That seems like a pretty cynical take.
My understanding is that Gilead has been donating the drug and provided a royalty free license to other pharma companies to manufacture it (not that they could).

But UK doesn’t need any sattelite because it is quickly becoming one itself. Now leaving the sarcasm aside, I feel bad for British folks, the whole brexit thing is going to be more painful than it appears to be and all kinds of surprises like this are going to pop up. What is there to do? Maybe this crisis will lead to a complete overhaul of the political class, maybe they do away with the crown and all the lords too and become once for all pragmatic and hardheaded.
When was the last time you needed to configure your router to access the internet?

I understand if that router is something industrial, but then you can probably figure out how to do that over SSH anyway (which is secure).
Cynic in me says this is an awfully convenient way to justify a cut-back in advertising spend during the economic crisis while gaining free PR for being so "socially conscious". Most of these companies even mentioned right in the announcement that it's only for a month.

Of course not, no one is claiming they are the ultimate arbiters of morality.

But they do have the right to decide who can use their platform (as long as they don’t discriminate against protected groups). The broader public can then judge them positively or negatively for these decisions.

> bow to Apple's demands.

Apple "demanded" companies either add their privacy friendly sign in option, or give up on the data-slurping Facebook google sign-ups. This company gave up FB sign in, which they acknowledge is pretty gross and bloated.
In some industries a monopoly can even be with a marketshare about 25%, but nevermind, 50% is widely regarded as the average threshold, as you can see on justice.gov :(

"Some courts have stated that it is possible for a defendant to possess monopoly power with a market share of less than fifty percent.(29) These courts provide for the possibility of establishing monopoly power through non-market-share evidence, such as direct evidence of an ability profitably to raise price or exclude competitors. The Department is not aware, however, of any court that has found that a defendant possessed monopoly power when its market share was less than fifty percent.(30) Thus, as a practical matter, a market share of greater than fifty percent has been necessary for courts to find the existence of monopoly power.(31)"

"Out of touch" is an unfair characterization. Not everyone wants what you think they want.

I specifically do not want push notifications from Twitter or almost any other app aside from calendars and alarms. Having Twitter notify me about every stupid online interaction was causing my life to be buried in constant distraction. Without a doubt, my life is better without it, and I don't think that's an unusual perspective.

Also, I would be curious about your reasoning that running an app gives fewer ways to track the user. I would tend to believe the opposite.

*Edit: 1 minor typo
The check on this is that you are now putting an inconvenience on that apps users. Maybe it’s okay in some isolated circumstance however, I imagine this won’t sit well if it becomes a reoccurring theme for iOS users, as they will come to view Sign In With Apple as unstable/unsafe (like Google and it’s graveyard). It would quickly render Sign In With Apple useless if the trust that it will continue to work whenever used is not there

I actually think this wouldn’t really happen in practice as consumers are quick to respond negatively to this behavior, so I’d be shocked if Apple actually did this without some darn good reason (I imagine it will also include removing said app)
I believe that what he is trying to say is that, even though the lyrics are about killing people, selling drugs and so, nobody bans their music and they have the right to express themselves.
> /r/GenderCritical (anti-Trans)

This is not a fair portrayal of that sub.

Reddit can do what it likes about banning political subs but the banning of r/gendercritical is quite concerning, in my opinion.
So many web developers keep pushing to give web the same power as native apps. "What's the difference between a PWA and native app? Why web cannot access the same api?"

So I want to ask another question: "What's the difference among knives, guns and missiles. Why almost everyone can buy a knife, but need a license to buy a gun, and may never able to buy a missile (even with enough funds)". One possible (and obvious )answer is because guns and missiles are more powerful than knives, we want to give them more restrictions.

Now can we reverse the logic and say, if we are able to decide the power of items, we should give items with less restriction less power? Let's limit our discussion on a mobile device, it's very easy to visit a website. But if you want to use a native app, you need to go to the app store, tap the download button, confirm, wait until the download is finished and the app is installed, and then finally open it. The app was also reviewed by the app store beforehand. This makes a difference. In fact, I think the ubiquity of web means we should never allow it to have the same power of what an native app can have.

And people are talking about the monopoly of apple. But if web become THE operating system one day, google will be a more dominant monopoly. They control both the implementation of the os (chrome) and the entry (search engine).
Currently 0. But we have a new product coming up that will help with that.

I don't know any artists who use QuickBooks, so I'm not sure where you're coming from. You're in some kind of parallel universe to the people happily using Patreon to collect from their followers.

And they don't care about "revenue" vs "earnings" since they went to Berklee College of Music, and just want to pay their rent this month.

To be constructive:

- explain your use case in your blog. Perhaps you have an advanced use case that would be a good roadmap for future features

- or go use Stripe or Paypal payments for payment processing. Patreon is community funding software.

I own that one (extended version) and in the "sitting" position (I assume that's how you would use the wheel) I can make it wobble front to back by a few millimeters if i really lean onto it, but side-to-side i can move it barely a millimeter or two even when yanking it rather hard. It feels really solid in that direction. In the standing position, it does move more.
I have only played with ARCore, which was why I thought I could learn it better through playing with it in PHONK. I'll see if I can contribute. Thanks!
Is Ford even making something to sell right now? I don’t know why these companies would be advertising when massive numbers of people can’t buy your product right now.

Advertising now seems like a waste of money.
Were you on the subreddit?
What's your business model? The product looks outstanding, but I, like many others here I'd imagine, am somewhat skeptical of a product that sells itself as nearly completely free for the user.
> For example, if I told you that one party in the US generally favors higher taxes and higher services, and one party generally favors lower taxes and lower services, could you match the party labels to the descriptions, imperfect as they are?

I think there's the obvious answer that most people would give, but I don't think there's great evidence that the policies implemented by the parties strongly matches the conventional wisdom here.

We now have an iOS app.

I don't think CSS modules are the issue to making it responsive. We just decided to focus the design/engineering resources on making mobile apps instead of responsive web app.

Ideally we would do both though, and hopefully we can in the future.

Klutz books were a huge part of my childhood. I spent hours just looking at catalogs and begged my parents to buy me Goo and yoyos (never did get that SB-1). Thank you for all the witty and charming books.
And Clojure
Let's talk about modern day since that's the topic at hand. Who was the last US citizen you know of to be arrested, detained, and killed for voicing opposition to the way the government is run. I'm not saying the US government is perfect (especially in this time, far from it), I'm just saying the comparison isn't remotely apropos. I would say I have the "correct" level of confidence in this regard.

That conclusion is hardly insightful. We don't expect one compiler to be universally better in every single conceivable situation that another. Of course (in terms of performance) one can still build benchmarks that evaluate how good it is in typical numerical code, for instance.
I don't use Facebook. In fact it's blocked on my router. So life is good.
Not sure if you still have friends at home, but perhaps the most fun period of my life was living at home after grad school working a low-wage job. I spent a ton of time with my old buddies drinking and playing games like MTG. I moved to another city to get a "real" job and ended up living here for the last six years. I've met a lot of cool people here and been much more successful career-wise, but honestly I'd love to go back in the next few years before I'm really old and enjoy the time with my friends and my parents while they're still around. You may or may not have similar draws where you're from, but if you do I'd just say it might feel like a retreat at first but actually end up being a great time in your life.
Well, You have grown comfortable with double standards , somehow equating China with rest of world. Please spend sometime questioning that delusion. China is NO WAY QUALIFIED to question any country ! Western decency has been exploited by China for sometime..

> How effective has "confronting fascism with the truth" ever been, when the fascist is not being upfront about it, but rather posting hundreds of subtly racist memes and dog whistles to reddit?

I don't feel like I did this question justice with my previous answer.

The most obvious example would be the George Floyd video, and in a larger sense, the extremely effective tool of filming police as they harass, plant evidence on, beat, and murder the people they're supposed to serve. In the current situation, I think the results of that video speak for themselves.

In response to the pervasive narrative that focuses on looters and not on cops murdering black people (I linked to five minutes in, but the whole thing is worth a watch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWE8k5EUonE&t=5m0s This tends to be persuasive in my experience.

This doesn't address racism because it's a white guy, but I find it's effective in getting people to take the complete lack of police accountability more seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBUUx0jUKxc That officer (Philip Brailsford) was acquitted in a trial where the prosecutor moved to strike the video from evidence, and then the officer was rehired by Mesa Police briefly, before being given early medical retirement based on a claim of PTSD from the murder, earning him a $2500/mo pension.

Watch any of those videos that you haven't seen, and see how that feels, and realize that that's how they make people who were on the fence about these issues feel.
This just screams dnd map builder thing :)

Plenty of private companies forbid rap on their premises.
To me Quibi was immediately a sort of joke. I saw the video ads about a pilot watching Quibi or something and kind of ignored it. I knew what the platform was sort of but I never checked it out. It's kind of like the reality of any app-store platform, you have to have a killer app. In this case it would be a video series that can't be found anywhere other than Quibi that makes them have to check it out. Maybe there was one that I don't know about, but I feel like their ads should have been telling me where to find what I already wanted instead of just trying to entice me to check it out because they paid someone to pretend to be a pilot who is checking it out.
Developers leak benchmarks from the Apple silicon Mac transition kit
When will there be a boycott of the New York Times for publishing the lies of Judith Miller that led to the direct deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children?

Is there going to be a boycott of Coca-Cola for their support of right-wing regimes in Colombia that murder, torture and rape the Indigenous?

What about a boycott of Ford for producing automobiles that are destroying our planet?

Don't worry, none of the above will happen because they do not increase the censorship capabilities of the state on the free internet.

Keep voting and emoting. We have only 10 years to irreversible climate change. Keep it up.

That's interesting. Digging around a bit for RISC OS Developments (the new owner), I found this interview with Tech Crunch that mentioned they were working with Pinebook on porting to that platform [0] (6th question down).

> That's patently wrong, and ignores basic RESTful standards such as HAL.

That's an opinion on the usefulness of HATEOAS. I'm well aware that misguided developers keep inserting HATEAOS where it provides no value. It's just annoying.

Realistically, the only useful thing you could do with HATEOAS-style data and an agnostic client is to generate a (rather crappy) UI for an intelligent agent to navigate.

This is clearly what Roy Fielding had in mind as well, where I quote from his dissertation:

"The name “Representational State Transfer” is intended to evoke an image of how a well-designed Web application behaves: a network of web pages (a virtual state-machine), where the user progresses through the application by selecting links (state transitions), resulting in the next page (representing the next state of the application) being transferred to the user and rendered for their use."

> Just because the word Hypermedia" pops out this does not mean HATEOAD has anything to do with HTML.

It may in principle be not specifically tied to XML or JSON or HTML or web browsers, however in practice that's the only domain where it is actually used. Therefore, alternative ways of doing things in that domain are relevant when talking about REST.

> You do not manipulate any DOM to "implement interactions".

Here I'm talking about how many modern web applications actually work, not how REST works.
Some other salient differences with Perl and Python:

- Perl and CPAN are tightly integrated, whereas NPM and JavaScript are not. Perl without CPAN is unthinkable; JavaScript without NPM is rather pleasant. A huge amount of JavaScript culture, best practices, and idioms existed before NPM and therefore there’s much less cultural cohesiveness on “standard” third party libraries, etc. It’s a different story with Node specifically but the horse already left the barn by then.

- many of the “batteries included” in Python are from a rich standard library that JavaScript/Node lacks. So there isn’t a need for a third party library to implement extremely basic functions like you see in Lodash or leftpad, and for pip packages there’s a much deeper base of code/API standards to draw standards and idioms from.
Nobody's preventing anyone from speaking. They're just refusing to allow them to use their private property to broadcast it. There are loads of web sites and even entire alternative social networks where you can find as much of this stuff as you want.

BTW: I get the impression that sites like Reddit and YouTube, rather than being quick to ban, have given these groups and individual personalities a pass for quite some time. Alex Jones had to start harassing the victims of school shootings to get banned. I doubt someone as well known as him would last that long. If anything these platforms keep these people on as long as they can because ad dollars and only ban them when the advertisers revolt.
A significant portion of right-wing people do not support parler or the shady circumstances surrounding it. They are not a tu quoque example.
It's exactly what it is. The marketing department does a cost-benefit analysis on whether it gets more attention by buying Facebook ads, versus the (free!) media coverage they get from not buying Facebook ads. This time, the latter seems to be winning.
Ask HN: Do we need to redesign the internet?
The last wave of bans across multiple platforms have got me thinking that we're on a bad version of the Internet.

In general, I dont like shutting up the opposition and with traffic consolidated so heavily on a few platforms/companies, bans effectively shut people up.

On the other hand, I cant deny that even the most outrageous claims find willing ears on the internet. Diseases that were all but exterminated are now flourishing in Europe thanks to anti-vax propaganda.

Is there a middle-ground here, where people can speak their minds, engage with others - likeminded or not - without the damaging effects? Or are we destined to end in some form of dictatorship where 10 people determine who says what?

And what happens when we no longer agree with these 10 people? Can we even get to that point if the entire narrative is so heavily controlled?
What free speech? The government isn't preventing these awful people from spewing their hate. Companies refusing to host their content is not a violation of the first amendment.

And yes, free speech, so long as everyone in the room agrees that all of the humans in said room are human. Anything less than that, and they can get the hell out of the room, their ideas aren't worth discussing. If you don't agree with that, you are by definition a white supremacist.
Yeah, the parties are going to have things they agree on. The question is how much is that agreement out of line with what the citizenry want, or at least, what they think they want until the consequences of wanting that is rammed home by reality.

> Both parties broadly promote global US military and economic supremacy (unipolarity)

They seem to be doing a pretty bad job of preventing the rise of China as a second pole.

Why the US has so many Filipino nurses
In what way are EU's institutions remotely democratic? The only one that is actually elected is the EU parliament, which has little actual power and exists only as a (very expensive) fig leaf of democracy.

We can argue about how good a job the British government is doing but at least it is directly democratically accountable to the British public.
There is also no guarantee that Youtube is not manipulating its rankings to make the CCP happy. I think many American companies are too afraid to anger the CCP which has resulted in them filtering content the CCP would be offended by.
It's a great way to get one last ping of free, positive press for nothing.

Its nothing more than that imho, no one cared when it was hate speech or election interference or privacy or under moderation or kids. But suddenly, the same day accounting decided to cut the budget they had a moral epiphany? Pfft.
Having your video hosted by youtube is not an issue of free speech. Free speech does not mean other people are obligated to listen to you, to take what you say seriously, relay your speech or help others discover you.

I'm sure there is a point where it could become an unhealthy slippery slope to kick people off of large platforms, but it is not in the realm of free speech. These people have not been kicked off the internet.
Was going to post something similar, but you beat me to it. There is another added benefit here, time for facebook to lower its rates? once COVID19 is over, and facebook as lowered the rates all these companies will be all over facebook once again... they just cant resist all those "users".
I don’t recall this being a problem in 4 years. Men weren’t put down or treated in derogatory ways because they weren’t women. If I try to enumerate typical toxic behaviours, it certainly wasn’t the case that any of this was systematically disadvantaging men. Contrast that with modern work environments ...
but that's more of a problem of leadership, courage, and ultimately fairness. parties are not designed to fix that problem, and we've let the system devolve into this mess so that politicians can concentrate power in the smallest agreeable number of entities (two).
