That's because the UK kidnapped the entirety of hong kong.

> On exploitation, in 1945 Hong Kong was bombed out rubble

Isn't that because that's where the colonizing brits were? You know the ones the japanese wanted to remove from asia?

> and in 1997 it was a first world city that had a higher GDP per capita than the United Kingdom.

The rise of Hong Kong's GDP entirely tracks the opening of china. Meaning the UK had nothing to do with hong kong's rise.

Also, it's a joke to compare a city ( hong kong ) to a country ( UK ). I see it done too many times in traditional and social media. Hong kong's GDP per capita is lower than london's. Using your logic, does it make that an exploitation?

Flash loans are one example. These are zero-collateral, low-fee loans that are paid back at the end of the transaction. If the loan fails to be paid back, the whole transaction that made it unwinds, which means the risk to the lender is zero despite the possibility of loans being millions of times greater than the borrower's assets.

They've been used mostly for questionable purposes (largely exploiting oracle attacks on poorly-written DEXes), but there's something very interesting about completely removing capital availability from the constraints on a market participant. It means any arbitrage opportunity can be exploited by anyone, regardless of how much it needs to be levered up to be worthwhile, and so basically democratizes financial profiteering.

The president is the most visible face of the government. Of all the ones you mentioned, it's the only one people actually vote for. What he says and does has the most impact. So I don't find it "interesting", I find it entirely reasonable.
Well, that largely depends on the subreddit and the context.

Always read the wiki before posting. When in doubt, ask moderators if they're OK with self-promotion.

I've been wondering about Mew and this tongue position thing for a while. I've been keeping mine on the roof of my mouth for well over a decade now, after getting scolded by a martial arts instructor for failing to do so naturally. But from what I understand, it's usually the lower half of the jaw that's too small. Mandibular advancement is sometimes done to treat sleep apnea. But if anything, keeping your tongue on the roof would expand the upper half, not the lower?
> He's not moving anywhere...

If they're going to block his tweets, why wouldn't Trump go elsewhere? It'll be interesting to see what he does do next.
As someone who also started in the 90's I think I understand what you mean. It used to be: write HTML -> upload via FTP -> done.

Therefore I think you should start with PHP. Write PHP -> upload -> done.

If PHP is unpopular advice, maybe this is even more unpopular: you might want to check out the ProcessWire CMS. Yes, this is a CMS, but since the front-end and back-end are separated it can be used as framework for a lot of things. It has a lot of (free) addons, like support for Twig, making developing even complex systems very simple.

And ofcourse you can use frameworks like Symfony and Laravel.

But to get rid of the rocket science I believe PHP is the way to go because it makes deployments so much easier.

And if the time comes your product is a success you can always hire rocket scientists who can help you to move on.
> It doesn't unequivocally say that at all. It can reasonably be interpreted as: "once people are willing to break the law and start looting, it's not long before there are also people shooting"

This is not a reasonable interpretation of the president's words. The previous tweet said that the military is standing by. There can be no mistake: Trump is saying that he will order the US military to kill Americans.
In the US, Congress must explicitly delegate rulemaking powers to an executive agency. Absent such delegation, they cannot issue rules that would change the execution or implementation of the relevant statute. (Rules in this context are federal agency interpretations defining or implementing statutes passed by Congress.)

It appears that Congress did not delegate to the FCC the power to make rules under/implementing the CDA, so regardless of Trump's order, the FCC can do precisely diddly squat about changing the rules of the CDA.

That would force them to stop complaining, and there is a lot of value, and money to be made, in whining all the time and playing the victim constantly. So it won't happen.

Maybe a statement that we can all agree on would be: _selectively_ fact checking implies picking sides?

People in the United States do not vote for a president. They vote for an elector who in turn will vote for the president. This is an important and often left out detail in how the American political system works, in theory it could have protected us from the current dumpster fire.
This is using past violence as a threat of imminent violence while the other accounts you mentioned will generally reference violence indirectly or in the past tense. That is an important distinction.

It is explained in the article how it works:

"This will implicitly tell the browser to load the CSS file in a non-blocking fashion, applying the styles only to the print context. However, the moment the file arrives, we tell the browser to apply it to all contexts, thus styling the rest of the page."

The browser ignores the file because it's just for print and can be loaded later on. But when the page is fully loaded (onload="..."), the media property is set to "all" and does not stay at "print". When this happens, the browser now knows it should load it as soon as possible and does so.

As you mentioned: if JS is disabled, the file will never load. The author states that his solution is not 100% perfect: "[Async webfonts] should always be considered an enhancement anyway, so we need to be able to cope without them; we can and should design decent fallbacks for use during their absence, and;"
Or worse, in terms of discourse. I suppose twitter is awful for something as complex as political debate, but removing an entire half of a political spectrum would only serve to further divide our country, something which the real demagogues of the world would love to capitalize on.
Interesting, so by making dependencies in the code itself, which is more obtuse than using node modules, we might see fewer overall packages being used by developers, and more implementations from scratch. No more gigabyte sized node modules! I'm looking forward to this.
If you mean Apache License then,

The original Apache license was similar to the Berkeley license, but source code published under version 2 of the Apache license is subject to additional restrictions and cannot be included into OpenBSD. In particular, if you use code under the Apache 2 license, some of your rights will terminate if you claim in court that the code violates a patent.

A license can only be considered fully permissive if it allows use by anyone for all the future without giving up any of their rights. If there are conditions that might terminate any rights in the future, or if you have to give up a right that you would otherwise have, even if exercising that right could reasonably be regarded as morally objectionable, the code is not free.

In addition, the clause about the patent license is problematic because a patent license cannot be granted under Copyright law, but only under contract law, which drags the whole license into the domain of contract law. But while Copyright law is somewhat standardized by international agreements, contract law differs wildly among jurisdictions. So what the license means in different jurisdictions may vary and is hard to predict.

Opportunity cost is real. That capital could have funded other projects. The engineers could have worked on real research. The marketing team could have been promoting something that mattered.

Yes, this is principally the backers’ loss. But that doesn’t preclude broader costs .
The plan at least is that at little as possible should break. If you do find a problem, please file an issue.
Though after that point even your own code cannot use that permission anymore.

Trump is not half of the political spectrum, he's organized a hostile take-over of a political party that was vulnerable to such take-overs.
It’s not actually that important. In many states it’s illegal for the elector to vote for something other than the popular vote and in the others it’s unheard of to go a different way and it would be made pretty quickly illegal if it happened.

> The reason Russia and China care so much about Ukraine and Taiwan, is because they worry having a functional democracy next door may destabilize their own regimes.

China cared about Taiwan when it was a authoritarian dictatorship for most of its history. I don't think it's a matter of government but a matter of lost territory. Using your logic, the north was worried about the functional democracy of the confederacy.

Even if taiwan adopted communism, it wouldn't matter because it's a matter of territorial integrity. Meaning, it's just as lightly that we'd let south carolina secede than china would allow taiwan to leave.

As for russia, considering that it's a democratic republic, I don't think they are too worried about that. What they are worried about is the geopolitical issues with ukraine - especially foreign interference in ukraine.
I agree with all your observations. But Magic Leap can't be understood as a scummy company in an otherwise healthy industry. There are --so many-- SV startups that raise money on hype they can't possibly deliver on, but VCs and founders get rich anyway.

Couldn’t disagree with this more. Let me share some engineering perspective. Fonts are literally the outlines that allow the vision system to take a 2D shape and convert it to a concept in the limbic system through the semantics of language.

In fact, well engineered fonts are absolutely crucial in any medium, not just electronic. From road signs to tax documents, from web pages to warning labels - fonts are one of the most underrated aspects of graphic design. Why though? Each font has a specific purpose. Mono space fonts are used for things like code and tabulated figures while fonts such as Baskerville excel at prose. There is so much to say, I don’t know what to pick and choose. Honestly, study typography from an engineering take - it is a tool.

Perhaps there is a distaste for gawdy, large and loud typography and all the shenanigans designers do today, but that has nothing to do with why fonts are important.

I think this oversight is highly disappointing because there is bigger fish to fry. Javascript payloads, bloated reactive websites and overall regression in what a great UI should be.
