It reminds of how in China, the CCP keeps around a few minor political parties to maintain the illusion that they aren't running a one party state. Any political parties which threaten the authority of the state are banned. The eight minor parties are like the token conservatives (think people who voted for Evan McMullin to protest Trump). The banned parties are everyone else.
It depends on where you live. 10 states have laws that prohibit or restrict discounts for cash transactions: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas. Some of those restrictions have been invalidated by federal courts, but I was somewhat confused about which states were affected.
Surprisingly HNers are embracing the concept of cyber sovereignty that China and Russia are pushing.
How would you pay for things online, many of which are not available in person? Or stores/airplanes/services that don't accept cash?
It's not government. The same incentive structure for businesses matches better to loyalty cards.
Card != CC. The point is that in EU there's less motivation to use credit cards than in USA because the situation is better for payment cards that are not credit cards. If you refer to Sweden, I believe that the split there is that something like 40% of the cards are credit cards, and the majority are not.

I don't want that notification.
Finally Chinese companies know the feeling of being banned in another country.
This isn’t able notifications, this is about the “do you want to allow notifications” prompts. Crazy how in the same HN community you have people on one post complaining that there are too damn many cookie/gdpr/etc prompts, then on the next post asking for additional notification prompts. What ever happened to going to a website and consuming its content and leaving?

I get that making an app instead of a PWA is a pain the in the ass, but the reason I pay $$$ to Apple is so that pains like that exist in the developer’s ass instead of mine. I want to be in their walled garden and I want them to keep lazy developers and poor UX out.
I think I did. I'm not familiar with ConTeXt. And maybe there are a handful of others I found here [0]: as you can tell, I don't know much about the ecosystem.

Still they all seem to be described as "a system of TeX macros". Is there scope for a language that offers as different an experience to LaTeX as, say, Scala to Java or Clojurescript to Javascript?

> it is a significant national securities threat

come on...
I guess I'm way out of date. I remember hearing that people who ride e.g. PBP run way wider tires than normal road racers because of the road conditions, but I didn't realize that the mainstream road racers were running that wide now.

Also: hookless? Like they got rid of in, like, the '70s or '80s? My beater road bike (that's older than I am) has 630mm hookless rims, and I got a discount because of it.

Are the new ones hell to change tires on? Changing tires on that bike is the most miserable bike maintenance task I've done. And I've done most anything short of a headset or suspension fork rebuild.
100% wrong and quite an insulting accusation. I meant real degeneracy, promoted by fascist Marxists. Bad culture. Promoting self destructive behavior. Looking down on education, the sciences, logic, learning in general. Promoting hatred and division in society. Nice try.
I’m gonna be honest this is difficult to parse.

I’ve lived here for nearly 5 years now, and it sounds like you’re kind of describing Manhattan in the winter nearly any year. I’ll likely do most of the things I’d do anyway, except I’ll be wearing a mask for most of them.

I dunno, I guess I just enjoy my neighborhood and I’m putting a significant portion of my income into savings while still living here so why would I move?
Fortunately Russia can no longer afford to project power into the Western hemisphere any more (beyond token bomber flights and naval freedom of navigation exercises). They struggled just to sustain a tiny expeditionary force in Syria, and the logistics train was much shorter there than Mexico.
> And who better to know about expansionism than Indians? We have been colonized multiple times in the past.

Sure, we can agree that USA's invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was not "colonization" technically, in the 1800s sense of the term.

However, what else would you call all out war, military occupation, hanging the president of the country, etc.? BTW, occupation continues until this day, in both of these nations.

> Manifest Destiny is a cultural thing in the United States. It is not official State policy.

Have you read about the history of the U.S in the 1800s? Manifest Destiny may not have been written into the constitution, but it was absolutely the policy of many leaders of the U.S in that era, and calling it "a cultural thing" actually dumbs down what is an extremely powerful idea behind the forming of the U.S as a nation.

> We have a similar cultural quote in India called "Akhand Bharat" where we wish to go back to the time where Bharat was one territory and not divided into Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.

China has a similar idea with the "One China" rule, and how it basically does not consider Taiwan to be it's own nation. Except, unlike India, it's quite clear than China is willing to invade Taiwan at some point in time (unclear when, but the tensions will never cease).

---

The 1800's style colonization is certainly no longer present, but a variation of it is certainly present, and usually military invasion is not the main tool to achieve domination (however, in the case of Iraq, Afghanistan, it clearly was).
It's more of a US centric opinion. Obviously I can't speak for other countries. However, if you look at the current leadership of the US it is dominated by white males. That's not a statement of superiority. The fact is PoC have gotten a raw deal in the US for decades. They aren't in positions of power due to the effects of long standing racism.

The civil rights movement was barely a generation away.

To be clear, I'm absolutely not saying whites are better than PoC. I'm saying that people in power in the US are typically white and male due to centuries of racism.
It's entirely possible the opening is there because they didn't want to build a completely new back panel

When the tire is inflated, the sidewalls (and the tread area) are under tension, right? (They would just fold up under any appreciable compression.) If so, does that mean there's no downward force from the sidewalls? Perhaps we should be asking if there needs to be extra pressure in the tire to keep the sidewalls under tension?
>In promoting racial discrimination against white people

Not promoting anything of the sort. These are factual observations of history, any student of history feel free to chime in so we can focus on facts over feelings.

>The African peoples are more than the slave trade, more than colonialism.

I agree African history is much more than slavery, but the European invention/export of racist theories/science and the dehumanization of Africans started during the same period (The Renaissance, ~15th-17th century continuing into the 21st century) Africans were enslaved and robbed. This period cannot be ignored in any discussions of the history of racism.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism

"Scientific racism was common during the period from 1600s to the end of World War II. Since the second half of the 20th century, scientific racism has been criticized as obsolete and discredited, yet historically has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views, based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races."

Lisp all the way down...
Far right according to whom? Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector, speaks of ideological subversion or active measures employed by the Soviet Union against enemy countries.

The first step is demoralization, which takes 15-20 years to complete. This is basically the indoctrination phase where the intelligentsia and academics are brainwashed about the virtues of Marxist-Leninist thought, and are trained to despise the existing prevailing system of that country. The 1960s counterculture revolution was the start of the demoralization phase.

The second step is to destabilize the country. This stage usually takes 2-5 years. This step involves attacks on the country’s economic system, foreign relations, and defense.

The third step is crisis, which would only take up to 6 weeks. This step involves a violent change in the economy, power structures, etc.

The final step is normalization, in which the new ideological system supplants the old and becomes the new norm.

I would argue we are almost at the end of stage 3, where Joe Biden will appoint many Marxists to his cabinet. Soon everything capitalist and democratic will be classified as far right, due to the aforementioned ideological subversion.
the MOST SCARY stuff for me is apps that ask for your photos album permissions (so they can save to it, or upload a picture ). This permission basically gives them access to ALL your photos, including your dick pics, even when the app is in the background.

>Maybe we should focus on ideas over identity.

I'm not saying it's a good solution in an absolute sense, nor do I have any idea how well it's working.

I'm just saying I think it's obviously motivated by a real and inescapable issue, and I don't think there is a simple and obviously better solution given the constraint that you want to have an online forum where people can acknowledge and discuss things related to racial identity.
That's helpful, ty!
That might be true, but it isn't as obviously true as you would think. Credit cards payments are not subject to being stolen or lost. Once you have the approval the money will reach your account.

Of course there are other frauds you are vulnerable to. Which is why it isn't clear what is really best
While initial commissioning might be, what projects get investment in marketing to really succeed is much more based on market research, testing and metrics about trailers etc.

Really initial production is only half your production costs, and is a tricky process where what's greenlit often doesn't bear much relation to what comes out the other end. So the market research and metrics work better when you know a bit more about what the final product is.
Not now, but when I was 32 I did for about 2.5 years. Saved up and bought a house after. I don't regret it at all, though I do wish I had been more social during that time (I figured it wasn't worth it as I was only going to stay a year or so originally). It's a great way to save money if you can work remotely.
Because you can frequently avoid account creation, setting a new password etc if you click “sign in with google.” It’s a tradeoff but if you don’t see any value in it you maybe haven’t used it- it’s convenient.

Because I'm trying to quickly compare net income across two businesses that operate under different accounting rules in varied industries but if we want to be pedantic about it and proportionally attribute OpEx to services, too:

Apple services net sales: $13.3B

Apple services cost of sales: ($4.6B)

Apple OpEx, 14%[1]: ($1.3B)

That's ~$7.4 billion in net income from services, which is as close to a 1:1 expression of services' contribution to "operating profit" as you can reasonably get in the five-minute financial analysis I'm willing to perform for an HN comment. For reference, Apple booked $11.25B profit for this quarter overall.

1. Services account for 14% of the total cost of sales, so I attribute the same amount in OpEx.

There was also quite a lot of hijacking of military, corporate, and university bandwidth for Doom. Doom had very chatty, unoptimized netcode (which Quake would later improve upon) and networked Doom was banned outright at many sites for starving legitimate users of bandwidth.
The nature of "other" platforms means that example code could be in any language at all.

The fact that their iOS documentation is so much better than average doesn't mean their "other platforms" documentation is inadequate. It just means there's plenty of room for third parties like indie bloggers to documentation their own approaches in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Rust, or whatever.
"all their arguments apply to all third-party sign-ons"

No they don't. Other sign-on options don't obfuscate the email address.

They are likely removing FB login as otherwise their next app update will be rejected by Apple for supporting third party login but not Apple login.

Your physician prescribes an IV medication, and refers you to either a hospital, clinic, or a home infusion provider depending on a variety of circumstances. If you end up with a home IV provider, they process your prescription, ship the drug to your house in a refrigerated container, and schedule a nurse to come out and infuse you. The nurse brings and leaves any supplies you might need.
> I've got to say, I really wish there were a way to know whether I already used Facebook, Google, or Apple to log into a site or app before.

Bookwalker (from Japan) draws a big red box around the login you used last on a given device. Presumably they store a cookie/sharedpreferences with it. It doesn't look pretty, but it helps.
There's a bit of misunderstanding in your statement. Most of the money made by companies in payments systems comes from transaction fees, not from interest. When companies offer you better rewards, that's them competing to have you use their credit card rather than the competition's.
I wished they implemented the Fullscreen API for iPhones...
Because Apple does not enforce their rules consistently.
>My password manager is usually pretty good at letting me know if I've got a "normal" account with user/password, but it doesn't do anything to remind me if I ought to log in with one of the other services.

Doesn't it somewhat defeat the purpose of using a password manager if you use one account to sign into multiple sites?

Sign on services from main accounts seem like security flaws. If you use one main account resonsible for all your 'main things' to sign in to all the 'other things' that gives one vector of attack to enter or compromise 'all the things'.

Password managers exist to make the management of many things as easy as one thing, not to adapt to using one thing for everything, that's pretty much the opposite of what a password manager does.

Sign on services don't exist for convenience, despite being marketed that way, they exist to increase data collection abilities. Password managers exist to make using multiple accounts as easy as using a sign on service, that's the point. They should be separate from existing providers. They are an alternative to them.
1. Not extreme. 2. No, do your own research.
You really dodge the main point of my post. Trump does not support any "left-wing" legislation, or any traditional 80s/90s neoliberal foreign policy.

For someone to support Trump in 2020, and to support the concepts of universal healthcare and substantial police reform (and acknowledging systemic corruption in police), is completely mind boggling.

I disagree with your worldview that the "left" dislikes Trump for some meta outgroup reason, rather than his abhorrent leadership, destruction of apolitical institutions, and bad policy.

> you seem to be posting studies that did not pair HCQ with zinc

I'm just posting studies that were the basis for what FDA decided June 15, 2020 (1):

"FDA has revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) to use hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat COVID-19 in certain hospitalized patients when a clinical trial is unavailable or participation is not feasible. We made this determination based on recent results from a large, randomized clinical trial in hospitalized patients that found these medicines showed no benefit for decreasing the likelihood of death or speeding recovery."

And I don't have more information than that.

Debit cards? The other option is to use a Credit Card but pay off at the end of the month. Why is that so difficult? That’s literally like a Debit card except for the additional “buffer” of safety and security from your bank account.
Thanks, but in my first comment I described exactly that possible scenario of companies rushing these announcements once they realized a competitor was acting on the issue. Once again, I don't know why so many people are assuming this is coordinated.

Let's try to scope out the magnitude of the project, you will understand.

* Because the problems with LateX are mostly due to the limitations of TeX syntax. So you really have to design a new improved TeX-like language.

* While, you can borrow most of the syntax of Latex for the semantic language newLatex built on top of newTex, you will have to make a lot of improvements there too. In principle, you don't have to, but in practice whoever does it, will.

* Then you have to write a compiler that works on multiple platforms.

* Compiler outputs PDF, a terrible format to work with anyway.

* Compiler for html will be demanded too, or the project will fail. So have to write that too.

* What about all the latex packages? There are hundreds of packages that will need to incorporated somehow. Or the project will fail.

* Who is going to do all of this? Language design requires a really small team to make an excellent product. But the remaining project is so large, so you need a larger team for that. So now you need a larger team that will just accept what the Language design committee creates.

* Once, you have created something, you have to convince scientists, some who have been using Latex for decades to switch. But scientists will only switch if journals will switch. And journals don't don't want to maintain templates in another language.

In short, there are a whole host of technical and political problems that nobody really wants to tackle. The project is simply not prestigious enough.

But if Ycombinator wants to help science, if they can fund a team to do this, this will probably contribute more to the advancement of science than almost anything else with a few million dollars.

We struggled with this, especially for collaborative projects, and it was one of the motivations for WritelaTeX (now Overleaf[1]). Having more eyes on the problem (on a shared doc), especially the ability to loop in LaTeX experts, usually resolved many of these similar types of issues.

Edit: for avoidance of doubt, I'm one of the founders of WriteLaTeX/Overleaf -- we've been providing LaTeX compilation-as-a-service for ~8 years now!
Two reasons come to mind.

1) NDAs they've signed for tech licensed that may affect the bitstream format.

2) The work in writing up the format.
