Laws on the books got enforced?

I don't get all the bleeding heart nonsense about deporting illegals. The reality is that a certain element of the population commits most of the crimes and makes life a living hell for citizens trying to go about their lives. It is the duty of our government to follow the law and follow through with helping legal CITIZENS maintain their living standards. Failure to do so both de-legitimizes government as well as turns our nation into a chaotic mess, something I would prefer that we avoid.

I expect the government to enforce the law, not selectively enforce it, but actually enforce it. If we choose not to then we should repeal those laws. There really isn't a lot of middle ground here--selective enforcement is a liberal tactic used to push an agenda. No other country has been as lax about border security as the US has been and no other country has been as generous to the overall criminal element that benefits from lax/corrupt law enforcement. No other country has been so generous with taxpayer dollars spread around to both friends and enemies. We subsidize Europe, we subsidize North Korea and everything in between. When Trump brings up this sad fact, he is excoriated by the media. But that doesn't me he's wrong.

While Americans are paying for the safety and upkeep of most of the rest of the world, generational Americans are being replaced by more pliant newcomers for political purposes while being told our rights don't matter and our needs don't matter even though it is we who pay the taxes to supply those things such as good schools for OUR children. It's falling apart--I'm watching it in our own school district and the especially in the neighboring one where ESL students have overwhelmed the entire system and its ability to budget. All brought to us by well-intentioned, but misguided, profit-seeking Christian churches.

An observation: If the county I live in didn't have to arrest so many foreigners for committing crimes there would barely be any crime here. Also, the majority of child welfare cases relate to one issue: Drug/alcohol abuse. I don't even think there would be as much domestic abuse were it not for substance abuse. And what is causing all the substance abuse? Drugs brought to us by lax border enforcement, on purpose, to meet a demand from hopeless souls whose economic lives have been undermined by corporate offshoring and mass immigration, a double-edged knife stuck right in their backs. People, men especially, are giving up and committing suicide.

If these communists succeed, you won't like your life under them, it will be seriously miserable. Not enough food, no heat in the winter, nothing that they promise will ever arrive. Worse, there will be no one left to ride to rescue. It is a dark future for humanity if America falls and we are falling.
Oh, fuck right off. Ordinary people aren't being dicks on twitter - it's a tiny minority of broken anglosphere cunts with nothing better to do than to ruin other people's lives.
No reason to use a global int32 as a healthiness bit. Treat it as a dependency to the health middleware and the signal handler.
Doesn’t seem worth it. Still have several billion living in countries that don’t actively damage the internet. Make do with communicating with them.
> seriously though. over the last few decades, economies around the globe have taken tax load off the bigger shoulders, and now the argument against any progressive agenda is "how would you ever finance this?"

US Government spending as a percentage of GDP has been fairly stable for decades. It's higher now than it was in 1970 -- the only time it has ever been substantially higher than it is now was World War II, and a transient spike a decade ago because of the housing bailout.

There are only two ways the government has ever really been able to spend more money on something. Grow the economy so that the same percentage of GDP is more money, or cut some other spending.

You can make a weird argument like that about pretty much anything. It doesn’t make it relevant.

> Nothing he said is related to the usual talking points of incels.

From my understanding, explicit, fatalist despairing of your sex life is the red/black pills to which incels refer. It is definitely an attitude to be concerned about, regardless of what labels you want to use, because it's a worldview that will reproduce itself without intervention.

> Can't you garner sympathy for a person who is missing out on one of the basic human needs (emotional connection)?

Do you think the advice to lose the incel angle (i.e. and actually admit the possibility of future relationships) was bad advice? That strikes me as more helpful than pitying him.

Men are more likely to shoot themselves or use other violent method. That is more effective and makes it harder to save the person then trying to poison yourself and such (female choice).
Very important to take care of. You’re responsible to government, investors, your team, and your customers when it fails.

Not so important that the entrepreneur must do the accounting. It’s a skill that can be hired out better than other skills. I wouldn’t hire a financially illiterate person to run a startup, but I wouldn’t normally look for an accountant to run a startup.
I think that is a trend in most HN comments just because the nature of the audience. Not a bad or good thing, just an observation.
Frontend Engineer here. That “popular hot-take” is my career, and I happily combine HTML and CSS into my JS every day.

React.js has been the most significant JavaScript library in the past decade. Over 50% of JS developers on the web are writing HTML inside JavaScript. In recent years, CSS-in-JS libraries like Styled-components are becoming standard.

We’re killing HTML templates and writing JSX. We’re killing CSS classes and building styled-components. It’s all compiling to HTML, CSS and JS in the end. We just get to do our jobs faster. Why people have a problem with that is beyond me.
I think that "Christmas Calendar" is a bit of a misnomer. To be precise, this is a variation on the tradition of the "Advent Calendar". Advent is the time of preparation for Christmas. Clearly the authors of the Calendar understand this, based on the graphic under day "1" :)

Edit: on second thought, i guess you've meant "Machine Learning Christmas" Calendar. That's fine. It just bothers me a bit that in the US people forget about Advent.
IIRC there was a time when a browser (maybe IE 6?) would generate a mixed content warning when you would try to load https resources in a http served page.
I would strongly suggest people take their political concerns to the appropriate channels - write your representatives, be active in local town council meetings, stay informed on things that civic duty requires in the US (which is expensive, btw!), and vote. It might seem pointless, but all of those things do actually matter and have measurable impacts. Your representatives do actually listen to you if you vote for or against them - and they’re not gerrymandered into a lifetime appointment or some other political failure.

Drafting an online petition like this is not too far off from storming someone’s place of work and asking them to forego their main means of survival. I understand the outrage over human rights abuses, but this isn’t the forum.
Without the Javascript file, the images will not load. AMP loads images using a custom element <amp-img> which has performance benefits such as lazy loading of images until they are close to the visible viewport and guaranteeing a stable layout that will not cause the elements on the page to jump around. The downside is that until Javascript is loaded, these images are not available to the browser.
That is really high. However I think you could run a few kettles off this. In the US most tea kettles are 1-1.5kW, as are other high power appliances like microwaves, hair dryers, vacuum cleaners etc. 15A circuit breakers are common for general purpose home power outlets which max out at 1.6kW. I think the NEC recommends 2 20A circuits to supply kitchen's non-dedicated power outlets.
Your assumption is that they are accepting the ICE contract despite their moral values. Maybe they do not see a conflict.

Not sure that's a major problem? Predators are generally the animals with the larger territorial requirements for a home range, and thus more reliant on the presence of these corridors to feed and disperse into new territory.
Brave is still based on chromium/blink. You might get more privacy, but you're still supporting the one monopoly of the web, Google deciding over all the web standards going forward. That is the real bad thing
As feedback to the author, since the author seems to also be the HN poster, I would agree with this. If it were the only meaningful file in the project, maybe it'd be worthwhile, but at 885 lines, this could stand to be broken into segments.

What I'd suggest then is adding a section to the README.md that functions as a reading guide for the code; start here, read this, here's what each file is doing, here's where this sample app is, here's that one, etc.
It's such an important distinction though. When people do it, it's just dissenting voices. When a platform removes someone, they can just find another platform. Twitter doesn't owe anyone a voice on it.

But when the government says you can't talk about a thing, they can make you take it down everywhere. Only this is protected, and this line needs to not be crossed.

I little sympathy for people getting upset at being deplatformed - they can go elsewhere, and their cries of freedom of expression cry wolf to the constitutional issue of those in power doing actual oppression.
I would because they are spending barely 40 of that on telco. Most of it is being spent on their content play to capture "premium" customers i.e. not the 163 million Microsoft claims don't have basic broadband speed internet access. Might as well just divide the country and be done with it, if you are quite happy with the direction Big Telco will take us.
There already is a compiler from wasm to asm.js, so I assume it wouldn't be too difficult to go from wasm to more typical js.
This post actually looks like a speculation. These are all proposals. Have any of them been accepted at all?

The syntax looks outright ugly in many examples.
I think technically you are correct. The earth could become essentially a farm, with a bunch of giant monoculture croplands that provide feed, oxygen, mulch, etc.

The downside is that the lush, unfathomable nature documentaries of the present will be a curiosity from the past.

But there is a pretty large population of humans who is already on board with something quite close to this transition. They live between farms and ranches deserts and cities and don’t see nature as anything but raw material to groom.

So I think your sarcasm is misplaced.

We need a real story for those people. Why should they care that everything over a kilogram could go extinct and ConAgra become responsible for seeding formerly wild spaces with geo-engineering products that maximize economic growth?
@trekhleb thanks for this write up, it is fantastic.
Are you planning on a similar explanation for neural nets?
Plan caching is different from prepared statements, but yes PG is not as advanced as other commercial databases in execution.

Usually the database client drivers will handle this for you. If you're using .NET, the npgsql driver maintains a connection pool and creates prepared statements for each new session. If you have something like PGBouncer in the middle then it gets more complicated.
I heard the same exact sort of complaints before the internet existed as even a niche thing for the ubernerds. Industrialization is a common culprit but given the "urge to go away adventuring or sailing" I suspect base human condition personally.

On a related note about community it brings to mind Fight Club, Rent, and other "pre-Great Recession" aging very poorly as bitching about your cozy office job which pays the rent handily just came across as a spoiled rich kid to those in the downturn.
When many large British companies were in state hands (up until the 1980s) there was no accountability. Customers were ignored because they had no alternative. The law - sensibly enough - didn't allow politicians to interfere in the running of the companies so they were basically unaccountable. That's how you got waiting lists of more than a decade for a phone line.

One of the Tory ministers responsible for privatizing utilities in the 1980s said they did it because the utilities would be easier to control as private companies with a regulator.

There is no silver bullet.

>95% of the time, if you can't represent your app state as pure text, you're overcomplicating your design and haven't thought enough about your UX.

This is a design opinion. I disagree with it. Minimalism is simply a design philosophy just like brutalism or complexity. The underlying mechanisms should be design agnostic.

>HTML on its own is a render target. CSS is a completely optional secondary display modifier that you put on top of that render target.

Sort of like turing completeness, HTML on its own is not "render" complete. There are many objectives that cannot be achieved with HTML alone. You must consider aspects within and outside of your "design philosophy" as the modern browser is intended to be a universal platform for multimedia applications. This is why HTML alone cannot be the render target.

Render targets are usually more fundamental with libraries built on top for more specific use cases. It would be better if the web browser world had pixel level render targets with HTML built on top as a library. This is how most graphical APIs work. Rather then what is now, HTML as the render target, and canvas as a child object of HTML.

This maintains "render completeness" and gives users the ability to use higher level DSLs like HTML + CSS or to (switch to)/write another library.

>This is why adblockers work, it's why stuff like Reader View works in Firefox. Because it turns out that forcing interfaces to be pure-text has substantial benefits for end-users. Try building something like a UI-level adblocker for a native app. You can't do it -- it's impossible.

while this is true I wouldn't center the design of a platform on whether or not ad blockers work for it. It is not central to the problem which is the creation of a universal platform that is versatile. Rather it is the implementer of the adblocker who must conform to the platform.
First, I'm completely in agreement on the Republican party. Both the main parties are a disaster, and their competition is stunted and ineffective. Part of that is because the two main parties are given all sorts of regulatory advantages by state and federal governments, and their competition is unfairly hobbled by the same. The favored parties' competitive abilities atrophy, and their competition cannot fully develop.

An analogous situation arises in business. When the government regulates quality and cost, it leaves businesses no natural path to profitability, so to allow them to survive, it must also interfere in competition, with subsidies, tariffs, and other measures, up to and including enforced monopoly. That keeps the natural economic processes that reward good quality and low price from operating --- the favored businesses cannot be displaced by their competition, and the effect of consumer dissatisfaction is blunted --- and provides the perverse incentives that create the problems you perceive in industry (and politics).
We do have laws to limit free speech in good and specific ways. You can't slander a person who isn't famous, for example, or incite violence against specific people or groups. And most of the cries of free speech being violated aren't really about the first amendment. Most are just people being deplatformed, which is a reminder that YouTube is just Google. It's a company, not a public space.
Strict HTTPS upgrades is probably warranted. Getting into the https preload list is easy (if your infrastructure is ready) and effective.

HTTPS has real costs, but if you're distributing javascript at high volumes you should pay them.

(Handling the ddos is harder when the target is https though... Can't know what the handshake is about until you've spent the cpu on handshaking)

Gesture widely at "billionaires", "wall street", and "military spending" as wells of resources that will also get us free universal health care, free college, a federal jobs guarantee, and free public housing (and more).

Sounds great, right? Does the math check out? Probably not, but it wouldn't matter anyway.

The president is not a king, and even with both houses of congress under democratic control (not even close to a given under a Sanders presidency), legislators in swing constituencies are not about to put their seat in jeopardy because of huge projects they never themselves ran under and committed to.

But Sanders loses nothing by making promises like this. It's all in hopes that his campaign gets traction before he loses Iowa/New Hampshire.
Maybe you shouldn't assault people if you don't want to be known for assault? Slap or not, hitting someone in a fit of anger is assault, full stop.

Even people which have been 'cancelled' for things that aren't assault still end up going on to have their career mostly unaffected unless they did something really henious.
Omit needless words?
Yes, because not all speech is the same and we needn’t treat it as such. There’s a difference between someone getting kicked out of a bar for antagonizing other patrons vs. because the owner doesn’t like their shoes.

Yes, there has always been a social layer to regulating behavior. In this sense, the world has almost become one village where you cannot escape your social offences, no matter where you go on earth. Also, a video or archive of a tweet doesn't fade. So I would say the visibility, reach, and permanence of one's offences is something new, or at least has reached a new unprecedented level.
This line of reasoning could also justify shoplifting to stock their break room. What I would "expect" (or really "hope") is that they would not do immoral/distasteful things.

As it is, obits are paid for by the word when they're printed. But apparently a few hundred dollars isn't enough to serve a simple webpage for a few decades.

It would be one thing if it were just an upfront one-time fee along with the publishing. But hitting you up after it's been "published", and instant-but-short-gratification options like $3 to unlock for 24 hours (etc) is just predatory.

Contrast the experience of buying a paper with the obit, keeping it, and running across it in ten years with the experience of hitting a truncated webpage that uses your lament to hit you up for money.
What would such a declaration do? Religious speech should be protected as much as any other speech.

Ethos Capital, as per their website and business model, is a private equity firm, not a VC firm. Very different things. Hard to take people seriously when they don’t know the difference.
It doesn’t (it could do a discrete leap forward in time). Still, why do I wake up as myself every morning? One of the papers linked in this thread discusses (lack of) object permanence from a QM perspective, I’d like to understand how subject permanence works as well, and functionalism does’t handle that well.
I'm not the biggest Musk fan by any stretch of the imagination, in fact there are plenty of things that Musk has done that I really disagree with. That said, between SpaceX and Tesla you've got to admit he knows how to move and as of this writing two batches of Starlink sattelites are in orbit. It's well beyond the proposal stage.

One thing no browsers I'm aware of does right is re-highlighting matches after clicking a link. Firefox keeps the search bar open, but you still need to re-trigger it to update the match count and highlight. Chrome just closes it, sigh, although that is a more accurate UI for the behavior.
