Maybe they could recommend content by storing the content metadata/viewcounts/social graph in a FLOOD style network like Aether[1].

Then the content itself is just linked via an IPFS/DAT url within the metadata.

This is a great point. We've been building to this for a long time. Social media and the modern internet is just the tip (a big tip though!) of this problem.

Agree. Being able to verify web functionality on a remote box through lynx can be surprisingly helpful. There’s also just something helpful about being able to do stuff in just a terminal or all keyboard.
Wow, this is a really slick experience on mobile. I've tried most tools in this class and this might be the most responsive & snappy. Maybe because everything is client-side.
Yep. Seems much better than Lynx.

I'm "opesstimistic" about it. I think the average person is simply too stupid to foresee the problems. It takes a broader view to see the parallels with history and how these technologies can (likely will) lead to abhorrent abuse. I don't mean to be arrogant but I think the average person lacks the mental depth to look past the immediate convenience or to be skeptical of the glitzy sales pitch.

Stallman, Snowden, the EFF, and the rest of us are Cassandras. People just don't give a shit. Let alone the future, people are still trying to roll back protections we got in the 18th Century. There just isn't going to be a public consciousness of how we need to limit power from using tech that was invented a decade ago, no matter how many articles or blog posts those weird nerds write about their tinfoil paranoia.

I think we're just doomed to suffer the consequences again and learn from the suffering. It will be hell on earth for a lot of people but the light at the end of the tunnel is that tyranny is an objectively inferior mode of organization, and it always has to collapse eventually.
I find it weird that Kialo uses true or false for everything, even the much more subjective questions which should really be yes or no.

I'm going through a related situation right now, but I'm the one who is the recipient of the negative action.

I posted a video of me playing the piano on YouTube. I got a copyright notification, that I was playing the melody to a song that someone else held the copyright for.

What's the problem? Well, the melody was published in 1886 (133 years ago) under the exact name identified in the copyright claim. The composer died in 1901 (118 years ago). It is not under copyright protection in any jurisdiction! Now, I'm having to appeal the copyright claim... not to YouTube, but to ASCAP (the company who is claiming the copyright in the first place)!!!! In fact, because it was MY arrangement and MY performance and MY production, I own the copyright to that video in every way legally recognized! In my mind, this is THEFT... from ME!

My point is, if YouTube had not at least told me what I'm being accused of, there is no way that I would have figured this out! I haven't done anything wrong! Someone else (ASCAP, ICE_CS) is fraudulently claiming copyright!

Under your system, I would have to "invent" things to confess to.

Of course, now the problem is that I have no power in this situation. ASCAP must agree that they don't want to monitize my video, and they have no incentive to do that. I have no protection or recourse. :(

And, for anyone who's interested, this still isn't resolved.

> I feel like Bootstrap (and similar) are a lot "to blame" for some of these.

IMO, it's more about developers just using Bootstrap without reading the documentation. The examples are pretty well done, they use semantic elements and are accessible.

For example, the Navbar[1] element has a good HTML structure and uses `aria-label`s that announces what's going on to assistive technologies.

Another one is the modal example[2], it has semantic elements, the `tabindex="-1"` attribute to make it accessible to keyboards and the correct use of the `aria-label` as well.

So, their documentation pretty much teaches you how to use it correctly. I'm not a fan of Bootstrap myself, but I think throwing the blame at it is unfair.

So I need a full install of Firefox to use Browsh for just text-based browsing?

Thats like Lynx requiring Electron for text-only web browsing, which sounds more like a massive downgrade in the view of a minimalist user's point of view.

Nevertheless, a great project feature-wise with having most if not all of Firefox's features in a text-only fashion.
Ah yes you're right, I completely missed that and that's true. I was thinking about it more from the point of view of not mixing specifying output with implicit instructions on how to reach it (for example, don't say you want to order an array and then pick the last number, just say you want to pick the greatest number from the array) - but that's only assuming you actually are precise about what outcome you want and don't ask for anything irrelevant, which of course people obviously will do from time to time.
That 1% matters when you're running a large, commercial website. Look what happened to Domino's recently. Sued for having an inaccessible website. Also, refusing coupon codes over the phone since a user couldn't use your website because you ignored accessibility guidelines is in completely poor taste. You want a discount? Better have vision that at least this good and fine-grained motor control necessary for mouse usage to successfully complete placing an online order.

> Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH and a corresponding author for the paper, said a major obstacle has been the lack of a catalyst that can effectively split seawater to produce hydrogen without also setting free ions of sodium, chlorine, calcium and other components of seawater, which once freed can settle on the catalyst and render it inactive. Chlorine ions are especially problematic, in part because chlorine requires just slightly higher voltage to free than is needed to free hydrogen.

Which gets to one of my big questions about generating hydrogen from seawater:

I assume there will be waste products, which in the best case, is either brine or salt. If we're making hydrogen in mass from seawater, what is the environmental impact?

No, I'm surprised people still use e2e tests as they are not the best way to test what you described..

There are better ways, like the ones I've described. We are not longer in 90s..

ps. e2e tests are not the same as manual testing, so they do not even fully cover your case. They are expensive and take long time to run, while simple pact build step provides pretty much the same value and is pretty much instant while making it easier for all developer teams to track api changes..

>What does this emergent behavior mean in practice? It's not inherently good or bad. If my index becomes more popular than individual nodes, so what?

Apathy or indifference is also a valid position. However, I was addressing the many who do think there's "bad" in that emergent behavior.

What does it mean in practice? Some believe Google's search index, Youtube's video service, Facebook, etc have too much power over the internet. Therefore, lecturing them that "the http protocol itself is already decentralized so what does it matter that one http node spelled "youtube" is more popular?" -- is not a satisfactory explanation. They want to change that power imbalance.

Therefore, I believe the social ideals for p2p video would be to take away power from Youtube and have it more widely dispersed. Ideally, nobody would be big enough to "dominate" in the web video ecosystem. There wouldn't be a Power Law of popular cache index servers with one eventually dominating.

I'm saying that p2p video really can't prevent that from happening if a bunch of users voluntarily gravitate towards index servers which are centralized -- which negates the power-dissipating intentions of p2p. Also consider that many video content creators would voluntarily upload their videos to those index cache servers which further solidifies the centralization of power. Humans keep being humans and will subvert the (global) goals of decentralization and (local individual actions) aggregated together inadvertently recreate centralized platforms!

If you don't care about that, that's valid but a lot of others do based on common complaints of Youtube wielding too much influence.
If you're working on projects of a certain scale, it becomes a legal issue. If it's personal site you're talking about, or a small client, then practically I could agree. But there's no reason to ignore accessibility guidelines if you're aware of them. I like to use tab navigation since sometimes it's faster than a mouse. But if you make your button a div, and don't add tabIndex="0" to that div, I can't do that. Your comment is too presumptuous about how people actually use computers.
> It costs nothing to start a new subreddit if you want different rules. And if lots of Redditors agree with you, they’ll happily follow you.

Which certainly doesn't violate any laws.

The unintended consequence, however, is more isolation and less engagement with ideas you don't already subscribe to or people you don't normally encounter.

This is not a Reddit specific problem of course, it applies to Twitter and Facebook or any other social media platform. But it's concerning and difficult to find any easy and obvious solutions.
Superhuman Memory – Discover the True Potential of Your Memory
> CPUs don't miss an operation

Unfortunately, once you deploy your software at scale you discover that some CPUs do in fact miss operations. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=968683 for example, which has also been observed in Firefox crash telemetry (e.g. see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593228 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553380#c2 and so forth).

Now CPUs do mostly work; we're talking about single-digit numbers of crashes per day across the thousands of people who run Firefox nightlies. But I wouldn't want to trust a plane's avionics to this particular CPU model, for sure.

Those who weren’t following us when we began back in the mid-1990s and have only more lately encountered our fact-checking efforts sometimes ask us why we address humorous and satirical articles at Snopes.com. And the plain answer to that question is, “Because people ask us about them.”

https://www.snopes.com/notes/why-we-include-humor-and-satire...

Articles from sites like Babylon Bee -- hell, even from The Onion, in more than one case -- get stripped of context, quoted, slapped on meme GIFs, and traded around by folks who don't know (or sometimes don't care) about the source. Another quote from the linked article:

If Clickhole (an offshoot of the Onion humor/satire site) publishes a new article, and within a day 1,200 different people have queried us to ask if that article is “true,” then clearly Clickhole isn’t well known to those 1,200 people. They, and others like them, are the audience we’re attempting to reach and inform that Clickhole is a humor site — not, obviously, the many people who follow Clickhole and therefore know that the site’s material is not intended to be factual.

In our current highly-politicized environment, there's a subset -- and not an insignificant one -- of the population which is very ready to believe the worst about "The Other Side". The web site The Conversation surveyed over 800 people to ask about the most shared fake political stories on social media during a two-week period, and The Babylon Bee came up in their results:

"Members of both parties failed to recognize that The Babylon Bee is satire, but Republicans were considerably more likely to do so. Of the 23 falsehoods that came from The Bee, eight were confidently believed by at least 15% of Republican respondents."

https://theconversation.com/too-many-people-think-satirical-...

I'm not suggesting this is a sign that Republicans are more gullible, per se -- I'm suggesting it's a sign that when people are fed satire that plays into their biases and that satire is played with an Onion-style perfectly straight face, more people than you think believe it. That means there's going to be way more than you think who say, "Hey, is that true?"... and go to snopes.com to find out.

Even, yes, if the quote is from The Babylon Bee.

What's is DHH's credit score versus his wife? My wife and I file joint returns, she's a stay-at-home mom with no non-joint credit accounts, and has a different (higher!) credit score than me. I'm willing to wager that credit scores have a lot to do with this, especially credit score plus personal debt (I'm just assuming DHH's wife might still have some college loans?) plus percentage of credit utilization. There are a TON of factors that go into computing what one's credit limit should be but whether you're genetically an XX or an XY isn't part of it.

It is an odd thing to explain to someone. "So.. you watch other people play games? Why don't you just play them yourself?"

When you are playing games (especially horror) you are really in the moment and focused on the objective. When watching someone else you can lay back and laugh when they jump out of their chair (and sometimes spill your popcorn as well).

I personally prefer YouTube however as I find the Twitch apps to be clunky and I don't really care for the so-fast-hard-to-read chat. I tend to find people that focus on the horror genre and check in with them every so often for new content.
