At work we instrument our puppeteer (headless chrome scripted) tests so that it basically sumps out the Dom and other important rendering things. I then wrote a tool that lets one step through the dump with an interactive timeline showing the current state of the page along with console events, user generated events, etc.

I got contactless cards about 10ish years ago, then when those renewed, it was back to stripe (and embossed) only; then chip and stripe and embossed; then chip and stripe but mostly flat; now this year I'm getting chip and stripe and contactless and apparently only Amex is embossing for carbon copy imprinters.

Better off for the user but no doubt worse off for corporate profits. The redesign seems to be clearly better at inserting adverts and tracking the user. They also seem to be making a big effort to remove 3rd party links. These days most reddit posts are links to reddit hosted content or are news articles where no one reads the article.

The only way they can be on the same level is if they are not labeled based on the race of the owner.

Damn, it really feels like something is about to be lost here. As a child, crawling the Argos catalogue, day dreaming about saving up for some tacky product was somewhat wholesome. At Christmas I remember arguing over looking through the book at Christmas!

So far I have unblocked ethicalads.io, which has ads mainly on readthedocs.io but I recently noticed their ads on some blog site.

With so many controversies about UN (WHO about masks; UN about Taiwan; Russia and China having veto; UN support for Khmer Rouge and so on and on and on), UN does not matter much. It would be better for the world if UN was disposed and replaced with something meaningful.

In contrast to most of the comments here, I like this.

Earlier this year, I watched the first episode of Trigger Warning with Killer Mike (Netflix). In this episode he tried to spend a few days putting money only into black-owned businesses... It was a hard experience for him, and since then I have tried to be conscious of where my money goes, and if I have the option of selecting a black owned business intend to do so, and I am happy that there is an easy way for me to do that.
Ohhh by “it” you mean lifespan not quality of life or standard of living which are the relevant measurements of what we should be gaining from productivity. I didn’t realize you were going to nit pick a couple of very specific examples among many.

p.s.
also didn’t expect you to nit pick examples I gave that I thought would better serve your original point: big life changing stuff has improved. I expected us to move on to discuss what is of major value that we should expect from productivity.
They’re getting hammered from the left for insufficient moderation of content, and from the right for overly aggressive moderation of content. It’s a lose-lose where the only real option is to remove extraneous features that enable users to upload content visible to others. Even if there was a standard of moderation that would satisfy everyone, there’s too much to moderate.

I think there are few policies more likely to (further) destabilize American politics than cash payments to people with a certain skin color.
Situations, where you don't make cohesive story, but stop and think "What the hell I'm doing?", aren't uncommon either.

Is i18n deteriorating at a global scale?

I’m seeing more and more nonsense machine translations and systemic errors in manual translations over few years in my language. Once I’ve seen a story about a corporate turning down “should” and “should not” swapped in documentation as a non reproducible issue, other times I see semi-sensical expressions that has 1:n relationships between English and Translated that needs context to select but randomly thrown around, probably as a best effort from translators.

e.g. [“X had occurred”, “Please do X now”, “Use this to do X”, “Choose which you want for X”, “Do X for this event”]

Ask HN: Compare Landing Pages
Hi,

I got some feedback that my landing page does not explain my concept very good and that the design isn't that great.

My old landing page: www.adthusiasts.com

New design/concept: www.adthusiasts.ca

I am interested which landing page you find better and explains the idea of my service better. Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks,
John

> People who are far from independently wealthy write and create art right now despite never having any realistic expectation of receiving a dime for it

So rich people and hobbyists - everything in between is gone.

> if your main reason for writing is the misguided hope that it will make you rich then you probably don't have anything worthwhile to say

I don’t think all creators are just hoping to get rich - how about make a living doing something they are passionate about?

Corollary: When youtube allowed creators to monetize content, did the quality of content on YouTube improve? Absolutely it did. So many educational channels only exist because they can make a living doing it. Pre-monetization it was just hobbyists.

Similarly copyright enables authors, artists (and youtubers for that matter) to make a living creating.

> Copyright is sowing conflict, crippling our technology, and impoverishing our public domain

Take that kind of crap to /r/im14andthisisdeep you clearly have no bearing in reality. There is a reason every country in the world recognizes and strives to upholds copyright.
Your definition of racism is incorrect.

Racism is a hierarchical caste system based on a pseudo-scientific classification of people into races. The dominant form of racism, invented in Europe and exported all over the world via colonization and slavery, is built on the concept of a biologically superior "white" race. This form of racism, also known as white supremacy, is deeply embedded in the societies and institutions of European countries and their former colonies. The United States are no different.

In the United States specifically, Black people are in a special position, because their very existence as a group is the result of colonization and slavery. Their existence is a physical reminder of the racist origins of the US. And the injustice they continue to endure in the United States today - including of course police violence, but also housing discrimination, discrimination in the workplace, excessive incarceration, restricted voting rights, restricted access to healthcare and education, etc. - are a reminder of the fact that racism is still, today, deeply embedded in US institutions.

One consequence of this, in the US, is that there are few Black-owned businesses relative to the population, and as a result, Black people have less access to equity. Because equity is the primary mechanism for wealth increase in the US, and is taxed very favorably compared to wages, this means that Black people are not able to benefit from economic growth at the same rate as the rest of population. This is a self-reinforcing problem because a Black entrepreneur is much less likely to receive an investment from a bank or VC than a white entrepreneur of similar experience and risk profile.

This is a widely known problem, and one commonly proposed solution, if the US finance system won't invest in Black businesses, is for Black people to "invest in themselves", so to speak, by choosing to buy from Back-owned businesses whenever possible. So this is primarily about helping Black people support each other, in the absence of US institutions not supporting them appropriately.
Not quite. It seems like creators have until September 28 to choose to publish existing community contributions, and if they don't, it seems like they will all disappear. That's how I interpret, "You have until September 28, 2020 to publish your community contributions before they’re removed."
The US government also has a similar distinction:

https://www.sba.gov/category/business-groups/minority-owned
Given that the press was only allowed to publish positive propaganda about the state of the war effort, all of that could have be explained away as some temporary supply disruption.
> but your notions of what theft is are based on an obsolete idea of what property can be

You mean based on internationally recognized standards and laws, unlike your stance which is based on hot air. Seriously, where do you even come up with this stuff? Are you one of those sovereign citizen types?
Definitely had it happen more than once. Photographic filters. Clothing. Many items I consider buying have review comments relating to fakes. Plus it's well documented Amzn deliberately comingles inventory. So I buy my filters from B&H and my North Face from...North Face. Hopefully they aren't using Amazon fultillment.
IMO, subtitles from community contributions are a good way for me to enjoy foreign YouTube contents. Removing that is a bad news for people like me.

There are also a petition about this: https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-don-t-remove-community-c...
But I doubt that it would reverse YouTube's decision.
Documentation of security controls means very little, yes having a framework with a suite of policies and procedures is important. But a proper SOC 2 review is all about actually seeing it in place.

We do a deep dive, where we understand all of the security controls, we then test the design of these security controls through reviewing security configurations within the systems themselves. Then testing the effectiveness of these controls.

So yes, we review documentation and then perform an independent review of the security measures/controls in place. For instance, understanding how batch processes are configured, then testing that the appropriate security controls in relation to batch processes operated effectively.
I did not infer that from the OP’s comment, but in any case, I don’t know the specifics of their arrangement or whether they had been a commercial customer or not. Last time I checked Nginx had been doing fine selling itself for half a billion.

But more abstractly, I don’t actually agree with that sentiment. I see more of a responsibility to give back in the form of patches and collaboration than throwing $ at the problem. I see the nginx approach of open source simply as a business tactic no different from Windows Home/Pro customer segmentation except Home is free for tactical reasons to kill off other competition. It is a calculated business move; if your business model sucks-—which it obviously did not in nginx case—-does not imply others are acting less than ethically or they should pay you out of pity. (That said it might be strategically important for them to keep your head above water and survive for their own benefit as their vendor, but that’d be a different angle.)

I suppose the difference between free software vs open source is also relevant to this discussion, and I could relate to your sentiment when facing the former much more than the latter.

>I don't "just accept" that I'm going to die

But you are going to die. This[1] is a very thorough walkthrough. Wanting to live longer than your parents is one thing, but "forever" is a long time. I'd go as far as to say that if you think you can live forever, you don't understand forever.

>no justice in the universe.

Justice is an idea created by humans.

Wanting to improve yourself and the world around you is a central human trait imo, but there are some things we will never completely fix. One of them is death.

Well, that comment of yours says about you more than about what it meant to say, if we want to continue these ad hominem arguments. But we should not use these arguments in polite and constrictive conversation or debate. (Edit: typos)

I wish we could just set a fixed monthly budget (e.g. $40/mo) and divide that among all the creators we wish to support. Then when we come across someone whose work we like, the question is simply "do I want to support this person's work?", and if so, they get a fraction of our budget.

Right now, rewards effectively make every membership a custom membership that requires users spend extra time considering their support and dollar amount. This type of decision doesn't scale when we all want to support dozens of creators.

Show HN: Bad router list. A list of manufacturers to avoid
I get asked this question now and again, which router should I buy, and it’s so confusing to the average non tech person. The state of home routers is terrible with updates and poor support. So I bought nearly £2000 worth of routers over 18 months and started trying to find out which were any good. The ones to avoid became this list/site. It’s got affiliate links for uk, but the choices are good for anywhere. If it helps someone make a better decision and avoid being hacked or spied on, then I will feel like it’s been worth it. :)
Then why the low valuation!?
This is actually the definition of racism packaged as anti racism. I don't get it, pointing out a business is black owned means you differentiate based on skin colour aiding discrimination.
