In a better world, JS used to implement convenient web page features like rendering LaTeX or syntax highlighting would be implemented inside the web browser, while JS used to implement web apps would not exist and web apps would just be apps.
In light of how the previous Mozilla CEO was forced out over private contributions to non-profits, do you see Sublime becoming more relevant given the current trend of deplatforming? Do you implement any policies or information assurance protocols that would e.g. prevent differential analysis or deanonymization your contributors by reporters/media? I think people would be more than happy that you charge a small fee for your services if stronger guarantees of privacy can be assured.
Probably a good idea to just do away with social security entirely and leave those wages with their actual owners.
Your phrase "each layer of indirection" made the following analogy pop into my head: eating meat is like using an electron app running in a VM. I suppose "bare metal" would be if we could ourselves photosynthesize, alas.
I think if something is worth showing to people it is worth sharing it without 'Show HN'.

Yeahhh I care enough about this to tell you all that I don't care about this

The article was pretty spot on:

> However, the US has tended to be cavalier about such things.

My real thoughts are that many European cuisine customs are arbitrary and ignorable. Okay, a tradition of end of life pigs eating acorns and drying their meats for 36 months, and then later you found out that there was a certain omega fat created from this process? Yeah, get outta here. To me, this is right up there with Sardinia poisonous maggot cheese.

There is also a possibility that people might like this offbrand version more, taste wise. We are about to fortune cookie Spanish cuisine. (Fortune cookies origins have competing claims from multiple Americans, Japan and China in the same time period and at this point it doesn't matter. Its an American-Chinese-American novelty, yay globalization!)
You still need a fallback solution for cases where the website doesn't work with your version of the standard. Otherwise, users would be very disappointed, and they would switch browsers very quickly.

I like the idea, but the migration path needs some serious thinking.
It's pretty obvious that the fine won't be $500B since it was likely set that high specifically so when it's knocked down it doesn't go to something absurd like $1,000. However, I do hope this sees some traction, especially as Facebook is now fully moving forward with its plan to merge Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook.

Nice, you brought up two markets that have plenty of government involvement.

Neoliberalism as practiced in the United States isn't a good idea. In other countries it's had much more success. For instance, Denmark doesn't have a minimum wage, and has very high labour mobility. A generous social safety net and strong trade unions enables this.

The article isn’t about vegetables being good “for you”.

It’s about a college cafeteria experimenting to reduce carbon emissions and the amount of land required to serve meals:

> Last year, University cafeterias (separate from the colleges) announced a 33% reduction in carbon emissions per kilogram of food purchased, and a 28% reduction in land use per kilogram of food purchased.
It really looks sleek and polished. I have started the free trial, will test it against my websites.

> Set clear expectations

Hard to say from the outside, but it seems they kind of failed at that. I'd suspect that's also something lost in the switch to online: I can easily see how this would be a lot more obviously important for the in-person program than online, where if I interpret the article correctly even some self-organized things happened even earlier in the day and it quickly becomes just another meeting they missed the crucial reference to due to being busy with clearing their schedule for the program.

EDIT: From what other comments have written about it (it primarily being about teaching rules and customs), it also feels like something that doesn't need 1:1 time with staff to replace, but a "go watch this recording now, and understand we are being nice about this now". An intense get-to-know-each-other thing would be a lot harder to replace (because it'd probably require extra 1:1 time between the attendees individually, which remotely is tricky)
>But it's ultimately orthogonal.

There was another vision of devops where it wasn't orthogonal: software engineers would write software to manage itself. Deployment, monitoring, resiliency, etc. would be woven into the application instead of being someone else's problem. Management would be done through APIs instead of config files and shells.

But containerization kind of cleaved the world between "making containers" and "running containers." Even if the same person does both, they don't look much like each other. Distributed systems problems are hard, and usually get outsourced to battle-tested commodity services (k8s, zookeeper, consul, etc) which need their own management. Knowing your own code inside and out doesn't really help you debug a loss of quorum; the consensus protocol is "over there." And the APIs turned out to be so complicated that we built config files and shells for them anyway (e.g. Terraform).
> Where do those fines go?

They aren't fines. They are damages and go to the people affected.

In the case of the $650 million proposed settlement for Facebook proper (The judge in the case already rejected a $550 million settlement agreement as "far too little"), all Illinois Facebook users would get a check for $1000+

By the way, this article is really poorly written. The $5000 * 100 million users is not the way it works. The Illinois law says it is $1000-$5000 per violation, so the few million Illinois Instagram users (I have absolutely no idea how many there are) would be entitled to $1000-$5000 every time Instagram did a facial recognition lookup on them, which could easily cause a total liability to be in the tens or hundreds of billions of dollars.

Facebook fought against their lawsuit for years until it was finally ruled that they would have to go to trial. And now they are settling. That's likely what is going to happen here too. If they can keep it out of the courtroom, they'll pay nothing. If they can't, they'll offer up a few hundred million to make it go away.

That is by no means a hard and fast rule. Consider:

- Alaskan salmon

- Napa Valley Cabernet

- Michigan Cherries

- Georgia Peaches

All of these refer to the places they are produced.

And of course there are examples where the place name has fossilized into the product itself:

- Monterey Jack cheese

- Arkansas gold apples
I wasn't there when that decision was made, so it's hard to say, but there's good reasons we tend to re-implement stuff found in existing open source software: Designing and building our own lets us be faster for our specific use case and gives us the control to fix bugs that are performance related or otherwise. It also means we hold a full understanding of the stack in-house allowing us to fix a lot of things. The most painful bugs for us to fix usually come from things we don't have direct control over, like OpenGL drivers, system libraries, etc.

As a hypothetical example if we used GTK instead and it's rendering implementation was designed to be CPU based - say it's based on direct pixel manipulation by passing around a texture - if we wanted to be performant at high resolutions we'd have to refactor/rewrite large parts of GTK to use GPU rendering instead. That would mean either working with the maintainers to get something they'd be happy merging, then doing the work for all of gtk, or forking gtk ripping out the parts we don't use and just refactoring those. The latter would be significantly less work and the likely choice, so we'd likely end up in the same place as before.
The author is a contributor to Jacobin Magazine which according to Wikipedia "has been variously described as democratic socialist, socialist and Marxist" so it would seem you're spot on.

As far as a critique of the actual paper, it seems to be predicated on the idea that democracy and freedom are synonymous when in fact they're orthogonal concepts. You can have tyrannical democratic structures, in fact that's what the founding fathers sought to combat in the original system they laid out which was less democratic than it is now (e.g. only land owners, people who have skin in the game, can vote).

Note that this study is not a controlled trial. It is measuring 358 people who already were going to use psychedelics, before and after their use.

What is severely missing is any report on incidence of adverse reactions, especially since they have two subsamples, one within traditional contexts and other completely self administered, which I would guess have different strategies on handling those. Anyone who experienced a bad trip can attest that set & setting matters a lot, and psychedelic experiences are far from guaranteed to be curative. For example for people high in neuroticism psychedelics can cause challenging experiences which can increase neuroticism even further. We don't know if those populations were screened out, implicitly or explicitly. [1]

The idea is to make a "best effort" solution. Once it's good enough, it could be tolerable for regular users. The next step would be to offer something new, that Chrome doesn't offer, that's compelling enough for the average person to stick with it despite the occasional hiccup. I don't know what that would be. It could be a genuine privacy guarantee (due to the lack of profit-motive), it could be less bloat and therefore longer battery life on their devices. Or it could be a UX-level rethinking of how a web browser is structured.

Though for semi-enthusiast users (HN readers), who want things to mostly just work but are willing to put up with some minor discomfort for the sake of idealism, that second part may not be needed.
These building analogies only go so far, I think.

There are many different ways that people master a profession, and sure, in the best of all possible worlds people would learn under the guidance of expert mentors who supply "guard-rails" for the work of people they mentor.

In reality, however, that's not always possible. Many of us don't have the benefit of a safety net or benevolent deity, we just wing it, fail, learn, and try again. It's not always pretty, but it works, eventually. Someone who is a Dunning-Kruger poster-boy one year may very well become your MVP a couple years later.

If people don't push the limits of their capabilities (which often means failure), they'll not be able to grow.

This sounds almost like the previous lawsuit (mentioned in the article) that was settled by Facebook for $650 million, which was concerning Facebook’s use of facial recognition, wasn’t noticed by the lawyers of this case. The best they can hope for would be one more settlement that will be a tiny fraction of a percentage of the $500 billion ask. Hopefully they have strong evidence against Facebook’s statement that Instagram doesn’t do facial recognition.
I did say "in general". Champagne is a recent thing. Parmesan still isn't (Parmiggiano-Reggiano is, but come on that's like saying Köln is different from Cologne). In Napa Valley we bought a case of "port". It was good stuff and I'd buy it again, but it's not port anymore than a Pixel is an iPhone.
It implicitly distorts the contribution of agriculture to greenhouse gas emissions relative to other sources. And it ignores the health effects of going meatless.
Well, I can track down examples of similar critical bugs for Chrome, but then again, I guess it would just move the goal posts to another defence round for Chrome.

Some perspective is required to understand RC's decision here.

If you only view this from the perspective of the author, it feels unfair that the RC would impose harsh consequences for not reading an e-mail. In theory, his situation could have been fixed by having the staff carve extra time out of their schedules to individually handle his onboarding at a later time and go through the work of bringing him up to speed with everyone else, right?

Consider this from your own perspective: Have you ever had your manager stop by your desk with a last-minute requirement that they forgot to mention? Or a new feature they forgot to put in the requirements document? How does it feel when they ask "Can't you just take 5 minutes and do this for me?" even though you have other important priorities and you know it will end up taking 1-2 hours out of your already busy schedule? It's not fair that you pay the price for someone else not following procedure. It's not fair that your other work must be de-prioritized just because your boss wants this done ASAP for their own benefit.

That's the problem. Catering to the author is not a zero-cost activity for the organization. The staff is likely already busy sticking to their schedules and working with all of the people who followed the rules and showed up on time. They'd be taking time away from the people who read their e-mail to give 1:1 instruction to the person who did not.

There are second-order consequences to consider, as well. If you start granting exceptions to a new group of people on day 1 for missing meetings and not reading your e-mail, word gets around. You send a signal that meetings are optional, reading e-mail is optional, and skipping required events is okay as long as you follow up with the staff later. From experience, the reality of situations like this is that some people can't be bothered to follow the rules unless there are negative consequences in place. As soon as you send a signal to everyone that there are no consequences, some fraction of your team will start pushing boundaries in more places.

Speaking from experience organizing similar situations: Granting exceptions and doing 1:1 catchup in a program like this is never as easy at it sounds from the other side. It's better to focus on delivering the best experience to the people who follow the rules rather than allocating disproportionate 1:1 time to the people who can't, unless you really have excess idle time or excess staffing. In reality, it's far more likely that everyone is already overloaded and overworked.
My favorite power outage story is the 1998 San Francisco / Peninsula outage. Contractors were working on a substation so they disconnected the 115 kV line and strapped it to ground to protect against stray current. When they were done, they powered up the line. Unfortunately, they forgot to remove the ground straps.

It turns out that the power grid doesn't like it when you connect 115 kV directly to ground. By the time the ground straps vaporized, the fluctuations caused all the generators in San Francisco to go offline, cutting power to a million people.

Bringing the power grid back up took hours. Among other problems, they discovered that the SCADA modems in several substations ran off AC without backup, so they couldn't access the substations remotely when the power was down. Oops.

Nanocents. Although not complete, it is an attempt to allow micro payments on the internet. It allows you to pay one cent on the internet fairly efficiently - most of the money ends up with the payee. This is not a single site payment thing, you can pay one cent (or more) at any site accepting nanocents.

While this may not seem especially important, it provides a way for responsible sites and services to avoid using AdSense and other intrusive systems that track user.

Tracking provides a way to target users with tailored information. This is the ultimate problem. If I can target you with one message and someone else with an opposing divisive message then I can disrupt social systems, including but not limited democracy itself.

Cool. If you want to do that the easy way, use an electronics circuit simulator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_electronics_circu...)

If you want a further challenge, write compiler optimization passes that recognize bit arrays a being bytes, figure out what parts are buses, binary adders, etc. and see how fast you can get this to run.

It probably would be fairer to do this on somebody else’s version of this, but I guess doing it on code you know already is hard enough, if you want to get compiler passes that likely would work on other simulated hardware, too.

Mutagen – Fast file sync and network forwarding for remote development
I have to disagree. In my case, bookmarks are the place where "tabs" go to die. I use Tree Style Tab addon, and tabs (mostly self-)organize as I surf, do research on different topics and whatnot, and I jump in with a window title changing addon or grouping parent tab. I cannot even imagine using a browser without it. But bookmarks do not preserve any of that relational data. Session managers are also luckluster solution at best, because merging a few tabs, a tree or window with existing session is clunky at best. After many years of frustration, I have started working on my own tab syncher/organizer.

Bookmarks are only the coldest of storage for me, with exception of bookmarks bar where I place often accessed web sites.
