If others know that you have money, they're more likely to listen to you. But even if they don't know, money gives you an outward confidence boost because other people in your life who do know that you have money treat you better on average and they respond better to your assertions so this gives you more confidence to assert yourself to new people too and it becomes self-fulfilling.
Ask HN: Examples of NPM unilaterally removing packages
Hey, I'm writing an article on the state of dependency management in general but with a focus on the JavaScript community. I think we've all heard here and there than npm sometimes unilaterally removes packages from its registry, but I can't find any examples on internet after left-pad, or that weren't due to known vulnerabilities being discovered in those packages.

I'd like to know if anyone has example and can provide proof (emails, screenshot, etc) that happened in the last 3 years or so.
yeah I don't really trust anything in the article based on that statement:
>“Movie theaters are done."

It sounds like just wishful thinking(regarding firefly), but I'd love to be proven wrong :) a firefly reboot would be great and many people have wanted this for a long time, the problem is its been way too long and alot of sci-fi fans may have forgotten or just don't know about it, the show was cancelled 18 years ago so most 20 somethings have no idea what it is.
This is very interesting...
> The escalated tensions probably adds way more stress to the officers there and they snap and start doing heavy handed policing because they want the protest to be over so they can go home.

If they can’t manage the stress in a way that doesn’t prevent them from doing their job correctly they should be fired.

The same logic applies to you or I, what is so special about the police?

It's not a great time to be an AMC theater, for sure. But I don't really see the wholesale abandonment of a 100 year old form of entertainment just because we couldn't do it for a month. Theaters may start to look different over the next couple years, but people enjoy going to the movies. We might see a tendency toward smaller theaters. Maybe more will start serving food and drinks. Maybe we'll see a wider adoption of strict rules against talking & cellphones a la Alamo Drafthouse, since those are basically the two things that will truly ruin the show for people.

Basically, theater buildings are already built. Projectors are already installed, and film reels are out there. Even if the big studios decided that all new movies are going straight to streaming, the back catalog of amazing movies is HUGE: I would happily go several times a year to a nice theater that showed the old classics. I saw 2001 last year, projected from a 70mm print, and it was fantastic (even though the incompetent AMC theater couldn't get the house lights shut off for the first half)
> The operators of online platforms - such as social media apps and video-sharing sites of any size - must prioritise complaints raised by "trusted flaggers", who have a track record of highlighting valid problems.

Who determines which problems are valid? Unless I overlooked something, this article seems really vague.

> Likewise, all online stores must be able to trace traders selling goods via their platforms, in case they are offering counterfeit items or other illegal products. "[It] will require online marketplaces to check their sellers' identity before they are allowed on the platform, which will make it so much more difficult for dodgy traders to do their business," commented Mr Breton.

I'm excited about the crackdown on counterfeit products, but I also wonder if it will raise the barrier of entry for sellers (if Amazon has to spend money to validate a given seller, why should they do business with smaller sellers?). Hopefully this authentication mechanism can be inexpensive such that it doesn't disenfranchise too much legitimate business at the small end of the spectrum; big players already enjoy tremendous regulatory advantages over smaller players--no need to compound it further.

> In addition, once a year they must publish a report into their handling of major risks, including users posting illegal content, disinformation that could sway elections, and the unjustified targeting of minority groups.

I'm really wary of "disinformation that could sway elections" and "unjustified targeting of minority groups"; how do you litigate these fairly? One person's "racial advocacy" is another person's "racial patronization". These seem super subjective and thus ripe for abuse. Hopefully this too is just a case of poor journalism and the legislation is better.

It could also end up that Whedon won’t want to be involved, if indeed Disney really is committed to turning Firefly into a gold standard family-friendly adventure series. That may skew too far from his original vision for the program.

> The intended purpose was to keep seniors and retirees in their homes without the danger of them being made homeless due to the speculative nature of California housing market whose instability is largely contributed to the said feted ‘new comers’.

That was the stated objective given to economically illiterate voters but not the intended purpose. Those property owners can be targeted with tax exemptions without the "unintended" consequences of Proposition 13. The vast majority of the beneficiaries of Proposition 13 are not seniors who would be put on the street, and the fact that the tax benefit is inheritable makes the idea that this was the purpose of the initiative even more of a farce.

> If they never ask for "“yes,” “no” for whether the natural Person is of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin", but one of the automated recommendation dimensions is close to 1:1 match for that question, would they have to disclose that? (i.e. give statistics per-dimension)

I'm going to assume yes, they would need to disclose that. That scenario sounds awfully similar to some of the terms the FTC uses when discussing the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA):

> Under traditional credit scoring
models, companies compare known credit characteristics of a consumer—such as past late payments—with
historical data that shows how people with the same credit characteristics performed over time in meeting
their credit obligations. Similarly, predictive analytics products may compare a known characteristic of a
consumer to other consumers with the same characteristic to predict whether that consumer will meet his or
her credit obligations. The difference is that, rather than comparing a traditional credit characteristic, such
as debt payment history, these products may use non-traditional characteristics—such as a consumer’s zip
code, social media usage, or shopping history—to create a report about the creditworthiness of consumers
that share those non-traditional characteristics, which a company can then use to make decisions about
whether that consumer is a good credit risk. The standards applied to determine the applicability of the
FCRA in a Commission enforcement action, however, are the same.

> Only a fact-specific analysis will ultimately determine whether a practice is subject to or violates the
FCRA, and as such, companies should be mindful of the law when using big data analytics to make FCRA covered eligibility determinations.

This is a flawed comparison. GraphQL is probably a superior query language. The more salient question is how the complexity of back-end API endpoint implementation differs.

The answer is that it varies widely between ecosystems (i.e. you are going to have a totally different experience developing a GraphQL endpoint in PostGraphile, Graphene, and Apollo)...and the paper doesn't mention which back-end technology was used.
> A interesting point missing from the BBC article is that they have different levels of expectations between small to medium businesses and large ones, to avoid regulatory capture ? :

It's easy to overlook, but the BBC article does have this line:

> It introduces a sliding scale, under which firms take on more obligations the larger and more influential they are.

> Another interesting tidbit is the answer to the common trope that 'private platform can act as they wish since they are private' :

In the US we have a similar trope with respect to social media companies, that they don't have a responsibility to protect free speech because they are a private entity; however, they also argue that they aren't responsible when they curate illegal content.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't expect this to be a controversial or particularly unpopular comment. I wonder if downvoters could elaborate a bit on their objections?
It’s an ironic error in a comment about being bad at statistics. :)

And no shade intended by that. We might all have made an error like this.
Stephen Whigham was injured playing kickball during an event he organized for his employer, Jackson Dawson Communications. He filed a claim for workers' compensation. The commissioner denied the claim because she found the injury did not arise out of or in the course of his employment, and that decision was affirmed by the full commission and the court of appeals. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded, finding that under the facts of this case, Whigham was entitled to workers' compensation because he was impliedly required to attend the kickball game he organized, and therefore, his injury arose out of and in the course of his employment.

You'd like to ask what mental contortions the workmans comp commission and the lower court went through to argue that mandatory fun wasn't in fact mandatory. Guess they took a page from the playbook of the Supreme Court.

The important lesson is that one should strictly refuse mandatory fun, especially when physical activities or alcohol come into play.
Ask HN: Should macOS bring process to alert users about memory/CPU hogging apps?
Last week i got 2020 Macbook Pro (intel) 32G RAM version from office. To my surprise i experienced the following issues, which i never imagined given the hype i had received when i was using Windows.

1. Slack is still hogging CPU (through Slack renderer helper)
- Found old thread from 2017, which seemed still relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14087899
- One more from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/jvxx0m/anyone_else_experience_high_cpu_usage_on_mac/

2. Zoom call with all videos ON made the MacBook Pro's fans go crazy! Literally i was hearing the sound of fan in full volume! (this i never seen in Windows with 16G RAM)

3. McAfee Endpoint Security in kext mode is draining battery at a faster pace! its like 1% drop in every 1/2 minutes! Found a link on switching to kext-less mode: https://docs.mcafee.com/bundle/endpoint-security-10.6.0-installation-guide-macOS/page/GUID-74D9510B-A542-4811-AF36-78EA5949128A.html

These are some sample issues from 2 days of usage for my first time into Mac world.
Given the user friendliness focus from Apple, shouldn't they take care of such issues which makes the user feel bad? Because, user can't run around each app developer to optimize the app not to drain the resource/memory of Mac OS.

Given the fact the MacBook Pro is premium segment, these kind of issues are not supposed to be faced/handled by user.
Interesting thought because I see GraphQL as removing a layer of abstraction. Instead of modelling the domain activities and abstracting away the storage model, GraphQL can end up just being a way to express a relational model and SQL as JSON. Except it's not as featureful or complete as the real relational system.
> For example did you know that cups runs a web server at http://localhost:631

A typical Linux installation can run much more web servers on localhost. I run transmission-daemon, syncthing, cups, sometimes pagico (which is a desktop app which runs a php/web server backend on loopback).

I guess that Firefox folks have thought of this otherwise, it'd be patched pretty quickly.
Many overtly social people I know seem to use social interaction as a sort of crutch for avoiding solving personal issues. Then again, I have friends who just seem to be inherently "good" at being social without a distinct narrative or motive. I wish I could be like that, this is likely why I've fucked up a lot of "serious" relationships in the past.

Buy better plants. Or buy many and see which one survives your level of care.

One of the nicest features for me in this is the webpage widget to upload and download files into the CloudShell instance.

I have zero problem doing this with the normal remote instance I use for this sort of thing in the past, but for whatever reason, walking junior engineers through this process is always one of the most painful things I deal with. Having a GUI way of doing this will make walking them through it easy.

That said, this environment doesn't deal with flaky connections well. A few toggles of my wifi, and now I have multiple bash orphans on my ECS container. I shouldn't be too surprised, looks like they've repurposed the SSH client from Cloud 9. It'd be nice if they brought in something like a Mosh client.

> You should not test code. You should test functionalities.

You're talking about integration tests and/or end-to-end tests. I write those. Usually at the façade level, not at the network endpoint (which usually means the controller level, a shallow layer that often includes some ACL and serialization) but it's just a matter of taste.

> You should be able to rewrite all your app in a new language and still be confident your tests will tell you if something broke. "Unit testing" at the class level won't do that.

Unit tests, integration tests and e2e tests are different things that solve different concerns. An e2e test will rarely expose an obscure bug within an implementation, and a unit test will rarely expose concerns in the global application flow.

Both have their place. And they have nothing to do with the "interface vs not interface", IMHO.
This is egregious, but nothing new. Obama was not a friend to journalist either:

And if your friends are the politicians in charge, then maybe that would be a good argument that I should be less skeptical about the "think of the children" claim.

But your friends are likely not the politicians in charge, and even if they were, I wouldn't take the word of an anonymous internet poster that said friends were wholly honest and forthright in this regard. I would remain skeptical of their intentions. The recipe for good democracy includes a healthy amount of skepticism. Skepticism is what motivates investigations and inquiries. Inquiries of the type the FTC studiously avoided by not triggering the 10 entity flag.

> You'll have to explain why a dedicated hardware company wouldn't be able to come up with such a chip given sufficient competition. If many people use language X, then it makes sense for an IC design company to optimise for that language (unless there is a near-monopoly situation and they don't care about what the market wants).

They gave you an example. Apple (software part) don't need to run around and ask hardware companies to implement optimisations in their hardware, and hope that implementation will be as promised (see: Microsoft and Qualcomm, and debacle called "custom ARM chip for Windows"). Apple (software part) can plan their releases many years in advance, knowing that Apple (hardware part) will fulfil their promise (see: Intel's roadmap recently, NVidia and Apple in the past). Apple (software part) can choose programming language that suits them and be sure that the hardware will follow. Apple (hardware part) can plan many years in advance and make obviously superior product knowing that there will be enough software support (Rosetta 2) to overcome initial platform switching pain. The whole M1 Mac story is all about the company that is so integrated that they can pull something that nobody else can.

You choose to ignore the example.
I'd recommend the book/audiobook "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker.

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=why+we+sleep&ia=web
Probably not, but looking around here I think the big operators like AMC are in the worst position as they rely the most of the big releases absent this year, and I suspect have larger overheads too. I suspect some will fail or get bought at a discount but studios, but the outlook for smaller ones is more positive given their audience and more flexible offering - ef locally I see all the big cinemas closed, but some interesting new releases at the little ones , who’ve also partnered with distributors for online screenings and spotting the takings.

I think you've made my point for me quite well. Especially around cynical behavior.

As someone who has heavily used both REST and GraphQL in the past and actively, I find this comparison heavily similar to using raw HTML versus React. When it really boils down, GraphQL is just REST with types and the capability of performing multiple requests in one. Much like React is a way of creating component types from HTML elements.
GraphQL takes a bit more work to get setup and running, but it's soo worth it in the end if you value typing. One of the most impressive parts of GQL that REST isn't capable of having, is the vast tooling ecosystem enabled by a standardly typed data transfer model, the fact that anyone can write a library that can automatically hook into your model is incredibly powerful.

I find most people who have negative opinions on GraphQL simply haven't taken the dive yet to fully understand it, and they typically overthink what it actually does. In my opinion, if you're writing a progressive web/mobile app with relational data, you should hands down be using GraphQL.
