This is awesome. Will definitely give this a try.
I've been thinking of making something like this, but for research of technical topics. Google results a lot of the times are SEO'd to shit and it's difficult to get any good answers anymore. So lately I've been searching HN, Reddit and Twitter more as it's much easier to get good information. Using Google's search as you all are but giving a better ui and ux is a fantastic idea.
This is a very modern and very North American type attitude to hold tbh, and I'm not convinced the whole "everyone should have their own wage slave shed to themselves far away from their loved ones" isn't as much a marketing trope as "diamonds are a girl's best friend".

Someone at the CDC disagreed with the strategy of vaccinating people in long-term care facilities first because their weaker immune systems might not have an effective response to the vaccine. I'm not even sure if vaccinating front-line heathcare workers first makes sense because they've probably been exposed already (or not; this is easily checked with antibody tests).

You want to vaccinate people most likely to spread it. Who that is, I'm not sure.

Why does YouTube not also get a shot at free speech?

You have a right to free speech until it infringes on someone else.

The real problem is that people falsely think YouTube is the only way to publish a video on the Internet...
Who wants mass consumer appeal? Consumers don't pay for things.

I'm for one glad YouTube is doing this. I've heard so many times from friends and such "I watched this doctor on youtube and he says"

People don't fact check and yes, I agree people should be free to post what they want, but come on. The only people really fighting against this are the ones benefiting from the misinformation being spread. If they wanted to really argue why it's a bad thing they should start discrediting people instead of using it to their advantage.
> The idea that banning certain information will somehow result in it disappearing has been shown repeatedly to not work. A cursory reading of history should make this clear. You cannot turn the entire world into West Coast USA by banning everyone that disagrees with you. You’ll only create further echo chambers, both on your own platform and on the (new) platforms inevitably created by the exiled.

And in the process you’ll create a system that will eventually alienate enough people in the middle to undermine you. Banning discussion of this—instead of letting the courts do their work—will alienate the half of the country that voted for Trump. It’ll alienate traditional liberals for whom free speech (not in the narrow legal sense but the larger social sense) is a core value. And eventually the system you’ve created will do something to overreach. The desire to censor the other side won’t end here. And at that point, the majority of people will find themselves on the other side and you’ll have a problem.

Traditional liberal values were a good thing and we should hesitate to abandon them. Liberals defended nazis marching through American cities in the name of free speech. If we can handle that we can have handle baseless claims of election fraud that are being swiftly dealt with by the courts.

Ask HN: Tesla Chose Unibody over Frame for CyberTruck. Why?
I was chatting with a friend about Land Rover and Range Rover. And he said that the newer Land Rovers are all unibody and completely denounced them.

Otoh, Tesla Cybertruck supposed to be competing with a F150 is Uni body. Why? Aren’t trucks safer with Body on Frame?

Or is there something special about Cybertruck design?
I’m honestly not a fan of how you’re framing this as a problem I’ve caused, so I think I’m going to bow out. Have a good rest of your day!
I may be wrong, as I have never used them, but I think wireframes are used to Graphically design a site layout. Once a design is approved, it is then up to a UI "engineer" to translate that design into actual HTML/CSS.
No I don't. Your point about "propaganda making their point with emotion, repetition, and invective" is a great descriptor of ALL media for the past several years, from all sides. If established elites are determining which media outlets are "correct" and which ones are "propaganda", then the disenfranchised, minorities, subjugated, and others who are outside this elite group have no way to amplify their voices without permission from the entrenched.

Then, when those groups realise they don't have legitimate means of voice, they either choose to exit (migration), or armed action.

This is the point Taibbi is making - don't back people into a corner.
Should one do a corona antibody test before getting the vaccine?

It does not make sense to get the vaccine if you already have the antibodies from a previous infection, right?

Through my employer, like many employees.

Yes, though I've not seen the inside of it with my eyes since March.

> If not, do they give you Californi-based coverage, with most providers being out-of-network?

While your question was conditional on the office, no, the CA-specific health plans are only available for CA employees. Non-CA employees have a different set of options. (Sadly: I was rather fond of Kaiser.)

I assume - together with TikTok - from this article in september:

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/09/22/tiktok-texas-trump/

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he tentatively approved a deal between the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok and Oracle and Walmart that could bring the new joint venture’s headquarters to Texas. The deal, though, still faces much uncertainty.

“All of the technology will be maintained here,” Trump said at a North Carolina rally. “They’re going to move probably to the great state of Texas.”

...

If approved, the new entity, TikTok Global, would contribute $5 billion to an educational fund based in Texas, according to the Austin American-Statesman, though Walmart said in a press release the money would go to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Trump had previously requested that there be a contribution to the U.S. government in exchange for helping to arrange the deal. Walmart did not respond to a request for comment.
I do not sync any of my data to iCloud beyond Contacts and Calendar, so I would presume my browsing history is safe. Plus I always browse in Private mode, so it doesn't keep a history anyway. But I guess most people probably don't take those precautions so for them it could be a method of leaking data. Thanks for the insight!

The half of the country that voted for Trump is already alienated. They're fully prepared to destroy every American institution, simply because Trump them that they should. As we've already seen countless times, there is no amount of rational discussion or documented evidence that will persuade them otherwise.

The question is, do the rest of us have to go along with it, or are allowed to fight back?

Calling the opinion of someone you disagree with “weaponized
disinformation” doesn’t mean it’s anything but someone else’s opinion. It is chilling that you don’t seem to know the difference between a free Press and an immediate threat to your life.

I have created this for fun. Please share your thoughts.
What happens when the "weaponized misinformation" ends up being true?

From the article: Hunter Biden was announcing that his “tax affairs” were under investigation....That news was denounced as Russian disinformation by virtually everyone in “reputable” media, who often dismissed the story with an aristocratic snort....That tale was not Russian disinformation, however, and Biden’s announcement this week strongly suggests Twitter and Facebook suppressed a real story of legitimate public interest just before a presidential election.
I think there is always common ground. There are always agreeable facts. I think there are two divergent points being made here:

- Facts and truth how we agree on them and how and why they influence policy decisions.

- Politics: what is the best way to convince (or unconvinced) people of a particular policy and progress a particular agenda (usually party or individual based).

I think anytime you find yourself stating “I’ll never change my view” I’d recommend a moment of pause.

Putting climate change to one side. Flat earth, 5G causing coronavirus, Bill gates trying to mind control your kids are all easily proved factually incorrect. Facebook could easily limit the spread of the this stuff. Sure we can save the more controversial things for later when more than 94% consensus is reached (in the instance of climate change)

I think the approach here is one of messaging.

Some people think emotionally, not logically. Figuring that out took me way longer in life than it should have.

Logical thinkers will be able to do the risk/benefit analysis with “good enough” fidelity so long as data is available, so you don’t really have to worry about convincing them.

For the emotional thinkers, whom I am assuming have a large intersection with the people that believe misinformation (that assumption may need to be checked, but I ... just don’t have that data), perhaps we would have had better luck by pushing a message like “we are all soldiers in a war now, and soldiers take risks to protect each other.” Complete with an advertising campaign featuring a frontline combat veteran recounting how she walked out under enemy fire to rescue her comrades, and subtly or not-so-subtly shaming people who are unwilling to take tiny risks to protect their fellow soldier-citizens.

Reading minds is not your strong point.
When they shut down GCP in a couple of years, I wonder what they’ll do with all the addresses?
No, you're right. This set, and flowcharts in general, is used before the wireframing process. We use these in client meetings, giving them the opportunity to contribute the inner flow of web pages and sitemaps. It is different than the wireframing process, right.
I think you don't know what the weapon is. The weapon is wielded by people who know better: by Trump, by Giuliani, by Hannity. They know the truth, but are cynically using their platform to manipulate the population. The consequences are destructive.

The opinions are not the weapon. The opinions are the wound, caused by the weapon.

There was a period of time where the web was actually less readable in lynx/elinks, it's weird how that changed.
That's not why it's a representative democracy. The reason is that direct democracy was not logistically possible at the time, and also for support if states' rights.
Before anyone else looks into PUFs as a mechanism for generating entropy (like the lava lamps are), they don't. It's kind of the opposite kind of randomness. Lava lamps create new randomness every time whereas a PUF generates the same randomness always.
Thanks for the question. This is different than the wireframing process. We use these cards in our client meetings; presenting the client with the inner-page flow of specific web pages. We pin the cards to the wall or a board. Additionally, I'm using these in my office, trying to dream what I want to see in my product or in my work.
Good. Let the exodus continue.

The Lynx styles stuff (and the initial cookie jar support) is definitely my most successful bit of code - made in 1996, still cropping up almost 25 years later.
Reading the NY times article I wasn't sure whether to laugh or rage at how the author repeatedly equated videos with "teen" in the title and child sex abuse. I've been an avid consumer of porn since the early 1990s and nearly every movie has a "teen" in it who is certainly no younger than 25. So apparently all of that "sexy teen" porn I've watched over the years was CP.
>I have no idea if it came from media (movies/books telling us we should move out as soon as possible) or from advertising (because if you can get people to move out you sell more stuff. More housing, more cars, more every day appliances etc...)

That's my instinctive suspicion personally. The Western world has long devolved into having "CONSUME" blasted at you 24/7 from 360 degrees so I've no doubt that the above is any different.

Surprised we're not being pushed into 𝚌̶𝚛̶𝚎̶𝚊̶𝚝̶𝚒̶𝚗̶𝚐̶ ̶𝚊̶𝚗̶ ̶𝚎̶𝚟̶𝚎̶𝚛̶ ̶𝚐̶𝚛̶𝚎̶𝚊̶𝚝̶𝚎̶𝚛̶ ̶𝚐̶𝚛̶𝚊̶𝚙̶𝚑̶ ̶𝚘̶𝚏̶ ̶𝚌̶𝚘̶𝚗̶𝚜̶𝚞̶𝚖̶𝚎̶𝚛̶𝚜̶ having more babies... although that corporate thirst is probably better satisfied with mass immigration and therefore more immediate dollars.
Here's how I see it: the Cybertruck is more of a "sports lifestyle" truck and less of a daily utility work-horse.

It isn't going to be feasible to tow trailers or carry bulky payloads in the tray on a regular basis. Traditional trucks are good at those things, but have terrible aerodynamics compared to a car-like construction.

Going with unibody will make it easier for Tesla to manufacture using the techniques they already have working well, as well as take care of creating the battery storage bay at the base in one swoop.
I think there is still quite a lot of debate among epidemiologists about asymptomatic transmission. It might not be as common as is being portrayed.
Initially, these cards were designed to be used in client meetings, pinned to the wall and showing the client the inner-page flows. But since Figma has become the gold standard of web, I decided to add Figma format, as well.
> It is useful for importing pages with -dump from the command line.

That's my main use of Lynx these days - for ad-hoc extracting a bunch of links from a page, there's not much easier.

Redux always returns a brand new state. This will cause all consumers to rerender and react will update the dom only if there is a change. But with Mobx its more granular and the updates are atomic. This isn't a problem in apps where there is a single team working on it. But when you work in enterprise apps where different parts are worked on by different teams state updates to redux can be costly. This is not a limitation of Redux but a human problem that occurs inevitably. I've seen this in 3 different large scale projects. It starts well but after a year or so when people move out/in this bites us.

This can be enforced with strict rules, eslint plugins and infra but they are expensive as hell.

EDIT: 'This will cause all consumers (with incorrect mapStateToProps configuration) to rerender'
If you’re arguing that I’m consistent and factual, then I give up. You got me.

ICU capacity wasn’t abnormal months ago. I just provided you with evidence of that. It isn’t abnormal now, either.

Stop it with the hysteria about raw death counts. Do you even know what percentage of those “3,000 people a day” are dying with Covid as a secondary or tertiary cause?

(hint: most of them.)

Here’s another inconvenient fact: did you know that we’ve had over 100,000 excess deaths in 2020 that have nothing to do with Covid? Over 37,000 of them were from Alzheimer disease and dementia, alone.

Golly...that’s...2,000 deaths a week! Or about 1/3rd of all excess deaths this year.

Bias disclosure: I have been a links user for over 20 years. It is my primary browser for recreational web use. As an internet user beginning the late 80's, I always tried every linemode or text-only browser I heard about. I think I have possibly used them all. I used lynx through a public access UNIX system for some years. It baffles me when people recommend lynx today. It makes me think they do not actually use a text-only browser much (e.g., once in a while), and that they have not tried them all. To answer your question, the two biggest reasons I would always choose links over lynx is 1. the way links renders tables
(this is what initially hoookd me on links) and 2. the source code. I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of text-only browsers. Of course, this is not a topic anyone really cares about. I think links would be the fastest. Funny how he calls anyone who would use a text-only browser exclusively a "masochist". That is how I think of users who use the popular graphical browsers, waiting arbitray amounts of time on every website for pages to "load", making dozens of unnecessary connections to third party servers.
You're right. I've been foolishly ignoring the subjugated minority of white, male, wealthy, Christian Trump supporters. Let's give a voice to this oft-neglected underclass.

/s obviously.
Speaking as an American who didn't vote for Trump, either time, you've certainly alienated me. You'd (collectively) best hope you're making more friends than enemies.

Hope's all any of us have at this point.

It may be splitting hairs, but I think certain changes to hammers must qualify as invention, certainly, including the crosshatch innovation, the material science involved for both fiberglass and titanium handles, and the improved weight distribution. It's not clear to me what would be considered a complete reimagining of the hammer, as a hammer is such a broad category of tool. Is a mallet a hammer? When I smack something with the backside of an impact driver, is it a hammer? I sure use wrenches as hammers occasionally.

So, what's the line between inventing and refining?
Frightening and disturbing movie. It's very dark, very realistic. Unless you're very hardened against watching realistic depictions of death it will likely leave you clenching your fists and feeling tense. Similar to Spielberg's Munich. It is not a thriller or anything like that, it has none of the fantastical over-the-topness of a fictional story like Se7en-- it's a very cold depiction of truth.

By the way if you liked this movie, plug for Bong Joon-Ho's Memories of Murder, which is terrific (and much less difficult to watch.)
