>Canadian salaries are pretty awful,

Y'know, for years I heard this same basic story about everywhere in Europe too, IE: the money is no good. As I age though... money really isn't everything... if you can make enough to pay your bills and have a quality life, I'd take that over the rat race of the US. When the kids are raised here, my partner and I aren't likely to stick around, so I am watching this thread with great interest as well. And hoping all of you fleeing places of persecution make it safely to better places.

The "Trump personality cult" that I see most often is the one you practice. Kind of a "reverse cult", where you are so focused on "not following" a person that it hinders rational thought.

Why not? I know a lot of people who read and watch stuff that Bill Gates or Gwyneth Paltrow recommends. He's a celebrity. Other people have different celebrities. If you look up to a person, it's only natural to be interested in what they are interested in. People on HN think they are too good to care about celebrities, but we all know that's a total lie.
Exactly. That's the key section of the article. Tough to defend that

I believe that you and root_axis (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23331051) confusion arises from the lack of understanding of how Section 230 applies.

From your own quoted source:

"A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:

1. [...]

2. [...]

3. The information must be "provided by another information content provider," i.e., the defendant must not be the "information content provider" of the harmful information at issue."

The moment you create your own content (even if you are a content provider yourself) you lose the protection of Section 230 over that. Editing/policing content is, in most cases, akin to creating content. You cannot make a list of "staff picks" and then claim that the content comes from other sources. Putting that list together (even if you're just quoting somebody else) is equivalent to an action of creation, you are the creator of that list. You chose what to put in it and what to exclude. You ARE the original creator of this and Section 230 does not apply for you.
I'm not sure what problem that would solve.

Our problems stem from the fact that Gatsby's architecture is based around assembling an in-memory model and GraphQL schema for all possible data nodes, and then generating pages by querying from that store.

These operations are dependent on each other, so Gatsby can't do things like fetch just the data needed for a single page. It's also error prone because it adds a whole bunch of complexity to everything they do: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-internals/

That kind of complexity is not needed for something that is inherently a pretty simple problem.
https://www.thestandard.com.hk/section-news/section/2/210388... The sceptic in me thinks there is more than meets the eye here.
We use Gatsby for our landing[0] (and are also in the process of moving the main SaaS dashboard to it) and the experience has been nothing but amazing. Page loads almost instantly with little manual optimization required and compile time rendering makes deployment really simple - unlike Next.js you do not have to fiddle with production SSR using serverless functions or a separate node server. The only issue with Gatsby is that compile-time SSR errors are not exposed during normal development live reload so everything needs to be compiled twice, once for development and once to test that the production build can be generated without error.

You just search for and find any reddit thread, and it is absolutely just as shittastic in any browser (I am using Safari on iOS).

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/gadgets/commen...

This page is simultaneously encased by AMP, has multiple ways reddit is trying to get me to install an app that isn't going to help me right now as I am hopping between websites--I am going to glance at reddit for ten seconds and then a stackoverflow question and then a bugzilla issue and then a quora thread... the last thing I want right now is to end up in some app--but it also doesn't show me all the comments and is asking me to click through to get them... it used to be I clicked a search result and it showed me the reddit thread, with all the comments and without an app: I liked that :(.
I don't understand why Reddit specifically puts up with AMP.

They already have a "good" mobile site. The AMP pages break reddit results and result in the constant annoyance of having to dismiss "Open in App?" banners both in the AMP view and on the mobile site. Everyone hates the AMP page. Why keep it? You already invested a ton of resources in the fast/nice mobile app...

> Gatsby says it aims to be the platform behind 1% of websites by 2024; it claims it currently supports 0.1%.

I find it really hard to believe that they're powering 0.1% of the web at this point, that's gotta be millions of sites. The only way that figure is accurate is if they're counting all of the people spinning up tutorial sites.
> I would much rather: order directly from the store, have the store pack everything up, express pick it up from the store, and have a confirmation expected=actual for the order.

My store (Kroger) does exactly this, and I've been very pleased with the service once they worked out the kinks in the first few weeks of quarantine.

As someone who has set up many SMTP servers even on very new domain names. Yhe only issue I've actually come across is outlook.com who happily will whitelist if you poke them via their support once you you have dkim and spf set up.

Just check your IP's before your set up your network so they have a heads up that someone will be on the other end of any complaints.

As the other commenter noted Joplin is a desktop application that syncs (over E2EE) if you like to other machines via gdrive/dropbox/nextcloud etc.

I was using it via nextcloud and it worked perfectly for what it was. The web clipper also did a great job of snatching simplified versions of web pages.

What killed it for me was just my expanding desires. I want to things like

- view my knowledge base from my work machine without downloading the whole knowledge base to it.
- Be able to search my notes AND all the books i've read. I tried using pandoc to go epub to md but it was too clunky and the searchability within notes wasn't great.

If I was still using it as a drop in replacement for evernote I think it would be great, but to go beyond that starts to stretch the seams a bit.

I was surprised to see Gab as a top reply to one of his tweets. Gab has a verified Twitter account, and it was offering itself as an alternative to the 'censorship'.

I like Netlify but I suspect it's much easier for Gatsby and Next to add Netlify-like functionality to their offerings than the reverse. I suspect one is unlikely to need both (Gatsby SaaS or Next SaaS) and (Netlify SaaS), which doesn't bode well for Netlify.
Hey Paul, nice to see on you HN. How likely do you think it is that China is the origin of the mice? Doubly so these mice being brought over during the closed country policy of Japan era.
I agree with the points you made.

The issues I've personally experienced have been with impact, for bugs outside of the very traditional XSS/SQLI/RCE. I've gotten things along the lines of "yes, our _______ is seriously broken, but it's not/barely a security issue," with an explanation that stretches plausibility. Maybe I'm full of crap, maybe they are.

I'm sure those running bounty programs would have all sorts of folks contesting things that aren't actually real bugs. I think the only real good solution is increased visibility on all sides. That way each of our technical arguments can stand on their merits, whoever is full of crap can get called on it, and others looking for bugs can choose where to invest their time (glossing over that solution missing a bunch of thorny implementation details, I'm sure).

There's nothing to reconcile. A social media website is not at all like a government, I don't see what the laws in Europe have to do with that.
Exactly. For Reddit the AMP version and the mobile site look almost exactly the same... except the AMP site performs worse due to the AMP restrictions.

So none of the "nice" Reddit mobile site features actually work, and supposed "one-time" annoyances like the "Download the App" pop-up don't get cookied under AMP and continue to annoy on every google search. Insane!

> Do we really? I don't keep up with the news, did we already dismiss those reports about re-infection? Does it last long enough to be globally useful?

It seems to be extremely rare, and it's hard to know how many of those cases are due to incorrect initial diagnosis or people with odd immune systems. Immunity seems to be much greater than that conveyed by vaccines (which protect 85-95% of recipients).

> The main risk, sure, but the volunteer will become infectious. Vaccines constrain the risk to volunteers a lot better.

In vaccine challenge trials, people are exposed to the virus and kept quarantined until after the incubation period. Those who aren't protected by the vaccine must remain quarantined until their immune system defeats the disease. It would be the same for deliberate infection. Volunteers wouldn't be allowed to leave until the virus is no longer detectable. Hanson makes this clear in his blog post (linked to at the top of this thread).

That said, most vaccine trials are not challenge trials. Researchers give patients the vaccine and wait a while to see how many of them naturally contract the disease. During that time, the patients may or may not have immunity and can potentially infect others.
Exactly this. As a feature, social media platforms should automatically look up the canonical URL for a linked page.
This looks like a nice language with lots of cool features. I especially like the attempts at GPU and off-heap integration.

However I feel like at least the landing page dodges a lot of hard questions. For example the biggest reason anyone should want to write a concurrent program over a synchronous single-threaded one is performance, so talking about how your features are implemented efficiently is important. Specific examples:

Having my isolates semantically copy all their inputs sure might avoid race conditions, but I hope that there's some fancy copy-on-write and sub-slicing stuff going on so that if I spawn 10 threads to process 10 parts of my array I don't make 10 copies of the whole array. For GPU support I want to

The off-heap support mentions "all objects are quickly serializable and deserializable to and from this format by default". Anyone can claim "quickly", I want to know exactly how efficient this serialization is. Does it use zero-copy casting with some patching? Is it just a memcpy to the GC heap? Does each type get code-generated serializers/deserializers or maybe it's done with reflection? Whether this feature is useful entirely depends on exactly how fast this serialization is.

How does the remote code execution transmit code? Do I need to make sure that my work units are big enough that every remote JVM can warm up and JIT transmitted bytecode? Is there caching so I don't transmit the standard library every time?
Don't strawman.

We literally have agencies that enforce degrees of truthfulness today, such as the FDA, FCC, and FTC. Our legal system is explicitly designed around determining degrees of truth in the courts.

Might not be an apples to apples comparison, but Costco vs Amazon is the example I tend to use for curation vs SEO.

It sounds like the solution was always left as an exercise for the reader in the day-to-day dealings of the group even among the members: "Each participating country was supposed to perform its own decryptions.

and
"The cryptanalytical part of the cooperation involved exchanges of algorithms used in various (deliberately weakened) cryptographic devices used by target countries. It was then left up to the Maximator participants themselves to find out how to exploit weaknesses in the algorithms of these devices. Such exploitations are also called ‘solutions’."
