Thank you! Chrome extensions are definitely a great way to get familiar with Chrome's APIs and what's possible in the browser, as well as Javascript in general. I think the boilerplate and setup is a big barrier to entry for a lot of people since it seems quite tedious at first glance, so that was a big driving factor in creating this.
Portland's facial recognition ban is a major win, especially against Amazon
As the article itself is undated, it's hard to tell how old this info is.

Looking at some of the follow up comments at the bottom of the article, they're from 2017 onwards.

So, the article itself may be becoming dated at this point.

The blog post doesn’t explain what, if anything, is different about how the market works.

From the name, I expected that it would require holding an investment for a minimum period. But I see no evidence of that elsewhere on the site. I do see listing requirements that supposedly require companies to have a long term focus. But then elsewhere I see that all securities in the S&P 500 and the RUSSEL 2000 index will be included.

So I’m very confused? What even is this thing? Did I miss a concise explanation somewhere?
No, you don't need $20 programmers. I played with attiny85 microcontrollers in my pet projects. A $2 Arduino Nano is all it takes to program the chip.

That's something I'm interested in writing about as well. This is my first true digital product so I'm learning a lot along the way. I wrote a little bit about the Product Hunt launch results for it here: https://ryanfitzgerald.ca/blog/first-product-hunt/. Definitely more to come!
English language Wikipedia will clearly have places in culture and politics. For a start it shuns advertising, because of the perverse incentives it brings. Some newspapers (Daily Mail, UK, to name but one) are specifically censured as prospective sources because they are so partisan as to be unreliable. Now Wikipedia has adopted a policy on pronouns used by authors which amounts to "accept what people say about themselves", and that is the moment when the question about politics gets asked.
Quoted from the article:

"It's all secure, and when they pass, the next of kin receives the login and that person will get to read the deceased person's confession. I got 8,000 uploads in one week and it's just gone from there. There's some really funny stuff, but I would definitely contact the police if something was posted on the site that I felt was a serious crime that needed to be reported."

If he can read it directly like that, it's not really that secure (or at least private), is it? I understand the law enforcement argument here so I'm not quite sure how I feel about this.
It wasn't due to a rushed patch - the patch just gave the Project Zero researcher an idea for where he should look.

There's no real way of being sure if it is being exploited. I guess no exploits had been detected a couple of days ago, but it's not uncommon for the way it gets detected it for someone to find the exploit software somewhere. That's how Project Zero found these iOS issues for example[1].

Yeah, and we shouldn’t feed animals soy. I’m for that 100%. So we should fight for that. If everyone stops eating meat and starts eating soy we won’t be growing much less of it. We just transfer the problem from one place to another.
Ah, memories. I wrote a proposed multiprocessing extension for Genesis, et. al. which Apple didn’t adopt. Instead they went in different direction for the multiprocessing library.

Yeah, I think it was in a thread on r/askscience with some nurses replying basically stating that the methods of treatment for infected patients has evolved as understanding has grown.

It is true that most cows aren’t grass fed. But that’s what we need to focus on. And not focusing on eating soy. Let’s fix the commercial animal husbandry to do it properly without shortcuts. Sure the meat will be more expensive but then naturally people will eat less of it.
Note that this is specific to the UK. In other European countries like Spain, death rates have been rising (with a few weeks lag from case rates). They just are nowhere near the first wave, when death rates were more than 10x what they are now but case rates were lower than today and because of severe under-testing.
FWIW-- I have never used either of those extensions (or products), but at least Grammarly (based on this alone) is truly awful. I think they're still violating user privacy, here's the excerpt from the bottom of the extension page from Grammarly:

> Additionally, we collect payment information if you choose to use our Premium services, and we automatically collect technical information, including log data and usage information, for legitimate business interests, such as improving our product and providing customer support.

You can bet that means they're building a credit profile of people and likely selling the information.

> We may share any of the information that we collect through the add-on with our third-party service providers in order to provide you with services, as required by law, to protect our rights or the rights of others, with your consent, or as otherwise legally permitted.

I'd really like to call out the "or as otherwise legally permitted at the end" which means essentially says that the previous list of things is a bullshit hand-picked subset of the set "legally permitted to perform." When I change it to:

> We may share any of the information that we collect through the add-on with our third-party service providers as legally permitted.

It all feels a bit different; which is to say, unless the law says its explicitly illegal for us to share information we collect, we can and will share it. For something that literally monitors everything you write/think, your payment information (probably invoices/site/etc), and then shares it with anyone the fucking please... I'm gonna say that's a big "terrible for security" from me, dawg.

Where I live it's illegal to walk around with a beer/booze in public. But whenever I want to drink a beer in public, I just walk around with it like any other drink. My behavior looks so normal, people just assume it's not a beer, helping me out even more is the fact is "it's illegal" so people's good intentions/will further push the idea out of mind "I don't want to think they're breaking the law, they don't look like they would."

I would say after reading what's literally on the page and thinking about it: the Grammarly extension authors are pretty proudly walking around with a beer right now...

Mozilla being like the friend who invites someone to your home to help tighten up some loose wobblywomps on the porch; but that person then drinks your beer, drinks their beer, goes through your fridge eats what they want, starts making their own batch of beer at your house, and then finally partially adjusts your wobblywomps. Departing, the drunken fat stranger looks to you and says "it was great doing business with you and I be back everyday this week to tighten your wobblywomps."

I wonder if part of that is you telling your grandmother "this device is safe and you can do anything you want." My whole family uses Windows and Android and no one has any problems. I wonder how many companies have data mined your grandma's contacts. She probably clicks yes on every permission prompt because she thinks the device is "safe".

> Speaking mutually-beneficial: Sign-in with Apple, a "gimped" browser, developer restrictions, forcing IAP to go through Apple. Yes, those all all very clearly benefit Apple. But they also benefit users.

How does something like devaluing PWAs in the browser benefit me? How is +30% on something as simple as a payment request benefitting me? Consolidating your logins behind Sign-in with Apple has risks too. If you end up being an outlier and getting banned by Apple you're going to have a bad time.

> Genuine question: Apple makes no secret of the fact that they exert a large degree of control over the ecosystem, and they have a generous return policy. If you don't hate Apple, why don't you just buy an Android device and allow those of us who like iOS the way it is to live in peace? Why are you forcing your desires on us?

Because an app that can't get onto or can't be successful on the app store isn't going to get built, so Apples' restrictions bleed over to Android users both as apps that don't get built and as apps that are built to have feature parity between mobile platforms. You'll also have companies targeting average revenue per user, so the +30% charged by closed app stores means I'm subsidizing those users if I sign up via the website.
Fair enough, ossification of rules and too much beurocracy can kill a project. People already posit that rule explosion is linked to a decline in wikipedia.

> Re: deletionism, it includes this:

I think usually deletionism more implies following proper procedure and due process to delete things (including speedy deletion if the page fits the criteria). I think the code of conduct doc is more concerned with deletions as targeted abuse of power, which is a bit different. Deciding what should be deleted and should not be is something highly vested in the local community and i doubt anyone would want to try to attempt to centralize it
This is new and exciting but we must understand the use case. For solo developers on projects with a huge amount of github stars this might make sense. It enables you to work on the project full time.

The tailwind project model seems like it would pay better. The profit amount might make for sense for the pretty popular project vs the extremely popular project. It's a compromise because you stop working on the core project and start building these additional businesses that take time/effort away the project.

Corporate backing would make sense but enterprise has picked react. Vue lives because it's a great framework that is easily assessible not because it started as a corporate sponsored project with a popularity boost buildin.

> This is such a strange trend. Organizations are adopting American style progressive ethos, but not via their explicit values but via inserted HR processes that seem to be en vogue.

Exactly. I think it's obviously dangerous to allow the corporate class to take the moral high ground. Apple will gladly publicly support any progressive social program of the week - as long as there is no need for _any_ material change - but will still use slave labour to produce their products.[1] This is now 100% universal.

Police violence towards people of color and many aspects of the justice system (sentencing, etc) are examples of current day systemic racism.

No that is not an example of systemic racism. If you look up the data separated by race, you’ll see that it’s also factually not true. It doesn’t matter how many times BLM or other politically or profit motivated entities shout their slogan, that doesn’t make it true.

It’s weird to me that you refuse to watch the video. I’m not able to identify with people who reject new information that may disrupt their worldview. I watch/listen to people I disagree with all the time. I have learned a lot from them.

Building my own right now. I detest web development, but wanted a place where I can easily share things with many people with indefinite flexibility. I don't care about it so much as a resume, but I do plan to create some kind of resume 'about' page.

Yeah that's where it becomes a bit difficult, I find. Although the kit focuses on Chrome Extensions, you can actually convert the result to a Firefox extension with some minor tweaks (and I'm hoping to add some tools to further simplify this).

I had a similar experience with Firefox and I think for some, it's hard to justify that extra effort (from development all the way to publishing) given the current market share of Chrome in comparison.
The last paragraph was a bizarre pivot to China, which no apparent justification for the analogy. As a totalitarian state, China would be the first to suppress and oppress philosophers. No freedom of thought. They'd put Plato to death much faster than Athens did to Socrates.
whoa there by normies I meant people outside of the hackernews crowd, and while I agree with Linus on Apple's hardware being way sturdier back in the day this was a fleeting era for apple.

He does run linux on the macbook so my point was just that current apple is not something he stands by nor would buy for status/reliability reasons as Thinkpads and many other durable machines now exist.

The new macOS Big Sur is very importantly focused on "the average intellect user" that ends up on iOS and iPad and trying to have the same system of permission popups and touch friendly UI's as well as restrictions to application runtimes going as extreme as break many devtools.

While there will be fixes one day for all this and likely a second golden age for apple, unless you are stuck video editing with final cut and your workflow does not allow you to change OS theres few things left for the "era of pro users that got mac for work"

I'm still likely to buy the arm macs they should be releasing here soon cuz I do want to be on the front lines of the demise of Intel and I already have a Surface Pro X but the market of american programmers with macbooks is fading and fast, hopefully for good, as iOS development continues to move away from being MacOS exclusive.

I'm suspicious having seen how the GDPR is effectively being circumvented by making nonessential cookies more or less opt-out, and by making the process so annoying that the average person doesn't care enough to do it. It's a lot easier to enforce "not allowed" than "do it in a user-friendly way".

Plus, in a public place, how do you only apply facial recognition technology to a single person? It seems like in most cases, you must first apply it to everyone else nearby to discriminate them from anyone who opted in.
I may be naive and misunderstanding, but if a private entity is using facial recognition on their property, that doesn't appear to be prohibited? Like if a gym wanted to do a face scan to "log you in" that seems like that'd be permissible? I'm not a lawyer. I found the actual draft:

"This is the sort of lazy internet commenting"

That's not really fair. High powered microwave transmission is dangerous.

You're claiming near field, non radiating, and so, safe.

Fair enough, but you're also claiming long distance. That requires a little more explanation. They call it "near field" for a reason, right?
Hopefully I’m living in a place where this pronoun thing have not been imported, but if someone is ever trying to bully me with his invented words (acknowledging self-declared gender with existing ones is totally fine, using "hir" is not), I’ll ask for reciprocity and I’ll impose the use of a made up pronouns that contains some of my favorite writing systems (they’re all logographic) and a few Unicode characters outside BMP. If they don’t want to play that game, why should I play theirs? It will be an easy way to uncover a lot of hypocrisy.
I'm in the UK and am happy to report the values are not American. Ask some Aussies or Kiwis and I'm sure they'd say the same.

I'd also remark that perhaps you wouldn't be so quick to comment in such a trite way if Wiki had instead make a statement on respecting people's sexualities. Once controversial, now widely accepted as a facet of who people are, and originally a darling cause of the left. It's recognised as a human rights issue, which is to say it has outgrown reasonable politics. I look forward to gender identity doing the same.
A problem with opt-in data collection is that whenever the law allows a user to opt in, businesses will require the user to opt in.

A ban on facial recognition doesn't mean much if every hotel, gym, and pizza parlor has a shrink-wrap contract or cookie banner [1] forcing you to opt in to their data collection if you want a room or a pizza.

> Except that the universal adoption of sports would result in a net positive. The same cannot be said for pornography.

By adoption of sports, do you mean universal participation or spectation?

The former I suppose would be a net positive, if you limit the requirement to just making sure everyone does at least some physical activity every day, but if you mean that everyone should be required to play some sport as a significant pastime the negatives start reducing the net positive.

If the latter, I must vehemently disagree. We would probably be better off banning spectator sports entirely rather than making everyone watch.

It's too simplistic and disingenuous to present it that way. Last month there was Fornite in the App Store and no option to sideload.

Right now I count 34 Adobe apps in the Apple's phone App Store. I'm very confident if this precedent is set Adobe will have their own app store and very likely will not have anything but a placeholder in Apple's App Store.
