Digging through that thread the poor OP was grossly negligent in more than a few ways:

- Set up this company task under his own AWS account, with his OWN credit card.

- Saw the first bill at ~9000 USD had failed to process and deleted the email from amazon...

------

It seems AWS is letting him off the hook though, as probably no real resources were consumed, and he was able to show it was not intentional.

But "Junior" is phrasing it lightly.
It is a civil lawsuit and it sure is material as far as quantifying damages is concerned. But why speculate when we can just wait and see the outcome.

Again, I agree that your post above might serve as an avenue to claim some damages that a judge would agree to, but to say stock price today is immaterial is just plain wrong. If the stock price had dropped to $100 today, it would have been likely that all shareholders could make a valid argument to a claim, but now at the very least one has to demonstrate that they were a shareholder at the time of the tweet, and they have taken a certain action that hurt them based on that tweet.

When Pandemic Ends
I want people to be more open about their investments, as it's something that we're all left to do on our own or pay far too much for financial advisors to tell us things a friend probably already knows.

I first made this because I had investments across equities, crypto, and equity crowdfunding campaigns, and it was a pain to log into each different platform to see how they were doing. Excel is bad at tracking the values over time, so as a software developer and a chartered financial analyst, I decided to make it myself.

By sharing what you are buying or selling publicly (but you don't have to share the amounts), it also allows you to peek over the fence and look at the portfolios of other people - a curiosity many of us have but are too polite to ask in real life.

I've just implemented automatic dividend tracking of US stocks, and in the future want to integrate with investment platforms to automatically add all transactions.

Once you're signed up, we can add your existing investments to the platform to make it as easy as possible to get set up.

Any and all feedback is welcome!
In Italy the lockdown was very strict and going outdoors was severely limited to short walks in immediate vicinity (e.g. 200m) of your domicile. For Spain I heard rumors that it was even worse (with people walking with fake dogs, because you need a canine excuse to get out in the first place).

this is not a feature I have ever missed, and I wonder why you would miss it? I move the task I am working on into in progress and when I am done with it I move it into review or done. If I scheduled my day based on tasks, then when task A was not moved from in progress and task B is scheduled to start what happens? It sounds to me like it would be more problematic - sorry to go on about it but I really am wondering because I've never considered I would want to schedule tasks on a kanban board - how do you see it working?

As a paid subscriber of several digital-only newspapers, I only want them to publish their news as publicly as possible, so I and others can know better. Walls don't help.

When we stop pretending that the news must be rarified to be of value, then we may start supporting actual journalism for what it does best: investigate and publish, instead of sell the news as a product. So as the readers, we should support them, not buy them.

I specifically wrote "/conditions" to predict that specific rebuttal.

The virus could be the same, the opportunistic additional virus/bacteria could be different.

just like HIV causes no symptoms, until your immune system is down and a different infection (caused by bacteria or virus) kills you. Maybe even a normal "gut" bacteria, or something in your body usually present, is what kills you.

There is research pointing to Sars-Cov-2 attacking T cells directly. Instant AIDS.

In the fall and early winter, there could have been different variables that made it less debilitating and deadly than the spring variables. And in that case the fall and early winter deaths and pneumonia would have blended in to normal distribution.

Continuing on your line of thought, and being a bit pedantic, the title says missing from the internet, but it looks more like missing from websites.

There is a lot of internet interaction that happens privately/semi-privately in chat applications like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, LINE, etc.

From my limited personal experience, communities who speak and are able to write in minority languages continue to do so in their communication via these apps even though they may have a small appearance on public websites. Of course, for communities that do no have a written form for their language or very few know it, then this is less likely the case.

Because it is stupid. If you can't afford it, do not lease or rent it. That way you have less money.

And you can live without a car, it is about structuring your life better.
Three reasons: You sit much closer to a computer screen compared to a TV, so your peripheral vision has a better chance with the computer screen to see flicker. Computer CRTs supported higher refresh rates, so they used phosphors with shorter afterglow (otherwise you'd get ghosting/S&H-like artifacts like TFTs produce). You can notice this one when you photograph a computer CRT vs. photographing a TV with the same shutter speed. And at the end of CRT TVs a lot of them were 100 Hz.

I agree with you, but ... Vast majority of people don't have enough money or free time that they can "restructure" their life around not having a car, which would involve a house move at least. At the same time they are bombarded by advertising for easy car loans, and feel they have to compete against friends and neighbours with possessions which they cannot afford. They take the easy (and apparently state-sanctioned) way out.

Vast majority of people will have no desire or time to "send a PR" after seeing it for the first time. And those who will be inclined to do that don't need a public reminder to that effect.

This fails my very first test of anything canvasy: it’s not scaling by devicePixelRatio, so it looks bad on a high-DPI display, especially if text is involved. I usually find this to be a bad sign.

This puzzled me, because it mostly looks very good (even if it rather encourages CPU-guzzling). Have you just never had access to a high-DPI environment and thus never thought about it? Anyway, this one should be very quick to fix.

Accessibility: yeah, you can tab between the links, which is good, but when you’re just hovering you’re not hovering over a real link, so you can’t see the link target, the cursor is wrong (though one that could be fixed), and modifiers don’t work. Right-click triggers the “links” too, which it shouldn’t. Things like this must be handled by drawing real DOM elements persistently on top of the canvas, and letting the user genuinely interact with them. No other approach is capable of achieving the expected and desired result. Not `location.href = …`, not `open(…)`, not `link.click()`. Nothing.

One straightforward (but inferior) approach to make this work could be to put an <a tabindex=-1> above the entire canvas (or even wrapping the canvas!) and set its href when hovering a “link”, and remove it again when not.

I haven’t delved into any more of the accessibility stuff, but it looks much better than most, and just needs to work on any real DOM counterparts to canvas pieces actually being in the right place, so that interactions, text selection, &c. can work properly.

100% agree. I had hopes for the 5.4" iPhone 12 changing this trend by being a high end device with a close to OG iPhone SE size. But it now looks like it will not be given the "Pro" title after all, and will instead be the budget option. I hate that "small" has become synonymous with "budget" in the eyes of the manufacturers.
I feel in good company. Here I thought I was the only one who longed-for the smaller iphone.
>As far as I understand it, it was commonly believed that poor people aren’t capable of handling money and therefore should only get food, not money.

Do you know that the most educated people in the country are working hard to make poor people buy stuff they don't need? Who is actually running the advertising business and using the best technology ever invented to increase their profit at all cost? Who's to blame? Maybe be should just stop pushing people under stress to do stupid things and provide them with the best resources to fulfill their need. Money is an excellent medium for that when the game isn't just about blind profits.

While that's certainly holds true for some metro areas, it's certainly not a rule for sprawling US cities built for cars. Opting out of car ownership limits your employment options, social mobility, and so on.
But mainly because there are no viable alternatives that are available in multiple platforms, cost less or the same than Word, and do things significantly better.

InDesign is infinitely better for typesetting, but you're the learning curve to get something presentable is higher than LaTeX, because you have to know design, and more expensive than Word.

LyX is the only tool that comes close to replacing Word. It's free, significantly better typesetting, easy to use, and available in most platforms.
Json schema does scale down pretty well (indeed as the link above shows the simplest possible Json schema is just "{}") - it also has pretty good tool support (e.g. VS Code) - there is a Json schema for Json schemas which helps a lot.

The main advantage of the approach in the article appears to be that its easy to extend validation with code - which is a nice touch. Pretty much any complex Json validation I have written has to combine both schema based validation and code based checks - usually done completely separately.
I've cleared it out a few times, but I think stuff in there's gotten damaged now. It's a slight inconvenience when my headphones aren't charged or I can't use them, but again as anecdata, losing the headphone jack having one in the device hasn't exactly changed my world.

>Because in spite of having made a turn towards open source, Microsoft once treated it like a mortal enemy, akin to cancer?

MS was in the business of selling operating systems and desktop software. Not only they realized that open source doesn't threaten that territory (remember year of the Linux desktop?), but they've changed the revenue model and are making much more money now from selling services than by selling software.

>Because of how other large companies like Google have smothered open source projects?

Why should we judge what one company does based on what other company does?

I am sure no company does something for "good of humanity" but to earn money. What matters is if in the process of making money, they also do good things or bad things.

Microsoft has stopped doing bad things and started doing good things. I only hope more companies will follow.

A language carries a history, a culture, a literature (not necessarily written!) and an identity. Abandoning a minority language abandons those.

It's very easy for native English speakers to say English should be the only language because it has only upsides for them, and they need not give up anything, and they have never been coerced into using it. Whereas I suspect 99% of people who say things like "we don't need UTF-8, the world can be ASCII-only" would go absolutely bananas if they woke up tomorrow and found that HN was now a mandatory-Mandarin forum.

Some minority languages were actively suppressed during the colonialism of the 19th and 20th centuries. It was part of the point of the "residential schools" system of Canada, Australia and elsewhere: take children away from their parents and beat their language out of them.

A few languages have managed to go from repressed to national language status: Irish, Hebrew, probably others.
