Sponsoring of open source projects is a problem that bitcoin aims to solve. That and many others. The electronic cash bitcoin not the currency bitcoin. The owners of the project will be able to construct an electronic company, and any value that a user gives, will be shared to the shareholders, in line of the shares any shareholder has to the project, i.e. how much he has contributed. A user wants a new feature or a fix of a bug? He gives coins to the open source company, and they will implement it. This will give incentive for programmers to increase the quality of the code, better documentation etc.

A while ago I decided to build another one of those Hacker News clone, and decided to use GraphQL, everything was fine, until I got at the comments...

You cannot ask for all the children of a main comment or a thread, something like "give me all the comments and sub comments of thread X" is impossible, I was quite shocked because I read nowhere about this limitation, I solved it adding an extra field to my response adding a "father" field, so I needed to organize and sort the data at the front-end, instead of using an already sorted JSON like would be possible with rest.

With all due respect, I find that most of GraphQL tests and examples return mostly simple data that is kinda easy anyways.
This really needs to happen. You spend time downloading an app only to find that it wants a monthly £6.99 subscription or some nonsense. What a waste of time.

I’m willing to do a one-off £5 payment for a game, let me filter on that.
Wow, this product is... really clever. Especially when put on one of the "mini" USB sticks that sit nearly flush with the port.

It seems like it could potentially really enable massive reuse of older, slower laptops that might otherwise be thrown away.

It seems to me like handling driver support would be the hard part. Is that their special sauce?

I can't see this as anything but a clear win for the environment and for education. And unlike the "Google shuts down everything" meme, this seems so obviously massively helpful to their entire ChromeOS strategy it looks like it'll be here to stay.

> Literal convicts, just let out of jail, at the for front of a civil rights movement, screaming how Black Lives matter, and how they are privileged white males.

The privileged white male convicts are running around screaming’Black lives matter.’ Got it :):):).

Lol but seriously yes I would say it makes a lot of sense for anyone to scream that Black lives matter.

That’s why we all were marching earlier and have signs up and stuff.

Because Black lives do matter, and all too often Black people in America are treated as if their lives are worth less because of their skin tone.

And you or anybody else who disagrees, has a problem with that, or wishes to believe that that’s not the truth, well, I feel no need to equivocate or reach for mutual understanding on this particular issue.

All of you folks who aren’t on board at this point can fuck off.

I know that many of you, years later, with the benefits of time, wisdom, and maturity, will look back with greater understanding than you have today. So for those of you with open souls please do reach out for good resources to better educate yourselves.

Same here in Firefox. The website configuration is broken.

The https site returns 404 but the http site has the content. This breaks Firefox's preferences for https, as I keep get redirected from the http to the https site since the https site responds (albeit with a 404).
Userbase seems to be a similar solution https://userbase.com/

3 months to learn a framework?

I've seen web dev classes in colleges that are spread out on a semester where they basically learn whichever framework the university decided to teach. Doesn't take 3 months of full time work, more like 6 hours per week including labs.

I highly doubt someone from MIT CS would go that route and pay for a bootcamp, considering how easy it's for them to get internships at companies where they are going to learn it on the job anyways.
The site's https site is broken so those of us who have enabled Firefox's preference for https are getting 404s.

> Whether or not people are 'easily affected by suggestion' as you put it, has got no impact on the concept of free markets.

Yes, it does. A free market is not just about individuals owning and trading property. A free market requires that all trades are voluntary. If people are forced, for example by law, to make trades they would not freely choose to make, you do not have a free market: forced trades are not voluntary. But if people are manipulated into making trades they would not freely choose to make if they knew the information the manipulator is hiding from them, those trades are not voluntary either.

If you ask, do you mind if I borrow your car, then they say yeah sure, here are the keys. Then they call the police and tell them you stole their car. I would call that a little disingenuous...and not fraud.
They helped him book his seat and buy the one next to him using the ticket unlimited miles they sold him and their booking service. I think I would at least call AA a party to the fraud they were accusing him of. So, if they were defrauding themselves as agents of themselves, shouldn't they be mad at themselves. If you call BestBuy and order a widget and the BestBuy employee gives you 10% off a $100 item, should they be able to sue you for stealing $10?
I do not think that XML is a hypertext. So I agree with you.

HTML is a hypertext.

Yes, Github probably has one of the most as-REST-like-as-possible JSON apis, and it's mostly wasted effort. It would be just as usable, as an API, without all that stuff, since it is consumed by code, not a browser/human.

Yeah, based on the article Facebook reactly quite positively to the proposed laws, which isn't a good sign. I'd like to be proven wrong, and there are some parts I like, such as not allowing preinstalled/unremovable apps. But on the whole I think the increased moderation/verification burdens are just going to cement existing companies in their market position, and create all kinds of oppurtunities for corruption in how content moderation disputes are handled.

Here is a bug report that shows the issue on Chrome. It is roughly 7 times slower with hardware rasterization enabled:

This particular example is only slow on Chrome. Even if you move the edge of the shape into the viewport Firefox is much faster than Chrome. But I know from real life examples that Firefox becomes slow if handling large SVGs. I will have to investigate this and file a bug report.
Looks pretty neat. I hope it appeals to the open source community. I like it's clean design and ability to render multiple languages in an IDE like way.

journalistic work is actually well defined with methodolgy, ethics and authoritative institutions. it's not difficult to prove that some work is journalistic
> People should be allowed to make their own choices in a free society.

When the rest of the "free society" has to bear the costs of certain choices, it doesn't seem so illegitimate to argue that it has some interest in constraining those choices.

And there of course is the endless contradiction of being a social creature: on the one hand, being part of a society creates possibilities that were not there before, but also leads to constraints that were also not there before.

Endless political philosophers across centuries have grappled with how best to resolve this paradox, with no definitive answer at this point.

Cats do the same thing sometimes, feral cats and lions, at least. Some cats are still gentle.
Right, exactly. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so we need to make sure that wheel squeaks are representative of society's ills. When something bad happens to non-journalists, journalists need to squeak just as loud as if it were happening to themselves. Providing the same treatment to the media as everyone else is one way to encourage it.

That's how representative democracy works, and it's the kind of democracy 95% of the world uses.
You only have to define the behavior:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing

A journalist is someone that does journalism, just like a runner is someone that runs. The behavior "doing journalism" is simply reporting on something to an audience.

I don't believe that the reason everything is so expensive in California is regulation and taxes. Here's why:

The North Coast (Eureka, Crescent City) and Central Valley (Chico, Fresno, Modesto, Bakersfield) are under the same regulatory and tax regime as the rest of California. How expensive is Eureka? Houses average $300K [1]. Restaurant meals are about $10-12. [2][3] How expensive is Bakersfield? Houses are about $250K [4], meals are about $11 [5]. In other words, they're not much different from the rest of America.

I think that much of the contemporary political narrative gets the causality wrong. The Bay Area and LA are expensive because they are home to global monopolies that funnel cash from all over the world into a small region. There's not much land available in these metros, there's a lot of money floating around, there are a lot of people who want to move in to get a piece of this money, and so they bid up the prices of scarce goods. Regulation comes later, to curb the power imbalances from having corporations with more resources than many nation-states, and taxes come so that the state can get a piece of the huge cash flows coming in.

But the primary driver of cost-of-living is being the sink for the disposable income of 7B consumers. Eureka's primary industry is timber, and Bakersfield's is oil. Both of these are commodity markets where the money goes elsewhere in the value chain. Not so with tech and entertainment.

Why Amazon Smile Doesn't Make Me Smile (2017)
Where "journalistic work" means "has published an article or video that at least purports to be reporting facts, or something equivalent to that".

If you claim to be a journalist, but can't point to something you've published, then you're not included.

If you claim to be a journalist, and can go "here's three articles I published in a local newspaper (for example)", then you're included.
This doesn't seem to be a very substantive discussion of the article in question. If we're to just dismiss everything we disagree with as propaganda, then it doesn't matter what motivates China's government, they're likely to come out on top.

Why buy margarine in the first place?

Margarine seems to be more prominent outside of the U.S. There's usually only a few brands of margarine on American grocery shelves but in Canada there's a whole wall of margarine next to a small shelf of butter. It seems very strange to my American eyes.
It could be. In that case, let the OS handle whether the phone/account are unique, and the app can ban that phone/account without having that unique identifier to ID the person in other cases, like advertising.
Letting senior dev who knows the org chart work from home is very different than onboarding junior employees.

I've seen seniors go completely async (timezones barely compatibles) and periodically you'd see an email from them detailing what they are working on, what they are blocked on and outlining the next steps.

You knew they were doing something simply by looking at the pull requests they sent and the comments they left on the PRs they were reviewing. But try that with a new hire and I guarantee it won't go well.

There's a big difference between an accountant putting on a suit for a job interview, and a company having realtime insight into the behavior of every single accountant in the U.S. as they search for a job.

The latter exists and has been used by Google to offer jobs to users for whom they may have an opening. (Or perhaps a competitor has openings and Google wants to ensure the best candidates not work there, which is what I would do if I were Google.)

That several gargantuan companies have and use this kind of insight into widescale human behavior is more terrible than "grandpa shared some nonsense on facebook."

It's literally delaying entering the workforce, so it really doesn't make sense if you want to enter the workforce ASAP.

>If you only have an email address and you make zero effort to cross-reference that with other data (using, for example, any datasets you purchased, or a marketing data enhancement system) then you are not connected their email address to their identity.

That is not my interpretation. As I'm reading it, all data that is routinely collected has to be disclosed, even if it is never cross referenced with any third party datasets.

I think if you create a record on your server for each user (identified by some user ID) and you store the user's email address in that record, then you must disclose that fact.
> I have never seen how does HATEOAS deliver benefit over a wiki with good documentation - that seems like better effort.

Have you used a web browser? Do you see how it handles known content types from a new website that you haven't previously visited seamlessly without you reading docs and telling it what to do with it?

That is exactly HATEOAS.

In general, understanding REST is often easiest if you think about what browsers do, since REST is the key principal underlying the design of HTTP/1.1 and was largely a rationalization of the evolved behavior of the web per-HTTP/1.1.

I think you're right on the money here. We just don't understand anything like a direct cause and effect between all the variables of personal gut biomes and genetics that create the metabolome.

My n=1 experience has been that a fasting-mimicking diet where I emphasize low protein (especially BCAAs) for several days functions as a great reset after I refeed. I think if nothing else people may benefit from "jiggling the handle" metabolic fixes from temporary diet alterations, and various diets may push the microbiome, metabolism, and immune system to a more beneficial state, but that will look different for each person. I also think that starving out various gut bugs of certain nutrients like starches, protein, (yes, we know fat and carbs can be bad in excess. But too much protein isn't often talked about!) sugars, etc. will exert selective pressure on them. The ones that can cooperate with the body will gain over the ones that just extract easy nutrients. And of course, many things like antibiotics just blow away the whole ecology, like burning down a rainforest. It takes a long time to recover.

I like to think of diet as a supply chain: if there's an excess of something, it's going to take cellular work to use it or put it somewhere else for later (e.g. fat, waste). If there's an overabundance of building blocks, the body will not be pushed to scavenge for those from old, broken down cell materials and they'll pile up. So changing the inputs up can give some pathways time to catch up. Fasting in general can also function in that way. The only problem is that it's kind of miserable to do, just like exercise.
