I've had it on my phone for some time, but 75% of the time it fails to play the video, complaining that it failed to parse the video page, or something similar. With youtube-dl, you have to keep it updated for it to not crash with similar errors, so might be a question of updates not being regular enough (I use F-Droid to update it).

Also, suggestion capabilities of Youtube are very high. I'll always be coming back for that until there is an alternative. Unfortunately, that also means that using non-official players is counterproductive (I want to feed the recommendation engine).

In my small group of friends this has been the case. They were already looking at moving out of condo or apartment and into a home. COVID may have sped that up.

At the same time I'm 4 months into quarantine and I'm looking forward to going back to the office. Working from home is a nice option, but a mandatory requirement is not the same.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Supreme court justice has cancer again
As someone who has emigrated from Eastern Europe (search for "Eastern Europe smile") to the US I can most definitely say that having strangers around smile/try to be nice (even just on appearance) is most definitely helpful as a stranger in a strange land. I would argue that in most social interactions with people we don't know there's going to be some kind of imbalance in knowledge/power and it's much more helpful when everyone tries to be nice in such a situation.

To take a very simple example: you are trying to go to a new place in a city. Maybe you just moved in the city or maybe you've been living here a while but you just never been to that place. So you try to find out how to get there using public transit. Naturally you'd need to ask strangers or the lady selling tickets. You do that in Eastern Europe (at least in my experience growing up there) and people will be at best annoyed, at worst they make comments about why you even ask, you are expected to know everything and generally they just act to make themselves feel superior and make you feel dumb. And while all of this is happening they look upset and mad which is not helping at all in an already stressful situation. In the US I had the opposite experience, worst case they cannot answer but they are making an effort to be nice to me and not just make fun of me.

I'm also pretty confident this isn't just "one" example, I grew up in an Eastern European country so plenty of experiences there and I've been in the US for 10+ years and it's been consistently a better experience day to day with strangers.

Now it might seem like that is just one silly interaction, shouldn't affect one much. But multiply this by thousands as you spend years in such a place and the difference becomes huge, I would argue it even forms your psychology.

So yes, US-type niceness is freaky and weird for those of us not used to it and it's most definitely "fake" in most cases, if you define "fake" as anything that is just skin deep, but that "skin deep" fake smile/niceness is ALL you need in day to day interactions with strangers, I'm not trying to make friends with everyone I meet and develop deep meaningful relationships, I'm just trying to take the right bus to my destination and you'll never see me again. So yes, please be nice and kind and smile.

On the other hand, I have found it hard to develop meaningful relationships in the US. It could be because the superficial niceness means it's hard to find someone that you can genuinely click with and/or many other reasons (immigrant, different culture, older age, etc).
> The federal government is worse than useless

It's the government that the collective beliefs and cultural assumptions of this country have built. Maybe there's a cause-effect link in there, somewhere, you would think?
Sure, but I was actually commenting on how it doesn't have to be DMs that will get him cancelled. It only has to be DMs that look bad enough that he thinks something like that might happen. Or even some smaller thing.

If you're Musk with his money and resources, what's $10k or $20k to keep knowledge out of the public that you slept with your friend's or some random famous person's wife, or cheated on your girlfriend? The amount of money something like that is worth is relative to available money to the person and what the personal cost is to spend it. How much does it hurt Musk to spend $100k? Would he spend that much to try to keep knowledge of someone woman pregnant with his child getting an abortion? I think probably, if he thought he could keep the fact he paid secret if it came out later, since that would only make any story worse (regardless of how he feels about abortion, paying a lot to keep it secret is just fuel for any criticism while also being worthwhile for anyone that wants privacy).

Having recently watched your efforts to moderate discussion in a US v China style debate, you have an unenviable position. Thanks for your work.
When using stencil prerendering or SSR, you absolutely can write a component with shadow dom and have it prerendered. For example, most of ionic's components (https://ionicframework.com/docs) are shadow dom, and you can prerendering an Ionic app. The prerendered html generates a flat dom tree, and when the clientside JS hydrates each component it'll update the component to use shadow dom, all without a flicker, and it reuses the same original dom nodes.
Yeah, it is a pain with all smelters currently in use. There is maybe an alternative deign that could change that. But the idea here is not to store the energy, but to export it as chemical energy via aluminum.
> For me, the most interesting aspect was that it's part of standards, requiring no dependency, so it means that I can use this app for decades without having to maintain it.

Doesn't really make sense because for JS frameworks and for the "pure" component the dependency is the same - browser. If i don't have to maintain a project i can just pick whatever is the current version of React/Vue/Other and have the project running as long as the browser doesn't break/change something.
Roger that. But this "meeting in the middle" thing is a worthwhile goal, n'est pas?

The police kill more white people in absolute terms than black people. But white people are a larger percentage of the population, so it's still disproportionately black people. But the disproportionality goes the other way if you account for the difference in violent crime rates.

Then someone could argue that the difference in violent crime rates is itself a result of racism, and someone else could argue that that is a separate question from whether the police, rather than e.g. high school guidance counselors (or just factors like parental income), are the root cause of the disparity.

By this point there is enough space between the error bars that each side can declare victory because the other side hasn't been able to prove that their position isn't within them, even though nothing has really been decided and the level of data collection and detailed analysis required to get there is more work than anybody is ever actually willing to do.

On the other hand, tying everything to iCloud and then losing all your data because you replaced your sole device and forgot your password would be disastrous.

The issue here is that some people (the police) are applying this idea as if it was a great explanation. That's what makes it junk science.

> a lot of the American userbase on HN are not "well off"

Oh come on, get serious. This is a board focused on Tech, an industry where our the median/mean is well above almost any other field in the US.
Exactly! I feel like most people already don't realize how much they are being manipulated. Each day is a struggle against malicous influences.

Even though I'm aware of it, I still fall for YouTube recommendations. My brain still lights up when I see an ad for a product I recognize. I'm still impressed by the sponsored Amazon search results.

Personalization only makes this worse. Now, that product that I made the difficult decision to pass on will taunt and distract me even in situations when I should be focusing on different things.
That's not correct, Stencil has support for pre-rendering Shadow DOM components.

Ask HN: Why is “blazing fast” a common phrase in the web development world?
It seems like everyday we hear of a new framework that is "blazing fast" in something, but yet is written in Javascript or PHP or other dynamic language. It almost is like a meme or an insider joke that I don't get. Maybe it's "blazing fast" as compared to slow-as-molasses Javascript code, but it still is not as fast as it could be because it is written in Javascript.

e.g:

Lumen: "...solution for building Laravel based micro-services and blazing fast APIs"
Stencil: "Generate small, blazing fast, and 100% standards based Web Components..."
Gatsby: "...a free and open source framework based on React that helps developers build blazing fast websites and apps"
Vue: "...Blazing Fast Virtual DOM"
Lisan: "A blazing fast and super small i18n library..."

Sorry, I wasn't aware that YouTube lets you rent movies, I was mostly speaking about normal clips that anyone can watch for free.
> There are 5.1 million people working in hospitals.

The person you are replying to is talking about frontline healthcare workers. But you ignored that and ran your math to include everyone who works in a hospital, and then you go on to ridicule the OP based on your incorrect math.

> They are therefore three times less likely to die from Covid than the general population.

This is based on your incorrect math and I'm quite sure is the incorrect conclusion.

> Schools across Europe have opened.

This isn't Europe, though, it's America. The situation is different here.

> Twenty times as many children died of the flu last year than from COVID.

I'm not sure how to interpret this, but COVID did not start to spread until November/December last year and obviously the numbers were small to start. What do you mean to imply with this stat?

> The CFR of this disease does not meet the threshold for a pandemic

The definition of a pandemic has nothing to do with CFR.

> nor does it merit the level of fear engendered by the press.

I haven't seen any fear-mongering from respected press. Most of the fear mongering I see about COVID is from Fox or similar telling us that the masks are something to be afraid of, due to government overreach or something.

But the normal press mostly just reports the facts. If those facts create fear in you, then I'm sorry, but it's not the press causing that fear.

> It is utterly ridiculous.

Please stop.
Your comments in this thread make you sound really angry and kind of spiteful about Huxley and his "essentialism."

There is going to be a tipping point where things will start to change much quicker.

#1 Price of EVs is going down fast and will continue to decline as the price and weight of batteries drops.

#2 As vehicles on the road shifts to EVs, gas stations will become less and less profitable and the number of gas stations will decline, slowly at first, then very quickly in areas where land values are high and there are more profitable uses for land.

#3 As the number of gas stations decline, the single biggest advantage of ICE vehicles melts away and the fact that EVs are charged at home will become increasingly appealing. Gas stations will be around for a long time, but they will be increasingly scarce.

Obviously, we're nowhere close to the above happening now, but if 50% of cars sold are EV, the economics around ICE vehicles will change massively. There are a lot of other bits here too, ICE vehicles require lots of maintenance and dealerships will start to struggle as well with lower sales.

This is going to happen slowly at first, then it is going to happen very quickly once the economics and benefits of owning gas powered cars starts to break down.
Such an incentive problem is easy to fix. Simply put the people who do the work at the company in charge. Their incentives are aligned to doing the work well, keeping the business stable, and developing a healthy culture.

It's most definitely US and Canada centric. I've lived and worked in many places around the world, and in no other place would you get the "friend" treatment when you go to a store or restaurant. It just creeps people out because it's obviously fake, and I've always wondered why it doesn't creep out North Americans. I grew up in Canada, and it's always creeped me out when salesmen or waiters come up to me and start talking to me like they're a close friend or something. But everyone else seemed fine with it.

It's particularly infuriating when the waiter comes up and does the "and how is everything today? Good? Steak nicely done?" routine while I'm trying to enjoy my meal or talk with someone.
No, the federal government we have is the result of our outdated, quirky and flawed electoral system, where the votes of certain states are much more valuable than others.
> Blown away by how much they're collecting? Please. We've known about Facebook's fetish for collecting everything they possibly can for years.

Fair, everyone has an approximate idea of how much FB is sucking down about you, but I still get surprised now and then by some of the stuff they do. Like I've always avoided using FB login for anything for obvious reasons, but I never knew that just the act of including a facebook SDK in your app was enough to phone home to that company every time I use it.

That's not entirely true. If you pre-render your pages then there's no server-side Stencil code needed. You just need to serve those pages to the client and they will hydrate.

EDIT: don't understand the downvotes, seeing as we built Stencil. Stencil can definitely be used in a more traditional server-side environment like ASP.Net or PHP
> And it’s tricky to dockerize a PHP app effectively since you typically need multiple processes;

Absolutely. I handle a lot of the devops work at my job and PHP containers are just all around more annoying to build, configure and run than most other languages. Even on modern frameworks like Laravel still have a lot of default assumptions of being hosted on a server all by themselves.

It's weird how a language that gained so much traction for being the easy language to host has become one of the harder ones to deploy in the modern era.
Not sure where you're from, but in many places, "society and government" has not failed people the same way it has in the US. Even within the US there are some places where local and state government have performed much better than places like Florida or NYC.

That is to say, the problem is not, conceptually, "society and government", but instead, the American society and American government we have today. Don't give up! Don't withdraw! Organize and fight to improve the systems that are exacerbating this crisis.
Well, even a cheap 8-bit MCU can do pretty much everything they did in firmware using DDS, so I'm guessing that had a lot to do with it.

I used to be in your camp but after Google had only showed a number of us irrelevant ads for years after years I decided it didn't matter: I don't want to date hot Russian/Taiwanese/Ukrainian/Thai women, I'm not interested in dating elderly women near me - and I'm not interested in dating guys either. Nothing against any of those persons, but I'm happily married after all so even the idea of browsing those sites is crazy to me (not that I used any of them before either).

With that I have almost exhausted the list of ads that Google thought has been relevant for me since I started dating my wife well over a decade ago.

Why they cannot show ads for family holidays, programming conferences, local stores etc I don't know but if I had to guess I'd say they could need some diversity on their teams ;-). (Adding a few married parents with stable marriages and small children should do the trick, but I am not interested and haven't been for a couple of years, I find Google close to disgusting sometimes and whatever technical edge it has has disappeared to the degree that I'm positively surprised to just see sane results like they used to be in 2007.)
As someone living in Minneapolis and owned a business in St Paul Midway where police have actually been defunded I feel no less "defendful" than last year. The police are pretty useless at keeping me personally safe and keeping my property safe,there has been no sudden spike in crime. Guns are essentially an adult nightlight and are rarely used. Shit is not hitting anything, crime is far below where it was in the 90s when Minneapolis was known as Murderapolis and I see no evidence showing it's going to go that way but I read a massive amount of fear mongering online. People bought a ton of bitcoin and thought the price was going up to $100,000...they were wrong.

The vast majority of users don't care about the issues you mention. They don't know what a browser engine is. They don't know what PGP is. They haven't heard of SSH and U2F. And the only opinion they have on cookies is that they want those "We use cookies, is that OK?" banners to go away forever.

These are issues that only developers and the superest of superusers care about. So it's not surprising that HN commenters think they are a big deal.
That is very good advice, thank you. I have anxiety issues, so being able to prep on the terminology and basics actually does give me the incentive to go out to a real class. Which is something I've always wanted to do, but haven't been up to before. It's very difficult for me to productively receive instruction from somebody when I know absolutely nothing about the topic -- it's probably some sort of weird childhood conditioning thing.

At any rate, yes. Your advice is very good :)
My hunch is that this could be the result of subpixel antialiasing. It often creates a sort of fringing around the text, which ideally isn't very apparent... but it takes advantage of separate RGB components. Red text has only one component, so the fringing may have the effect of darkening on one side, and brightening on the other, which can look a little like 3d relief.
