No, I simply mean it would have been nice last week to let the schools know he's considering cancelling schools. By making this a sudden announcement he's caught all the schools on the hop, you might say. Today (Friday) is the one and only day left to wrap up the school year (school years end in March and start in April here). So final exams will be cancelled, maybe graduation ceremonies will be cancelled, students have to empty out their desks (they don't have lockers here).

Basically, teachers and students have to finish up the school year TODAY, with no advanced warning or time to plan.

So, I completely agree with Abe-san's desire to curb the spread of the virus, but being in the education system myself (and having 3 kids affected by his decision), a bit of an advanced warning would have GREATLY helped the schools, the kids, and the parents.

shrug But as I said, it's just my thoughts and hopes and desires as a father being affected by it! :-)

I was diagnosed of Hepatitis b in 2010, and my
Liver was bad. I saw a post about Dr julious Herbs that cures Hepatitis, CANCER, HSV FATTY LIVER, and lots more…. I contacted him and told him about my health, he asked me not to worry anymore that he’s going to prepare the medicine and send it to me in my country. 3 days after sendingreceived the package and I took the medicine as prescribed by him and I was cured from hepatitis b. I took the medicine for 3 weeks and the medicine has no Negative Influence, it only helped me get cured, you can as well whatsapp him on +2349036474795 also special on curing 1. HIV/AIDS HERPES 3.

I've got a weird SCSI to sdcard interface, I think it was initially developed for an 80s era sampler (sampling for music). But it works great in my Macintosh SE/30.
The larger you grow the set of rules the more precisely you can apply selective enforcement.
It should also be noted that they are covering the age group with the most medical issues. The other age groups have lower healthcare costs.
Correct me if I'm wrong and I read it wrong, but I think you're mixing up things here.

> Users that have more than 500 karma in quarantined subreddits outside of The Donald will not be allowed on the list of approved applicants [to be a moderator]

This is only for being a moderator. Simply upvoting posts (that don't break any rules) in quarantined subreddits does not get you punished.

> If the content that people are upvoting is bad enough to get banned over shouldn't it just be removed from the site and not left up to upvote?

What ends up happening in this subreddit is that the bad content doesn't get reported/deleted, which is what leads to the subreddit being quarantined in the first place. The whole point of a quarantine is exactly to push people to report bad content, and acts as a warning. This new change makes sense as far as pushing people to report said content and not keep promoting it.

I also don't think the content is being "left to be upvoted", but rather when found, they will retroactively flag anyone who upvoted it instead of reporting it. But the problem is that the content often doesn't get flagged/deleted until it gets to the top of the subreddit. This is the problem they are trying to fix with this change.
That's correct. In most cases React is used with client side tools `webpack`, `create-react-app` etc and all of these depend on Babel.

There is a Babel Standalone file that works when used directly on a page but it's huge 1.5 MB of JS so and it takes many seconds to process.

The `jsxLoader.js` file I created uses Babel Standalone for old browsers (IE 11) and then for modern browsers it transforms JSX to JS very quickly without the need for Babel.
I wonder if any proponents of deplatforming can comment on the parent's point.

edit: why downvote this? I think the parent makes an important point. Is the goal of deplatforming to herd members into their own fortified echo chambers?
It gets worse. Many service workers in the US do not have sick leave or insurance. If you work in a restaurant, you can legally be fired without notice for taking off a shift to go to the doctor. Then, several states have virtually no tenant protection laws, so the landlord can start legal eviction proceedings just a few days after missing a single payment.
What prevented them to use free certificate before? StartTLS and WoSign issued free certificates for years before letsencrypt was a thing. And it was much easier than setting up letsencrypt if you ask me.
Hubei is ground zero. China has locked the province down and other provinces are doing better than South Korea, Italy or Iran at this point. The ban was justified weeks ago - less so now.

Why is South Korea, etc. not under similar travel restrictions?
How can you own data that is submitted to a site you don't own? Or do users submit to hacker news through your site?
This is incredibly disturbing, in light of the fact Reddit's CEO was once caught secretly editing[1] the comments of The Donald's users. Can't assume this is being done in good faith as the comments leading The Donald to be quarantined could be edits, or shill accounts.

I'm sure someone will say "their website, their rules" but in that case it's better to just ban it entirely instead of engaging in subversive practices. This is the equivalent of China buying a United States forum in order to shape political opinion...oh wait[2]

Nasrudith - I suppose I should caveat all this and say that I sincerely appreciate the thoughtful response to my query. Thank you for the civil discourse. That stated - this point about "instead of anything actually productive" - the issue there is, I can only do what I can do. That is, I can vote in ways I think are good for the planet. I can choose products with minimal packaging. I can compost and use my metal straws and reusable shopping bags. BUT, I can't make the US agree to the Paris agreement and I am not an executive at an energy company or what have you. Thus, each of us can only do our small part. Is that signaling? Well yes, it signals that I'm trying.

There is much more content than people. To the extent that a platform engages in policing thought, people will always be a much cheaper enforcement target than content.
lol piss off
In the end, the reddit admins aren't responsible for moderating whatsapp. Replacing TD moderators isn't a solution to end white nationalism, it's just about policing a forum which consistently flaunts site rules. If those people want to build their own site, with blackjack and hookers, they're more than welcome to. I mean, that's where Voat came from.
You could also check out https://render.com/ . I personally prefer it to heroku and they have amazing support for containers as well. It kind of gives you the advantages of both IaaS and PaaS at the same time
I agree that definition matters. I don't think we are really significantly closer to AGI than we were 20 years ago, but we've definitely demonstrated "greater chess intelligence. etc." in particular sorts of constrained domains.
Chip Design Is Getting Squishy
A good UI can only ever have a limited number of discoverable actions. You can try to make a button for everything, but no one is going to try all the buttons, much less remember what they mean.

So you have to pick which actions are most important, and make those easy to discover. QuickLook is a wholly essential feature. So is navigating up a level—it's very useful in some instances, but the back button does the same thing 90% of the time.

For the rest, what matters most is that the actions are never activated accidentally†. This last point is, IMO, where iPadOS fails the most.

*

However: it is worth noting how far the Mac has fallen in the past decade. Snow Leopard had persistent scrollbars, that were big and blue so you couldn't miss them. Finder's toolbar had a button for activating QuickLook. And of course, the notification center didn't exist yet.

There's a pattern behind all these changes. Scrollbars were modified to match iOS. The QuickLook icon was removed to make room for a share button that mimics iOS. The design of notification center was basically ripped from iOS wholesale.

So yes, I agree that iOS has UI problems.

——————————

† Unless the user can instantly parse how they accidentally triggered the action. If you can turn the accident into a learning experience, that's fantastic.

‡ It's still there, but disabled by default. So in terms of discoverability, it might as well not exist.
can they do the same for r/bitcoin
Well, I don’t follow this that closely, but I do sort of follow, and it’s still not clear exactly what rules they were actually breaking: after all, Reddit doesn’t have that many. No illegal content, no real names, and no “group voting” (did I miss any)? Have the mods actually engaged in any of that? This seems to me to be very selective rule enforcement; every time I’ve looked through t_d, all I ever saw was silly pro-trump and anti-democrat pictures.
If the certificate wasn't submitted to an otherwise trustworthy CT log server then there's no way to provide an SCT ("Signed Certificate Timestamp") for a qualified CT log server. Some browsers (including Chrome and Safari) expect to be shown qualified SCTs for certificates issued after a certain date.

The SCT is signed by the log, so if you want them to lie you'd need to control enough logs to get enough qualified SCTs. Bad news, for Chrome that means it must include a Google log, which means now you're asking Google to conspire against themselves.

For now you could sidestep this by issuing bogus certificates with back-dated issuance dates. But that will stop working once those dates are too long ago for a certificate to still be valid. I think that happens some point later this year or in 2021 maybe? If you show Chrome (perhaps other browsers but I've read the code in Chrome) a certificate in which the lifespan (between NotBefore and NotAfter) exceeds the maximum permissible lifespan at that issuance date, it treats the certificate as invalid anyway.
By April, the new American study on using an existing antiviral drug against Coronavirus should have produced results. So with a bit of luck, they'll have a known good treatment method by then.
> They're worried about false negatives,

Could you explain this logic a little more? Unless the false negative is something very high (do we know what it is?), I don't understand why identifying none is better than identifying some some, especially with an exponential spread.
I took one for the team and looked it up to confirm. I can report that yes, it’s exactly what you think it is.
I think I understand part of the problem. Many "literate programs" aren't literate in Knuth's sense. they are merely inversions of the conventional model. Where text is the default and code is the special case that has to be demarcated. Things like literate markdown I've seen which typically read like a regular program with extra text:

# A Literate Program
This is a literate program, the language is C. We'll
begin with the includes because that's what C has at
the start of every C file, and not because it makes
any sense for the presentation:
```
#include <stdio.h>
...
```

Here are the declarations, you can ignore these for
now.
```
int main();
double square(double x);
```

Now that that's out of the way, ...

If that's all most people see then they haven't actually seen the benefit of LP. Where you can push that boilerplate stuff to an appendix so no one has to see it unless they're changing the libraries used by the system or some other thing that's important, but less essential to the understanding that LP tries to promote.
So, Trump memes are now fascism? Are we going to be surprised (again) when he wins again?
Reddit is a private enterprise and enforces its own rules for conduct across all communities and the_donald has routinely broken those roles as have the moderators. You don't have free speech on a private platform nor is there any democratic mandate to how Reddit must operate.
I'm not asserting that couch is unsecure, I need such database but the problem that I can't see any resource that could help me design secure production system.

You can check even trivial rails blog or todo example from some book and it will be limited in scope but more or less secure. I'm having hard time to find secure couchdb example.

> Security for all systems is non trivial.
But not equally hard.

If you use firebase you should understand that you getting vendor lock-in and in some cases you can spend much more money, but for some types of projects this platform is ok for me.

Same with couchdb, I understand that if I get replication with client, I need to pay by reorganising data or may be spend more resources to make system secure. There is no free lunch.

Its too early to add more "Mickey Mouse math" to "food stuff" waste, but humanity will need to figure out the math/processes to a self-sustaining food supply for space exploration and habitation, so the authors timing couldn't be better.

Humanity has a valid excuse to cord-cut from much of the 20th century AG and water systems and see what combination of solutions that automation, more time (fewer jerbs) and scientific leaps bring to the table in the way of working models.

Even if we don't get to explore space, we should at least get to see the quality of ingredients go up exponential as we start eating more "fresh off the vine" food in our daily meals as a byproduct of the research.

If they can get the angle right and ride the coat-tails of space expansion, they'll cut thru decades of red-tape to bypass the existing infrastructure and entrenched investors to clear a path for sustainable agriculture research.
The night the world almost almost ended
it wasn't meant to be literal. '2 decades back' as a metaphor. hooks after all are just closures. so yeah I understand them. but that's not the problem. the issue is having two competing ways of doing things. look at rails they standardized the way of doing things way back and they haven't changed. & hence why a lot of rails people are productive
Just curious how one would know if it was the 'right' solution without having tried other solutions?

I find it hard to believe that any business would not benefit from moving from an ancient computer system to one with error validations and better tooling so that their boots on the ground can make less mistakes. Forget the cost of transitioning since at scale that's a whole executive job function, but purely from a day-to-day I don't understand how what you said can be true.
Well done, it's a neat idea and if the service can provide a measurable improvement I think it's worthwhile to pursue further.

Seeing the service in action would really help both technical and non-technical audiences, I need to know it's not going to be a liability and my clients would want to see pretty colours / improvements.

Something like "before.pep.dev" and "after.pep.dev" would be great.

> “We’ve been running a research project over last year, and when someone relatively famous gets no platformed by Facebook or Twitter or YouTube, there's an initial flashpoint, where some of their audience will move with them” Joan Donovan, Data and Society’s platform accountability research lead, told me on the phone, “but generally the falloff is pretty significant and they don’t gain the same amplification power they had prior to the moment they were taken off these bigger platforms.”

> There’s not a ton of research on this, but the work that has been done so far is promising. A study published by researchers at Georgia Tech last year found that banning the platform's most toxic subreddits resulted in less hate speech elsewhere on the site, and especially from the people who were active on those subreddits.

After he lost his Fox News show, Glenn Beck couldn’t sustain his influence—The Blaze reaches only a fraction of the people he used to.

His general prominence in public discourse has waned ever since.
Yes, actually. Being exposed to a bad idea once doesn't confer eternal immunity. Periodic exposure is the price for real immunity.

Beyond that, hardly anything can make a bad idea more attractive than telling people that it's been dismissed by their betters long ago and should no longer be discussed.

This is a bad take. I don't follow the_donald or its memes. I'm saying that if you build a community that is committed to breaking the rules of reddit it's going to get banned. You can insert knitting for fascism. It's the same across the board.
I think the metrics actually show that most users don't use extensions. But of the group that do use extensions, I'd guess an adblocker is the top one.
Whatever one's personal views, selective enforcement has been used as a stick with which to beat certain groups and should concern everyone, even if–perhaps especially if–you aren't a member of the group being beaten at the moment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_enforcement
It is literally punishing people for liking something they don't like. This used to be a meme on forums of when someone was complaining about people liking something in a thread about discussing said thing.
becomes more established it's relationship with sellers inevitably turns adversarial.

It is not just the market places though, isn't it? Twitter used developers to grow (generous API limits) then cut them off, tumblr used erotica to grow then started restricting, google allowed certain ads at the beginning then added restrictions... and so on.

How much regulation can you put in place for such behavior? Also regulation is expensive, selective and can be rolled back when the next gov comes along.

Would be nice to have some kind of decentralized solution for this...
the_donald is not the subreddit of a presidential candidate.
buses outside of London are (mainly) massively overpriced and horrifically irregular - it's a problem we need to fix right now imo
YC was immensely helpful for us in a lot of ways. Definitely happy to go into more detail offline but two things I really liked were that there are so many companies in the healthcare space now that have come out of YC and regulation is a hugely scary aspect of the field and getting advice from them on how to navigate many things saved me so much time and headache. YC also very much redefined how I personally think about an MVP and it's usually a lot more minimal than I initially realise. As the community grows bigger, a lot of this will become even better. I almost wish we were slightly further along when we started as a lot of the prolems that companies in our batch were facing are starting to affect us now that we're not in set-up mode. The key thing for me is that we have to make sure we do right by patients above all and I have to integrate that with all of the other advice that sometimes conflicted in my head.
It looks like they've moved to https://thedonald.win/ - I wonder if they're using a fork of reddit's old source code. The site feels like a subreddit.
I do not own it in a legal/licensed sense, I own the bytes that are stored in my database. As it it is easily queryable by me, where it wouldn't normally be if only using the API.

I am continually amazed at how many people believe that "free speech" applies to anything other than the government.

No government agency is allowed to impede free speech (with a handful of exceptions). This rule does not apply to any other organization.
Yep. To be fair, you really need to combine it with a good ticketing system to get that effect.

The comments here comparing the_donald to fascism.

its a subreddit for people who support the democratically elected President of the US. Its not extreme its just shit posting and funny memes.
I think that text is out of date. I've been monitoring that page, and the numbers have been updating every Mon,Wed,Fri as it states.
It's ironic that this publication is ostensibly anti-censorship. One of the few things I know about this subreddit is how quick they were to delete posts and ban commenters that didn't fit in with their worldview.
They just mean they crawl HN and maintain/mirror their own database of its content.
HN is actually surprisingly pro-Trump. I have been shocked at the broad support for economic nationalism (trade protectionism, etc.) from HN participants, as well as the chorus of agreement with Trump's anti-China stance.
This article [1] says they announced it today.

I'm excited to see the fallout on this decision.

Meh. You're blowing this out of proportion.

>in light of the fact Reddit's CEO was once caught secretly editing

Again, you're making this seem more nefarious than it actually was. He did it because he thought it would be appreciated (obviously he was wrong). In the end, it was a dumb and immature move from a young, rookie CEO ... on a social network site (i.e. not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things)

I don't really see this action by Reddit to be newsworthy at all. There are a lot of subreddits that straddle the line of being banned. The_Donald is certainly one of those communities.
I don't think that fill transactions from CLI will work for me. There are a few cons that I found in features:

- don't have family sharing

- didn't find a mobile app

- budgeting

Did I miss something?
Go and start you own website, create a sub-page for /r/president_warren and fill it with gay porn. It's not a democratic issue. It's also worth noting, /r/the_donald isn't and has never been controlled by actual people associated with the Trump campaign so to describe it as "the subreddit of a presidential candidate" is frankly just incorrect. It's a sub-reddit for supporters of a candidate, and those users happen to also be repeat offenders under the site-wide policies.
