It makes no sense to me. You are saying, that instead a 5 kB webpage, you would load 50 MB code, which emulates a browser, just to show you the same webpage?

Every webpage pays for the traffic in some way, and everybody tries to save web traffic as much as possible (optimizing images, videos, minifying JS, CSS ...). It makes no sense to expect, that websites would turn the opposite way just for fun.

I would be very glad, if you can emulate a computer in a browser, so you can e.g. use VirtualBox or VMWare comfortably in your browser. Still, it will be sandboxed (it can not turn off your computer, or clear your hard drive, etc.).

I think the web is the most open, independent, secure and versatile platform today. And I hope it will become even better and more powerful in the future.
That's really not outside the realm of possibility for something to change the microbiome. That's a quarter pound of bread, two servings and about 280 kcal on the loaf I have in front of me. That's a reasonable amount for someone to consume as part of a normal diet.

We know small changes in diet can have a large effect on the microbiome. For example, adding seaweed to a mouse diet can select for microbes with the ability to digest particular polysaccharides within seaweed (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0092-4). A company spun out of the Sonnenburg lab at Stanford is using this tech for microbiome therapeutics in humans (Novome). Those mice were given 10% seaweed by weight, so that serving of sourdough is right in the same range.

My point is, the researchers designing these experiments know what they're doing, and they're well thought out. You can't criticize something if you don't know the details of the field.
And I'll just add: your approach to consciousness is strikingly similar to how Christians conceive of souls.
To me, "This page has been left blank intentionally" would sound the best, but eh.
When you have been in the water long enough sharks are a natural encounter. After a while they just become part of the landscape to you. They are attracted to the struggling fish and will try to bully you for your fish but rarely are you their main attraction. When you realize that they are a lot like dogs is when your attitude starts to change with about them being around. You realize if you stand your ground give them a nudge with your spear, they generally loose interest really quickly. They avoid fighting for or with their meal. They always say it is the shark that you don't see that will get you and it is true. As long as your keep them in your sight, and confront them they will loose interest. I am no more afraid of a shark nowadays than I am a dog. You give them respect but you stand firm. I have only ever been in one really hairy situation and that was with a persistent 14 ft Tiger shark. Long story short after several nudges with my spear, and it just circling back around, I used what we call a blowfish defense on it, where you ball up and as they are coming in you stretch out your body, arms and legs quickly. That was enough to startle it and cause it to loose interest. That was the first and last time I have ever had to blowfish, All of the rest where easily persuaded that I was going to fight for my meal.
True. And "cancel culture" has always been the way things are. It's nothing new. It's just we used to "cancel" people for things like being gay or socialist. No one likes to be on the unpopular side of the social spectrum, but then again, no one is guaranteed a platform or an audience, only the right to speak to those who will listen willingly.
As you know, people are capable of voting and protesting in addition to signing a petition. Also, the stance of "you shouldn't tell an organization you don't like what they're doing unless it's literally illegal" is pretty wild. Nevertheless, since it seems to matter to you, ICE constantly breaks the law:

I'm not saying that there aren't systemic problems with ISPs in the US. I don't think the market is properly solving the issue on many areas because there is no significant competition. The impact from Google just announcing fiber coming at some point to an area was significant. Also net neutrality should be a no-brainer. I'm however unwilling to focus on bringing the wonders of civilization to people who decided to move as far away as possible from it.
I also might be disgruntled because it's largely the same people who then turnaround and punish you for it with their vote.
This should be mitigated by browser vendors by integrating HTTPSEverywhere as a core functionality of the browser that needs to be explicitly turned off (instead of the current state of affairs where we have a tiny minority on the web who are familiar with installing security add-ons). Visiting a HTTP site should come with a scary warning. I understand this throws old sites under the bus, but there could be other solutions here such as restricting 3d party resources as a second layer defense once the user clicks through the first warning to access the HTTP content.

and in case I'm totally wrong, what mitigations are feasible? More trade war such as by compelling ISP's to null-route Chinese businesses like Baidu.com as a form of sanction?
That is however not just about partners, but also about having good friends that count. About having meaningful relationships with all kinds of people, not just partner.

The amount of women in stable heterosexual relationship is the same as amount of males in heterosexual relationship. If you talk about people having one night stands randomly, there is no connection except sex there.

The most lonely isolating experience I ever had was being at home with children. It may just be that this gives one training for how to deal with being alone and tilts female culture towards behavior that prevents loneliness. Plus it makes it more acceptable for woman to display behavior that prevents loneliness in long term.
It negates the usefulness of the concept.
Yes, most famously put forward in Norman Angell's 1909 book The Great Illusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Illusion).
Small scale digging & semi-automated specialized trenching equipment makes for smaller crews, smaller capital investment, and less time to dig a given trench. (Did you know that there's a delightfully named machine called a Ditch Witch?)

For another, the equipment you need to support a given level of bandwidth has dropped orders of magnitude in cost. For another, endpoint hookups are faster and easier, we know much better how to splice fiber faster and cheaper. etc etc... it takes a real lack of imagination to claim it's the same as when we put in electricity and telephone networks or even early fiber or copper networks.
Well, I would counter that if you want to use a new application (Firefox) with the local server, there should probably be a support ticket to at least ask if they believe it should function correctly.

While you probably can assume Firefox will mostly work, there's decades of history saying you probably shouldn't, given the state of enterprise web apps. To be safe, I wouldn't assume Firefox would work any better than lynx for an internal app if neither are listed as supported (and the same goes for every browser).
I have a link to one of my other projects on the site - https://duetapp.com

Beyond that, I don't really have any specific plans to monetize.
> There’s a limit to how much leverage any one side has on a sovereign countries policies (and how much they actually enforce them when they agree).

I’m not advocating for anyone controlling sovereign Chinese policies. They can continue their awful anti-humanitarian policies, fraud, IP theft, etc. I just don’t want my country aiding and abetting it. At very least I want my fellow citizens to be able to make informed purchasing decisions.

And I’m all for lifting people out of poverty, but I’d rather do it in a country with some minimum base line respect for human rights and integrity, and where my purchasing dollars don’t end up propping up some dictatorial system that bullies other countries.
This article seems pointless without detailing any of the results, why not give some numbers on their performance on benchmarks?
I enjoy many chess variants. Atomic chess is quite fun (in 2012 or so a friend and I created an opening book to find forcing lines for White, where Black must know the correct line or lose by force). I have spent hundreds of hours playing bughouse, especially playing both boards against a normal team (which is a very fun way to play for stronger players). The difference is that none of these variants make a claim to be a replacement for normal chess. The seriousness of chess960 is exactly why I don't like it. Bughouse is not intended to be taken seriously.

yeah pop is just using the gnome desktop (with custom theming, a few extensions, and an improved set of default keyboard shortcuts.

They have collaborated with elementary in a few areas though. Instead of gnome software, they have Pop Shop, which I believe is a fork of the elementary app center.

They also use their own installer, which I believe was a collaboration with elementary os.
You can like Trump or not, but he's probably one of the people in power who'd least care for this sort of censorship. He clearly revels in public debate, perhaps even to an unhealthy degree. It may not be Lincoln-Douglas stuff, but that's how democracy is supposed to work.
I probably share political stance with most of the people signing this and it's a very interesting type of dilemma that I haven't thought quite through just yet but I think I disagree with this.

It's common for especially B2C corporations to have highly documented CSR policies. They will not work with suppliers that perform testing on animals. Or employ child workers. And they will not work with suppliers who have suppliers that do those things. The entire chain is potentially audited. I approve of this concept and I vote with my wallet.

This situation, however, is different. Whereas companies choose suppliers, they don't really choose customers. At least by some definition, the customers choose them. I know that this gets muddy because sales, but still. And I don't like the idea that companies should start auditing their customers. What if some company that deals with ICE uses Github? Or say someone who used to work at ICE formed a company -- is that company in the clear? Doesn't seem like a viable direction to me.

i would expect yogurt and kimche to behave differently than just the byproducts of fermentation: alcohol, vinegar, pickles but both will have some impact on digestion, whether it be a live culture or a ph change.

even different sugars would digest through different pathways.
You're looking at it wrong, like a transaction. But imagine a guy who finds humor and joy while progressively losing eyesight. A guy who's passion for seeing things before they're gone livens and betters all who know him. That guy is somebody people will want to be around. If you sink into bitterness it'll form a self-reinforcing pattern that will ensure your loneliness. And please talk with a professional if you haven't, because that is a heavy thing you're facing and perspective can really be helped by the right person.
No. The Supreme Court has ruled that the postal clause applies narrowly only to the post office.
I don't know; my ISP has raised my bill by 50% over the last three years. My only other option is EarthLink, and they charge... wait for it... the exact same price. I live just outside Austin.

I could use some competition in this space.
So satung trump is a failed business man is only a point of view.
You've completely missed my point. I will reiterate:

* Conflating all types of failures is problematic and something you must learn to avoid if you start a company

* Failure is more about larger goals than the steps to get there

So, I have no investors or employees, and my goals are my own right now. Eventually that may change, and I will have to change my goals to account for that.

I'm not sure why I'd be viewing this from the eyes of an employee as I am a founder.
I keep hearing this kind of sentiment a lot recently. Not that I have any sympathy for the Twitter mobs, but there is a huge difference between government-sanctioned "legal" censorship, and some unorganized group of trolls harassing someone on Twitter.
For the primary: I don't know, to be honest. I really don't want to vote for anyone so elderly, you can see with Trump and Biden that their cognitive capability to form words and give good speeches is pretty lack luster.

For the general: Whoever is not Trump, they are all superior in myriad ways...the only Dem who isn't superior to Trump is Marianne Williamson, because she's just as qualified and sensible as Trump.
> every time I wake up from the un-consciousness of sleep.

Do you not dream when you sleep (I mean, when you enter REM state)?

I know there are people who don't - but most of us I believe do dream (and some of us can become "conscious" of being in the dream state, while continuing to dream - aka, so-called "lucid dreaming").

I'm not a researcher or anything in regards to consciousness - but I wonder if there is anything that study of people who dream vs those who don't can tell us about it?
It's also why the EU was founded, and in that instance it worked great. European powers used to be constantly at war with each other, but in the last 70 years there was no large-scale war within Europe (except for Ukraine/Russia, both not in the EU), and war between EU states has become unthinkable.
In theory urgent care would be useful, but for anything non-obvious you have to go to ER. Abdominal pain? ER. Head injury? Dislocation requiring pain management? ER.

Urgent care can get you antibiotics and test for strep, and I think x-ray and set simple fractures, and stitches of course. What else is within their scope, I find it fairly limited.

10 years is a very short period of time for these kind of things. How does it rate on a 50 or 100 year timescale? I'd wager we're still miles ahead of, say, the 1950s, when you could be arrested for being too "communist", or prosecuted for blasphemy or indecency for things that are very normal today.
If I'm already proficient with React+JS, what's the benefit of this besides using other languages?
If I understand the article correctly, ISOC took a reasonable decision based on (a) they are not supposed to be a registry operator; and (b) "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". That is, the $75m/annum profit from .org may not last for long, but the $1.1135 billion will be a great endowment fund.

The flip side is the implication (and I hope I read this correctly) is that a bunch of smart but possibly ethically challenged individuals infiltrated ISOC (a non profit) in order to create investment opportunities for themselves down the road.
> So that basically adds maybe 5-10 more years before they'd ever get it?

They'll have access to Starlink within the next few years. Proper broadband access at prices competitive to fast cable and fiber in the rest of the country.
MSSQL (and others like Oracle) have 100s of millions in research and development invested by now. PG is great for 80% of uses but it won't match the advanced performance scenarios.
> All I am saying that there may be many mitigating or aggravating circumstances.

Apparently not, at least according to the article I linked you. The legal theory under which a retailer would be liable is strict liability. That means that even if they did their absolute best to only sell safe goods, they are still liable for damages. I'm not commenting on whether that's good or bad, but it is how it is.

> I am also quite convinced that the "let's sue Amazon" bandwagon has a lot more to do with Amazon being a gigantic retailer with potentially large payoffs rather than the merits of the case.

The ability of the respondent to pay is a valid consideration when considering the target of a lawsuit. I'm sure some of the glee at the prospect on this site does come from the anti-corporate sentiment that's common on here, but that doesn't change the calculus of choosing a lawsuit target.
Just wanted to say our baby came two months early and spent six weeks in the NICU as well. This was a little over a year ago.

She was fed through a nose tube for a while. We got to watch her on a web cam when we couldn't be at the hospital. But it was a "medical grade" web cam and was pretty bad all around.

The NICU had two large rooms, one for new entries and one for more stable babies. The large rooms had some nice aspects. They allowed us to socialize with other parents going through the same thing. That was helpful. It was also helpful to see the flow of babies out of the NICU as they get better. It also had some drawbacks: one baby was born much earlier than ours and the mother suffered a great deal, and did so rather publicly because of the open room.

You described your baby as new, so I just wanted to say our baby is doing amazingly and I hope things are going well for you and your family.
The whole point is that you couldn’t use the script over HTTPS even if you really wanted to.

I'm not a huge fan of anybody (china or otherwise) performing content inspection or filtering on my behalf transparently. That's just another instance of the Great Firewall with other people at the reigns. If you chose to do that at your edge network, kudos for you. Just don't force it upon me.
How would that even work? I imagine GitHub has a pretty typical sales department right now, with salesfolks who try to make deals selling licenses to anyone willing to buy (with perhaps a handful of well-understood exceptions, like no sales to Iran or North Korea).

If they add an ethical vetting layer in there, ok, sure this one is an easy call. But people will continue to complain about other government agencies, foreign and domestic. People will complain about corporations who violate privacy or violate open source licenses or violate web standards. People will complain about non-profits who align with religious or political interests. People will complain about polluters and arms manufacturers or companies with ties to polluters or arms manufacturers.

Next thing you know, GitHub can't sell to the State Department or DOJ or Ford or GM or Maersk or Boeing or Shell or Aramco or Google or Facebook or McKinsey or so many others. And, I dunno, cutting those organizations out might be a great ethical move, but I'm not sure spending significant amounts of time investigating organizations and adjudicating the results and deciding NOT to make sales and dealing with the inevitable lawsuits is going to help GitHub make money.
If "in a single file" means having your html and your javascript in your go file, that's not a feature...
>Yes, I'm not sure what the future holds for HTML but I'm confident the ultimate goal of webassembly is to make the browser a secure place to run full native like apps. That suggests some apps will not use HTML and just render everything themselves

Fortunately advertisers are renowned for their self-restraint, and can be trusted to not abuse this capability to simply shove in as many ads as they possible can, wherever they can, with masses of unblockable trackers underneath it all.
The integer was set correctly, so it wouldn't have triggered an assertation.

And valgrind didn't find the leak, so dlmalloc or CRT def would not have.
I agree with this.

While I agree with the rhetoric of this site, this site really is just empty rhetoric.

The "why" on this site is, in my opinion, a terrible, ineffective, dogmatic argument. I agree with the dogma, but I'm not the one that needs convincing.
That is atrocious. I know in some communities, there is an effort to clean up beaches polluted by the world; do these places have such a program?
The submitted title was "It's official, WebAssembly is here to stay". That broke the site guidelines by editorializing. Please don't do that.
Building a Search Engine from Scratch
People aren't perfect. I don't think anyone commits a crime after performing a full calculation of the consequences. I think you demonstrate an important trend with your comment. The desire to label things and ignore circumstances. It appears to me that people don't want to think about the nuances of things; they just want to simplify all thought to some label level where conclusions are easily made.
A full load is 12 credit hours per week (at the schools I attended in the US), but there were plenty of people who took more than that. At some schools the tuition caps out at a certain amount of credit hours (12 where I went) and you can take courses beyond that amount and it doesn't cost extra (in terms of money at least).
This is basically the problem with IT Contracts in the Netherlands at the moment (though it is getting better due to proper oversight). Lowest bid winners with no technical knowledge on the proposal side to include the technical challenges in the process. Resulting in expensive shoddy work projects which always overrun in cost due to several factors (design change, minimal/poor work, non extensible etc). The problem is that the overruns are by design as they know there are little to no penalties involved which keeps the companies in the loop for far more than the original sum.
Just the shorts, maybe.
I don't agree that there's a huge difference in effect. Yes they can't throw you in jail like a government could. But they could ruin your career, make you lose your job, and make you a pariah for years to come, throwing your life upside down.
You'd think someone that has been in the senate for 30 years would have SOME kind of accomplishment...?
