The vast majority of people don’t have a second email for things they don’t trust. You’re living in a nerd-bubble, but the rest of the world is on the internet too.

Actually, most app sandboxes have to request network access as a permission. Unfortunately most mobile OSes don't let you deny it at present. However, you have a lot of options for using network devices or inspection software to intervene and block requests on local machines. Meanwhile, once data is on a remote server, you have no control of it.

Furthermore, native apps can be retained and often installed after they're no longer supported by their developer. Web apps vanish into the night, and leave you with nothing.
I like having apps that work and feel the same. I can bring my knowledge from one app to another. I can develop expertise on a platform. The web is culturally unable to do that.

Look at a sophisticated web app, like Google Docs. This has a menu bar, which is a bad copy of the native Mac menu bar. Web apps are copying native app conventions, to try to be more familiar. But they're also eroding those conventions.

Eventually only click and swipe will be left. And this problem is not going to be solved by Web MIDI or whatever.
There is some ancient comment by pg that says something to the effect of "downvoting to express disagreement is fine," that people always bring out when this discussion happens. I think that should change. Downvoting simply because you disagree should not be the desired behavior, and flagging for disagreement especially shouldn't be desired.

I can't say that I live up to that standard. But, I do vouch probably 10x more than I flag. Browsing with showdead on, I get to see an interesting view of HN, and there are some bits of gold in the sluice there.
That is your conclusion for a specific case, calm down bro I didn't say this subreddit was a benevolent group lol, no shit it's complicated and subjective. That doesn't mean I support censorship in these cases though of which there are many, because that is what's happening and often it's just the whim and political leaning of the platform.

Beyond that who do you think these people are inciting? Like would any reasonable person read this subreddit and start commiting violent acts? That sounds like the scum of the earth anyway that don't need reddit to be incited or for any violence to happen, but stifling free speech is not worth it most of the time and you aren't really helping anything anyway. Yelling fire in a crowded theater is a clear threat. People shitposting online isn't. If there's a clear violation of rules then fine, but saying that entire groups should be shut down without evidence is a fuckin slippery slope and if you use your brain you don't really need to worry about some dumbass subreddit.
If it's any consolation, I don't put any value in Glassdoor for this reason. They have not dealt with fake reviews, both good and bad ones.

The article title is not as descriptive as the lede.
It's not an American cultural norm. It's just English grammar.

Things which are written as compounds in other languages often have a space in English, and English does not distinguish between word classes so that Noun-Noun compounds and Adjective-Noun phrases are ambiguous.

But if you hear “white nationalism” five times, when you hear “white nationalist” you don't hear it compositionally as “(white) (nationalist)” but as “(white nation)alist” - someone who advocates for a white nation.

“White nationalism” is a word. It has a different meaning than Nazism in my experience, so calling for substitution would be wrong. For instance, a person could support a multi-party white nationalist pseudo-democracy like the US during slavery. But nazism is going to be a form of dictatorship.
Although I agree with you, I understand the parent's point of view. I believe the issue here is one of terminology, i.e. "systemic racism" vs. an instance of racism. So the parent is arguing that you do indeed need to have experienced those years of oppression to experience racism, otherwise its localized racism that ends when you stop talking to that person (vs having no escape from it). To be clear, I'm on the all-racism-is-racism-is-bad side but had a few friends argue the parent's pov

Wealthier consumers also have more to gain on the luxury perks offered by cards. If you value 5 star hotel stays and airport first class tickets then you get more of the "value" back from the card fees. But actually with chase you can get a lot of those fees back on non-luxury redemptions too, but you'd still have to be rich enough to travel.

I would personally think this is unlikely. Looking at https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-version-market-share we can see that Safari on iPhone probably caused the overall drop.

Now, I can't see people suddenly not using their iPhone because of the pandemic (quite the contrary actually) - perhaps this signifies a slowdown in iPhone sales?

And herein lies the problem: Having pushed the purveyors of "unacceptable ideology" (whatever that may be, decided by whomever) into the black market, we now have made confronting it (by letting our value judgments stand to reason, which they will, if we let them) much more difficult. People behave as though they are completely powerless to stop bad thoughts from following the utterance of particular words in a particular order, which to me is as fundamentally insane as the idea that you can stop murder by simply banning murder, or that you can stop people from using drugs by simply banning drugs.

The central problem is that people are lazy as hell. The answer to this problem and indeed, most problems we face in society, is building and maintaining stronger communities, and encouraging critical thought and an educated and participatory citizenry. But this is incredibly hard, and is incompatible with most forms of grift which people have set up to enrich themselves. In the end, however, this is really a description of all of human history. It will always be the case that building and maintaining a "good" society is incredibly hard work, which most people reflexively don't want to do (in the same way that most people don't want to do the dishes, or take the shopping cart back to the shopping cart corral at the grocery store).

> "India is absolutely right in banning TikTok as it is a significant national securities threat."

I'm surprised, actually, that Trump hasn't expressed a desire ban TikTok. Especially after they trolled him so badly at that Tulsa rally!

He's managed to ban Huawei over (unproven and strenuously denied) security issues. Yet TikTok has direct influence over something much more important than 5G radio equipment: the hearts and minds of a generation of American children!
I don't think it's necessarily a case of optimizing for profit, although that's certainly a valid way of framing it. Rather, I think it's likely the engineers responsible tried to create systems they earnestly thought would be good at suggesting interesting content. A system that promotes interesting and sensational car videos to car enthusiasts seems ethically sound and quite cool; I think that's probably the sort of scenario the architects of these systems were considering. They neglected to consider the deleterious effects such a system could have on society when applied to some higher-stakes topics, like politics. Maybe they did this because they were optimizing for profit and blinded by dollar signs, but I think this might also have happened if the individuals involved were simply naively unaccustomed to considering the possibility that software could harm society.
It's far fetched to think that google added web midi in this way just for a couple of bits of entropy which are essentially worthless (no ad network cares about identifying like 0.01% of people, if even that. Yes it's very valuable entropy if you want to identify those people specifically, but who actually wants to do that?)
It's trickled into other mainstream/downstream services as well like Patreon. Patreon bans certain creators because they have a "policy" on acceptable content that is backstopped by visa/mc policies.

Why not nationalize credit and banking? The industry has shown its gross incompetence time and time again, notably in 2008 and now with COVID they’re yet again settled with bad debt, this time corporate instead of housing. The nation already subsidizes their risks and failures, so why not the upside. Establish a clear hierarchy of accountability rather than the free for all smash and grab we’ve been seeing for decades.

One thing you have to understand is that hatred of whites by blacks is fundamentally different from hatred of blacks by whites, because hatred of whites by blacks is justified. I call it the Neither Wolf Nor Dog rule.

Anyway, Reddit's policies explicitly say they will not punish "reverse racism":

> Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on their actual and perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or disability. These include victims of a major violent event and their families.

> While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.

As a society we've decided it's perfectly legitimate to hate people based on the color of their skin -- when their skin color has been unfairly privileged for 400 years. The shoe has to be on the other foot for a while before things balance out karmically.
Yes, that would be ok because it’s a private platform. They can ban who ever they want. If you find that problematic then don’t go there. I don’t.

Where do we draw the line? We don’t. They do, because it’s a private platform.
> Basically, if you're paid more you can work fewer hours while still meeting all of your financial obligations.

I think that this is trivially correct while being fundamentally wrong.

Most people work many many more hours and value their free time at relatively zero. Our social incentives are usually aligned with working longer and achieving consumer outcomes that are low “quality” (a bigger house with more debt is happiness?).

Even worse, we are encouraged to risk all our time during our work lives to obtain a relatively uncertain outcome: retirement funds are easy to lose and it is easy to fail to achieve retirement pleasure (poor health or early death, lost identity, missing joy).

We are all given fairly equal amounts of time, yet many fail to apportion their time in ways that give them lasting pleasure.

Edit:
> This article suggests, and I concur, that you're time would be better off on finding a skill that comes easily rather than trying to develop one that doesn't.

I strongly disagree. Our success is often defined by our weaknesses, not our strengths. Watch the engineer fail because they can’t work with others; see the financial wizard fail due to addictions; see a friend fail due to a personality flaw that they ignore; watch an entrepreneur fail because they are deaf to valid criticism. These are hard issues to recognise and deal with within ourselves, and they need serious investment of time and effort. Working on our flaws gives good value even if all one manages to achieve is to learn to change a failing into a mediocre skill.
Ask HN: What are modern front ends for RxJS?
I'm catching up on React and seeing the changes that have happened recently which include hooks. Needless to say I'm not thrilled. When I was last heavy into frontend, I was excited by cljs atoms and top down virtual dom rendering. I had my front end and backend being rendered by the same codebase.

What I'd like to be able to do is render something using RxJS + Typescript. What gui libraries are best to use for that these days? Am I looking at only Bootstrap?

It's definitely more laggy, but in terms of everything else, it's light years ahead of Xcode:

1) code navigation, editing, refactoring
2) integration with Git/GitHub, Issue Trackers, Cloud Providers
3) external build system support
4) multiplatform editing (java, js, typescript, kotlin, python, etc)
5) integration with testing, continuous integration, deployment
6) code analysis, finding problems
7) tons of special support for DSLs and third party frameworks

The only thing XCode is better at IMHO is UI building and OSX instrumentation. If you're writing tons of code that doesn't have a UI, especially for cloud backends, I don't think you'd use it.

Even simple things, like language injection, work wonders in the editor window. Having the IDE know how to syntax color, check, and code complete SQL, CSS, HTML, Regex, etc inside strings is a huge help.

I spend 15 years on emacs, and the last 15 on InteliJ, and having an editor that slices and dices code in a myriad a ways with easy to use automation, and actually indexes the code and builds a deeper understanding of the totality of your project is well worth it. I just wish it was less laggy in the UI.

If I was writing an iOS app, sure, I'd use XCode, but I can't envision being it general purpose for anything else, unlike the versatility of other competitors like VSCode.
Except in this case its not moderators of the site removing my content, its just people who can't think for themselves slapping the down button on any contrary opinion while saying they support contrary opinions except the contrary opinions that they support of full of hate speech and parroted fascist dog whistles while trying to squash any semblance of reasonable discourse.
> We need more decentralization, moving the Web outside of big corps that censor "wrong think."

We used to have Usenet, which was fairly decentralized in the sense that each server/provider could decide to ban some groups and admins and moderated groups could ban users.

It didn't work so well, the same problems as today existed 25 years ago because similarly-inclined people banned opposing views or legal, but questionable content.

Perhaps we just need smaller online communities? Not because there would be a different composition of views, but the lynch mobs and drama that affect every single user would be smaller and more manageable.

> FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc. are "hive minds"

They're just in the wrong hands, the power to censor and deplatform people is in the hand of too few individuals and organizations, some openly radical left.

Not sure, i'm not into web development, i just see using the window width as the wrong way. I keep my window down to that size even when i'm using monitors with larger resolutions (1080p or 1440p), it is a bad idea to assume window width == monitor resolution == device type.

>> If that were the case than there’s no point in having a political system, is there?

Yes there is. It’s like court, you have prosecution and defense.

I didn’t suggest that they “oppose for the sake of opposition”. I said they oppose because that’s their job, to keep the current government “in check”.

>> Your problems and complaints about the EU are not relevant to the discussion.

They’re not complaints, they’re observations. Some of the items, not all, like defense and dollar liquidity are very relevant because of the geopolitical interplay.

>> Unless your talking genetics, how does this qualify you as a “European”?

I didn’t say I was European. I said I was a European citizen. You see, holding a European citizenship makes you a European citizen. I even voted in the last EU parliament elections.
Roman Catholic Church Bans Birth Control for Catholic Parishioners to Increase Population.
What I learnt working at a large Hollywood Studio years ago:

- Movies begin as risk assessments and cash flow analysis in the finance dept based on historical data.

- The revenue graph for a movie is a function of release month, the number of celebrity actors in the film, the box office receipts, followed by DVD sales, followed by TV release and a long tail of syndication (airlines, cable etc).

- Studios know, for example, that a romantic comedy in Feb staring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler will make a guaranteed $35 million at the box office regardless of what the movie is. A summer blockbuster with Will Smith will have a guaranteed $100 million in box office and DVD sales spread out over time. Sequels to popular movies will bring in a certain minimum income guaranteed. Movies that minimize dialog and maximize action do well in the global market. Include China or a Chinese celebrity actor in the plotline and you are guaranteed millions of additional revenue.
This provides the bean counters information on how much to spend on movie production to minimize risk and ensure a steady revenue stream throughout the year.

- So the finance dept will green light a February rom-com with a production budget of $10 million, a summer blockbuster where there can splurge $75-100 million on production etc. They monitor other studio release dates to avoid going head-to-head with their releases. They keep a stable of celebrity actors on studio contract and force directors to include plot lines that maximize a global audience.

- It is only after the finance dept gives the green light and budget that they go and look at possible movies to make and pick a director. Story ? - that's just about the last thing to work out (Pixar is the exception).
