OK, the trailer sold me. Seriously. I was skeptical about Tailwind, but the trailer makes it feel like you're my kind of person, and I want to try your product.

Also credit to a post above, which acknowledges the "it feels wrong but it makes sense in the end" sense. I'd dismissed Tailwind in the past over the feeling that it was the Wrong Thing. This convinces me to give it a try the next time I'm starting on something.
I worked on this project and can tell you this is absolutely false. All user info is obfuscated and we have procedures in place to ensure we do not have access to information without express consent from the user. Furthermore, we dont even use surescript anymore. Lastly, all data is walled off from amazon. There is no way for amazon to even know if you are signed up for pharmacy.It is a separate account with a separate cart and all amazon metrics are blocked from this ecosystem.
Thanks ayewo!

It is indeed Jekyll. The Poole theme. I've written a little about how to set up something similar here: https://josh.works/build-a-personal-site-with-jekyll

It's not super customized, but I've done a lot of work over the years to just make it work well for me.

Jekyll is a super cool tool.
it is unclear from the article what sites were censored in Poland and by whom (and i couldn't figure it out in the sourced paper). However, if in fact the Polish govt has censored any human rights websites, I feel like that should be bigger news there.
AFAIK Poland only blocks access to certain gambling sites, which are publicly listed here:

I think there may be some legitimate truth to this statement that you are not seeing.

Donald Trump is far from the only bad actor we've had in our history, and things weren't running smooth as silk before he arrived on the scene, but you sure wouldn't know it from the way people talk.

> Of course it is!

No, definitely not “of course”. Creativity is not defined by the technology or even the result, but is a... well, property of a process. I - personally - can snap a video without being creative at all, and the video may happen to be good. Like how a talking parrot can drop a joke at an appropriate moment, without understanding it at all ;)

It all really depends on what goes in one’s head as they do something.

That is - to recognize if the kid (or whoever, age does not matter here) is creative just talk to them and learn what the heck are they thinking. Like asking to share what’s their passion for that hobby, or teach how they do it - even the most basic replies would quite probably involve some descriptions of the logical processes running in one’s head.

(I do not mean to argue if your kid having a passion for recording videos is creative or not. Just saying that it’s not universally applicable “of course”.)
To be fair at least this time the instruction set is (for the most part) shared with other vendors

And then the next 10 years you get pure profit? That's still an ROI and significant one.

What specifically would cause a $75M loss? As you said, cloud is not bullet proof.
There is a scene in Apocalypse Now where Kurtz says: "We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

> What is stopping us from demanding a legislative solution that requires Apple to open up the iOS platform to allow installation of apps outside its sanctioned ecosystem?

Apple is already tying two products together (App Store commissions and iOS). I think the answer is to have a court opinion declare that app store commissions are not naturally related to iOS. It shouldn't be too hard to prove this given that third-party developers are not the same developers that created iOS and that iOS is a fully-featured enough to be considered a general computing device.

There's already legal precedence for this with United Sates v. Microsoft where Microsoft tried to ban Netscape and Java from being installed on Windows [1]. Epic could/should be using that in their lawsuit in order to be allowed to run on iOS. The App Store is Apple's territory, and that's fine. iOS isn't the App Store and the user should have the right in deciding what code runs on the device they purchased.

> Tying is the practice of selling one product or service (ie: commissions from App Store) as a mandatory addition to the purchase of a different product or service (ie: iPhone). In legal terms, a tying sale makes the sale of one good (the tying good) to the de facto customer (or de jure customer) conditional on the purchase of a second distinctive good (the tied good). Tying is often illegal when the products are not naturally related. In the United States, most states have laws against tying, which are enforced by state governments. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice enforces federal laws against tying through its Antitrust Division. [2]

Maybe it is part of the curriculum because you ended up with Murdoch. That guy has been running the show since the 60s.
Was being sarcastic.
It's coming from people that don't share his politics.

You won't find anyone on this board more quick to defend censorship along political lines.
We've been seeing these blog posts for over a decade and this doesn't offer anything particularly new.

It would be nice to see one that actually offered constructive and workable legal solutions other than "make iPhones general computing devices" even though the concept has no meaning in law and would bleed into other industries.
Imagine a 2t object falls into the hole and then a 3t object. Can that be differentiated than what would have happened had there been only one 5t object using mass alone?

Only if mass conservation is broken, and current theory does not predict this (where does the extra mass go to?). Same applies for the other 'no-hair' theorem properties - spin and charge.
Ok, how do I um...get that money??

I wouldn't say that data/template proximity is required or desirable in React.

Yes, you _can_ do fetching and rendering in a single function, but that doesn't mean you should.

I will even go a step further and say that, in React, there is no data-part. React is nothing but a really powerful templating system.

(EDIT: It's actually more nuanced, but this is how I approach it.)

The data-layer is usually handled by another library like Redux, Apollo Client or React-Query/useSWR.
> I define that as AAA size games that require significant GPU horsepower, 70GB+ disk space, and a dedicated handheld game controller.

Nintendo seems to do just fine with iPad-like (or lower) specs on the Switch. Breath of the Wild is one of the bulkier games, weighing in at ~14GB, Super Mario Odyssey is ~6GB; these are widely acclaimed as some of the best games on any platform.
The problem is that the scales are completely unbalanced when it comes to information vs misinformation.

There is political and financial incentives at play to spread misinformation. It isn't as simple as "the best ideas win" as most social media platforms make it REALLY easy to manipulate the narrative.

For example, if some politician will negatively impact my business, I can hire a BUNCH of people to go out and write nasty comments about that politician. I can create fake media pages to support whatever narrative I want against that candidate. I can do all of this for relatively little money. We see this phenomenon come up time and time again when it comes to review websites. Most people "in the know" don't trust amazon reviews because they know companies astroturf them like crazy.

Climate change is a place where this also happens a LOT. Man made climate change is a nearly undisputed fact in the scientific world, yet roughly half of Americans either don't believe in it or are unsure about it. Why? Because there's big incentives behind the fossil fuel industry to spread FUD and misinformation about climate change. On the flip side, there's just not the money or resources available to climate scientists to correct that narrative.

I can buy that "some censorship doesn't work" however, it appears that a free for all is equally broken.
My point is that there are always going to be equally possible alternative theories which make any problem "unsolvable".

I could make a theory that says that gravity works exactly as we think it does, except in about 1000 years will cease to function entirely - and that theory would be equally consistent with observation. I would be equally correct in saying that we do not yet posses the technology (time travel) to falsify this theory.

We have to rely on some sort of proxy for the simplicity or elegance of the theory in order to preclude hypotheses like the above. If we find an elegant solution to the BHIP that uses existing QM + GR (which are empirically verified), then that seems like a pretty good resolution even if it can't be observationally verified directly at a black hole yet.
TL;DR. If you plan on giving a child a phone, make it very clear that it's not "her" phone - just as like with cars when they are learning to drive - and that you are lending it for certain activities, and that you can impound it whenever you feel like, for whatever reason. Also, that they should expect a certain level of privacy invasions.

I have 3 daughters from my first marriage (ranging from 26 y/o to 2). When they were growing up I was a single father, and their phones went from brick-like nokias to Androids in the time it takes you to snap your fingers.

At the time I didn't give it much thought, and when I realized what was going on the harm was done. I really wish I'd knew better; I should had.

My youngest daughter is 7 now, from my 2nd marriage. And phones in particular and technology in general is something I give a lot of thought, and have discussed at length with my partner (Thankfully, we're on the same wavelength here).

She is also really creative; she was learning violin before lockdown, and while in lockdown besides her violin classes, she took singing and piano lessons (Obviously, at the level a 7 y/o can take then over Zoom / Meet).

We only let her watch around 1 hour of TV per day. Being strict here is a constant struggle, but we keep it more around that amount of time.

She also plays with the computer (Or phone, or tablet) "only" 1 hour a day, with the tablet or phone restricted to only weekends, and a particular game - Star Wars Battlefront - only 2 days a week.

Besides that, something that we haven't been able to manage - namely because it can go from 15 minutes a day to several hours - is phone usage for video calls. But I have to admit that I struggle here because I don't have a decided opinion regarding what to do here. She does sometimes hour + video calls with her grandmother on the mother side; they are very close, and due to COVID she haven't seen her since February - she lives 1500 Km away, with travel almost impossible in this country (Argentina) - when usually she would travel frequently, say every two months. Same happens with her friends that she hardly sees nowadays. and I gotta reckon that the video calls are usually on the creative side, for instance with a friend that lives in the same town as my MIL they would play using local toys similar to legos.

Both my wife and I dread the time when we'll eventually have to give her a phone,because just like TV and tablets and computers, it's going to be a constant struggle, made worst by the "but my friends do it / have it" line of reasoning.

As we do want to be prepared for this, what we decided is that, would the moment arrive, we are not going to give her "her phone". We are going to lend her a phone, that is not going to be hers, and she will be allowed to use under certain circumstances. And we would have the right to inspect that phone whenever we fell like it.

The reasoning here is that from our point of view, having a phone is not very different from having a car. If you would not give a 10 y/o a car, why would you give her a phone in an uncontrolled way?

Wish us luck.
It sounds like whatever white person wrote this will not be satisfied about anything done in China. Typical. They’re just grandstanding and projecting.

Meanwhile, the Republicans have mediocre percentages of women in their leadership group. And even worse, they have an even worse number of minorities in their entire group.

They claim to be the land of equality and freedom, but suspiciously, they don’t put minority people and women into leadership positions.

They don’t even try to be about equality and opportunity themselves, but yet, here they are trying to find fault with another country. Hypocrites.
“Literally fascism” is a little overused. I’m not saying governments and corporations teaming up is a good thing, but let’s not use fascism here, that will only make it harder to recognise actual fascism.

If corporations and a heavily authoritarian government team up to crack down on anyone who they believe is the slightest treat to the success of some imagined single-minded Volk, then yes we can talk about fascism.

Until that time I think you can at best put down an argument for why you believe this censorship situation will be a slippery slope that ends in fascism.
Mozilla was supposed to be about the Internet and people, not solely about the Web and the flavor of technofetishism most closely associated with it. Mozcorp's overemphasis on the Web over the last ~10 years manifests in ways that benefit foremost the technological middle class—it's too concerned with impressing existing and aspiring professional webdevs whose interests lie in performative acts of resume-driven development on GitHub and Twitter. It'd be great if that group's influence could be deprioritized and Mozilla finally focused its work on how to better empower non-developers at home and in the office. This won't happen.
Because then you will have to shut your mouth when Google delists you, youtube deplatforms you and Amex/Visa/MasterCard refuse to do business with you just because something, perfectly legal, that you said. Maybe it is OK for you, for me it is bone chilling scary.

I can totally buy into the idea that breathing a lot of oxygen can give you a significant temporary health benefit. But my understanding of the telomere length thing was that it's a vast oversimplification of the issues that build up with aging to just make it about them. And that a lot of people think just making them longer will cause cancer.

I am a proponent of the SENS approach.

Personally I view this work as psuedo-science. I flagged the other submission that had a more sensational headline.
It's not a thing. A few zealots in the OpenStreetMap community want the literal words "OSM Contributors" to appear on any map that uses OpenStreetMap and they complain loudly anytime someone publishes a map that doesn't meet their made-up standard. Facebook maps attribute OpenStreetMap legally.

> let the laws clearly define that.

If there is one thing about laws is that they're messy and complex, a reflection of the world we live in. Our culture and values constantly evolve, and the laws are normally following those so something legal or illegal at this moment might not be in the future.
Worth mentioning here is that this wasn't just about the "sneaky" fix for battery degradation, it was about doing this without notice, and having internal tooling that would deny a replacement (even at full retail price) if the battery was above an arbitrary health threshold (but still low enough to cause throttling).

Before Apple changed their tune, if you read about this, and went into an Apple store for a replacement, they absolutely would not give you one, even if you paid full retail for it.

This left people in a no-win situation. The only way you could get a working device was to have a third party replacement done (and kill your warranty) or shell out for a new phone.
Alas, Facebook was founded 4 years too late for even the younger Bush.

I'm not sure I understand your concerns. Why would it not be OK to receive the same compensation for the same work?
Competition implies that there are winners and losers. If FAANG just poaches all the talent, then Intel, IBM and Oracle will just have to start competing for the talent they need instead of resting on their laurels.

Anti-competitive would be if they agreed NOT to poach talent in order to keep salaries low.
> Unfortunately there are massive headwinds against open source in US healthcare settings.

This reminds me of one of the first articles I've read about Linux and open source in general. It was about a CEO (and largest shareholder) of Medsphere Systems Corp, who open sourced their tech stack (I believe called OpenVista) and was promptly sued by his own company (!)

I believe they are saying that it happened in 2018, not today.

It's possible that it was a mistake, and corrected, but it should still concern you that it was done to begin with.

Telecoms should not be the arbiters of what content you view.
My understanding is that there are certain legal requirements associated with content moderators who may have to review illegal content, especially around child abuse / sexual imagery. This is what I've been told in the past by friends in other companies working on content moderation -- I don't have any specific evidence for or against it, but it passes the smell test.

The whole thing in the article about Facebook suddenly trying to automate this part of the content moderation job seems to also point in that direction.

> Management told moderators that we should no longer see certain varieties of toxic content coming up in the review tool from which we work— such as graphic violence or child abuse, for example.
Agreed. That’s my point.

It says people received $25.

This settlement amount goes to lawyers and the states.

My point was to collect the arguments in one place (to clarify my own thinking), and that we need to establish that legal definition already. We've run the "unregulated app stores" experiment for long enough, now it's time to do the work of defining these things and regulating them properly.

I'm interested in the bleed into other industries though, and would love some examples. It's important that laws be general enough not to be too targeted against particular actors but also to avoid side effects that adversely affect others in the process.
Attic. It is a past tense sentence, just sayin'.
Is this extremely aggressive relative to other forms of communication or extremely aggressive relative to the previous, near total laissez-faire communication regulation that encompassed the bulk of the internet traditionally?

Yes, I’ll give you that.
I think the point I was trying to make was that being denied some activities ( or have them severely restricted) as a young kid, may have repercussions later in life that ends up being the opposite of what the parents wished for.

Except my child is doing the school from home, and it seems that just translates to even more homework. Sure she frequently procrastinates, but having a teacher send "don't panic, here are 4 hours of homework due tomorrow" has literally put her in the situation of sitting on her computer from 8PM till 2AM a number of times now. Plus she is burning ~8 hours on the weekend with homework too.

So, I guess that is the price of being in a top tier highschool taking AP classes. When I was in a similar situation I probably only spent on average an hour a day on homework.

Ask HN: An idea HN sentiment analysis
walking the enormously helpful insightful analysis by HN commenters are awesome, but I don't have time to wade through them all. Kinda like doom scrolling.

An idea: Why not implement some sort of sentiment analysis per topic? A lot of times in the "Ask HN" section it's hard to grasp whether most like the idea or hate it. Would love a quick take of TL'DR analysis of most have found this topic to be....:

- informative | non-informative
- detail rich | vague
- technical | philosophical
