reeks of malice, and parallel construction techniques certainly preclude ignorance, if not incompetence.

Maybe the DEA had a clue about why a small time trucker might make for such a useful idiot.

Maybe they had a clue about how to lean on someone in just the right way, to march them into suicidal danger.

Maybe they knew they were going to walk away from this disaster in the making, before they even approached the guys, and they their hands would stay clean.

Maybe they arrived at a decision that they couldn't bring a case against this guy, but they could definitely take his company out of the game, and they decided that they knew enough turn a blind eye to absolutely lethal moral hazards, and hobble a company they disdained.

It probably smells like an extrajudicial action because it is.
> Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart. After he left the store, police say, he broke into Lech's house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun. Eventually, SWAT officers entered the home and apprehended him.

So Lech's house was 100% destroyed as a result. Now that is a lot of damage over two stolen belts and a shirt.

> In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property's doors.

Even if the shoplifter was armed and firing at officers, their response looks slightly disproportionate. The interesting bit here is that they didn't kill him.

> The suspect in the case, who was wanted in connection with shoplifting, was taken into custody after a 19-hour standoff. More than 100 officers from agencies around the Denver area responded to the incident.

OK, then.

> "As unfair as it may seem, the Takings Clause simply does not entitle all aggrieved owners to recompense," the appeals court wrote.

Yes, it totally reads like a joke.

> "There needs to be a line drawn for what police departments can do and what they need to do to compensate citizens for this kind of damage," Lech said. "I didn't want to sue anyone for millions. I just wanted fair market value for my house."

That seems reasonable. If the police forces are not responsible, can a case be held against the shoplifter to pay those damages? Not that it would be in any way more realistic given that he is insolvent, but the lawyers should try every route.

The idea that we can mandate people telling the truth is laughable.
The reason it seems to work in Denmark is probably because honesty is a social norm there.

Secondly, there is no absolute, objective truth and there never will be.

The best we can do is to individually strive for telling the truth and hope for the best.
>Citing element attributes as an example of such complexity is hardly reasonable. The JSON example above contains the same complexity, just moved to the application/implementation space

Where it belongs...

>so your app is more complex to handle it

There is a trade off between more simple markup and more complex code and vice versa. I would argue it is almost always better that way around because it helps enforce clear separation of concerns. I'm similarly allergic to putting complex logic in template code because that also violates a clear separation of concerns.

>Also not a great example. This is a simple DOS attack, of which there are many other examples: zip bombs, yaml bombs, etc.

This is precisely why it's a great example. YAML has the same problem with overcomplexity XML does. JSON has no such issues.

>There are also far worse attacks on XML than the billion laughs attack (XXE attacks are an entire category in the OWASP top 10).

Right, billion laughs is part of a class of security vulnerabilities that are enabled by XML's bloated design.

>The difference is, since references aren't built into the JSON spec, you have to do it yourself

Except you don't. I'm not sure if I've ever implemented references in any JSON schema I've ever used. It's an entirely pointless feature as far as I'm concerned. I've seen them used in YAML (where it's equally yucky) and every time it's been used it's been as a band aid over deficient schema design that also inadvertently made the markup harder to understand.

>By your own metric, JSON is actually "more complex" (in a good way) than XML in one area: value types. XML values are strings. Having value types is one massive advantage of JSON imo.

I hardly think having 4/5 scalar types counts as spec overcomplication. If you want a measure of how complex each markup language is simply look at the length of the respective specifications. XML is ridiculous.

I can twist that, and indeed I do, by quoting somebody telling a lie. I'm positive infotainments do it all the time: such and such people said that the Earth is flat because so and so.

People are so gullible, and some would argue that if they fall for things like that, it's on them. In my opinion, Twitter is getting into a muddy situation with this: what is "political", what is "advertising"... and what is "paid", are all terms that could have different interpretation.

One could argue that Twitter may have just said "hey you, if this is illegal, send a court order and will take it down, otherwise everything stays", forcing governments to actually define what goes and what doesn't, instead of relying on for-profit companies to tell us what we can see and what we can't.

But that train departed so long ago.

I made my site available over gopher a while ago[^1]; After reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19178885 and it's comments I curiously started up lynx and entered gopher the first time* and it was a massively unexpected ride into the forgotten oldskool internet.

* I'm from Hungary and gopher never really existed there. Besides, it kind of predates my internet-age, which really started around 1996.

The downside of uncropped screenshots is information leakage from e.g. your bookmarks, open tabs, unrelated emails, IM popups etc.

Another commentator mentioned annotated screenshots, and now I'm wondering about the "semantic screenshot"; imagine getting a copy of someone's desktop frozen in time with the ability to re-stack windows, check what's currently available on menus, etc.
I was the first to point out that all I have are anecdotes. I did so under the perspective that I am sceptical of their claim.

I do not have to prove anything. As I have already said, the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim, i.e., not me.

Even as a child in primary school, I learned in science class that theories are rarely proven, because it is so easy to disprove a supposedly proven theory by providing counter-evidence.

This is all somewhat tautological anyway. If you don't believe that people ever change their mind when presented with better information, then why are you even bothering to comment? Isn't it futile?

> ads aren't content themselves but a means for paying for that content

I’ve seen plenty of ads that are creative, funny, and engaging in their own right. A lot of talented people lend their creativity to make these, and your statement feels reminiscent of people that say genres they don’t like aren’t actually music. It’s incredibly condescending to dismiss their work as “not content”.

>>> This is such blatant and obvious nonsense. You philosophize on basis of the assumption that central authorities ('government') by definition cannot be trusted, and we should therefore be wary of anything that reeks of centralized decision making.

This should be basic assumption of the all laws. Remember early 20th century and legal takeovers of governments by warmongering maniacs in Europe?

It was legal, there was trust toward government. All it took was a single group to take over Germany and start WW2.

Even if no one will abuse the law currently, you have absolutely no guarantees(as democracy is popularity contest) that no one will try to abuse them in future.

>> That is a supremely American way of looking at the world.

Not really, it is very prevalent in Europe too - especially Eastern Europe which suffered under Russian communist occupation. Mostly because it was the case in those countries - the populace still remembers government actively working against people.

>> Despite the good intentions behind the decentralization of power and the checks and balances that have been built into your system, you have ended up with a nation where the most powerful person has blatantly and publicly broken all the norms and all the rules, who regularly and repeatedly tells the most outrageous lies, and where a very large amount of people stand behind him nevertheless because of large scale & organized disinformation campaigns by the likes of (decentralized) propaganda entities like Fox News.

>>> How does your system deal with that then? Not very well, it seems.

It works perfectly... for those in power. From citizens perspective it is a nightmare.

>> Wouldn't it be great if you would have a powerful centralized body that can say "Ehm, you guys keep on telling outrageous lies, we're going to forbid it and if you keep in doing it you'll be slapped with a fine that really hurts and your CEO might have to go to jail"?

What prevents this centralized body from making politically motivated decisions? If we go to the extremes we have examples in history - heresy trials, censors in communist Russia, and even current example - China.

One could argue for centralized body of such power in only a single case - system transition by force with benevolent ruler that will dissolve itself after transition.

Good Luck with that.
