Chromium 86 safelisted some distributed web schemes for registerProtocolHandler() [0][1]. Among them are also `ipfs` and `ipns`. As my first contribution to go-ipfs I grabbed the corresponding issue and added support for the gateway code [2], which will be released with go-ipfs 0.8.0. This means anyone will be able to call e.g.

navigator.registerProtocolHandler('ipfs', 'https://dweb.link/ipfs/?uri=%s', 'ipfs resolver')

Afterwards opening something like:

ipfs://QmbWqxBEKC3P8tqsKc98xmWNzrzDtRLMiMPL8wBuTGsMnR

will be redirected to the public gateway configured above and handled accordingly.

You can also configure a different gateway as some have voiced their concern about routing everything through dweb.link.

Assuming we have Jeopardy in 50 years, of course.
This is the best answer I've seen. HN however is not a place for unpopular (and true) insights. It'll be downvoted to oblivion.
Like all real Americans, I hate all forms of communism and socialism, and I especially hate the evil Chinese communist party and their concentration camps, so I agree with your skeptical spirit.

It's not that I think the CCP wouldn't take him out if they could, it's that I don't think the CCP can politically afford to take out a widely popular multi-billionaire.

That's the problem; when there's a legitimate cause for chargeback you still can't do one, because the big platform is going to retaliate.
While I don't have a strong preference in this "war", I can think of an interesting argument for 1-based.

Our time counting is 1-based. There is no zeroth second, zeroth minute, hour, day, month, year, or century.
This actually makes it slightly harder in 0-based languages to work with time and dates.

Also, it might be an indication that 1-based system is somewhat more intuitive to non-programmers.
Of the basic needs for a person to live non-homelessly in western countries, food is probably the cheapest and easiest to come by from charity sources after water. But people unfamiliar with the life find it easiest to think about food, and if a panhandler mentions food it's often an advertising strategy. For acquiring money for living, there's a parallel to selling your services as a software developer, solving stupid programming games in the interview, even though 90% of your time is spent on things other than writing code :)

Most of these are people accused of various drug crimes (many nonviolent).

As much as I hate Trump, I support that.

The worst one was this:

Paul Erickson – President Trump has issued a full pardon to Paul Erikson. This pardon is supported by Kellyanne Conway. Mr. Erickson’s conviction was based off the Russian collusion hoax. After finding no grounds to charge him with any crimes with respect to connections with Russia, he was charged with a minor financial crime. Although the Department of Justice sought a lesser sentence, Mr. Erickson was sentenced to 7 years’ imprisonment—nearly double the Department of Justice’s recommended maximum sentence. This pardon helps right the wrongs of what has been revealed to be perhaps the greatest witch hunt in American History.

Yeah, BS. Trump deserved to lose his Presidency then and there.

I also didn't like the special treatment that Stephen Bannon received. There is another person who deserves to rot in hell.

But my guess is that more than 2/3 of these commutations I support. And it has nothing to do with who commuted them.

In terms of political and cultural history Singapore is much more like Hong Kong. But it's 2020, not 1990; times have changed. I'd like to see real numbers.

> Can you please elaborate how a movement

American society tends to not like riots. 'Moral purity' doesn't justify physical wrath and destruction [1]. The collective society tends to benefit with using our Republic government as an instrument of recourse/change.

Using a small microcosm to judge any movement is a psyop by someone trying to reduce your critical thinking skills. Please figure out how to understand the grievances of 'the other side' because it's blinding you to a destructive discourse environment. Dare I say 80% of Americans would actually enjoy many 'other' people, if they were open and less hostile that mutes any chance to fixing mutually agreed upon problems.

In March, I had some seriously ill co-workers, kept myself in isolation from my family for 12 weeks, and then the tests started... I've been short of breath ever since. When I was medically cleared to go back to work, I was really anxious about my ability to make it through my first day... but got laid off before that happened.

In order to collect unemployment, you have to certify you're ready to take a full time job... I'm not.

I feel like I've aged 20+ years since March, things look bleak.

Dying is terrible, but people are ignoring a huge problem in the long term consequences after "recovery". Millions of people are facing a "new normal"
I know. But I'm way past the point of being scared of that, or even caring. As a Chinese person I was scared of being lynched by the mob for speaking up (ironic isn't it, this is the so-called "free society" but apparently it only applies when you agree with the mob), but now I just think the truth must come out, and someone must push back against this insane, evidence-free anti-China hysteria.

Notice that I'm not even saying "CCP good". I just say "it's nuanced and complex, there are alternative points of view". Which is what most things in reality are. But when it comes to China, people will only allow simplifiying it to a cartoon villain.
>paid a significant price

Is that price a large sum of money to a particular SuperPAC in the near future?
You should recite the facts correctly. Supposedly, Bannon represented to the public that 100% of donated funds were going to build the wall. In fact, prosecuters allege that ‘hundreds of thousands’ were diverted to pay Banon’s personal bills. That’s out of 25 million raised.
> How much more mental gymnastics do we need?

> I am from China and I have family in China.

Would you publicly curse Xi and denounce the CCP?

Please realize also that many in the West (myself included) are freaking out about China and are trying to counter its rise. This is a narrative that fits into their world view.

I'm more worried about CCP fascism and hypersonic nukes than I am about climate change.

I'm worried about what happens when Chinese software developers outnumber us, and all of our tech has been cheaply duplicated and sold around the world. When we have no other advantage, what then? Do we implode?

I'm worried about our companies and politicians adopting capitalism and democracy with Chinese characteristics.

Edit: downvotes trigger HN's post filter, so I'm including my replies below

> That doesn't seem to fit the narrative that people have the agency to think differently from the status quo Americans would like to impose upon the world.

Last time I was in China, a good third of the people I spoke in depth with openly discussed the corruption and expressed dissenting views. This was in private, of course.

There were more than a few die-hard pro-CCP folks, but the talk of corruption was far more pervasive.

You're still probably right.

> Is this Great Replacement propaganda?

It does sound a little like it. That's not at all my intention.

I think it's appropriate to worry about a country copying tech that has a much larger, more productive population to sustain growth. Their protectionism doesn't help.

But really this is all rooted in the single-party fascism. I'd be fine if China were a democracy. I might even move there myself.

I don't care about my genes or my race or my progeny. I want the world to grow freer with every passing year. The CCP represents a major stumbling block in my worldview and sense of security.

> You sit down and try to succeed on merit rather than privilege for once in your life

Okay, that's a good point. But I'm working my ass off as it is, so I don't know how much latitude for adjustment I have here.
> bringing his cannabis brand to the California market

Could you explain? I'm not following and when I search his story news articles said he opened a clothing store. What was his actual business and was it connected to cannabis?
I think missing from the definition is "indiscriminate"

That makes a significant difference.

On one side, the Right's movement against the capitol was specifically targeting politicians. This movement affected a priviledged political class and the people that they employ.

In the other extreme, the BLM movement against (x) targeted (y) . This movement affected seniors, students, women, owners , employees, blacks, latinos, indiscriminately.

This is the crux of the issue. X and Y are quite random and thus lend themselves far easier to the classic definition of terrorism
A Chinese person's perspective about China and its politics/government on HN/Reddit? Enjoy the following classics:

1) you're brainwashed.

2) how do you justify the human rights violations?

3) you're a CCP shill

Good luck!

Yeah somebody just calls you up basically and talks about how they have this great company/opportunity and emphasizes that they have close ties to the local government.
General advice: do not give money to the homeless, just give them food. There are of course exceptions in life like with anything, but if your city has a homelessness problem then you and others will only gradually make it worse by giving money.

The only logical solution is population control where unlimited population growth is not allowed.

See the movie “In time”.
93% of meteors hitting earth are harmless.

This is not about the probability but the outcome at the tail

7% or 3% or 1% is still huge.
The right number to use is 0%. Not 1% or 7% Zero. Those protests literally shut down critical stores for people in dire straits. For ex. The only pharmacy near low income seniors with limited motor ability, with the double whammy that public transport also shut down.

Cities on fire every week is not OK especially when the offenders are inmune from law enforcement.

To think that 7% is acceptable smacks of priviledge. Someone is clearly not living in the inner city, and does not know what it means to not own a car when the public transport system is halted and the only supermarket near is razed.
There is a very obvious anti-China sentiment on Reddit, where you barely see any post with good news about China, where any news coming out of China is seen as CCP propaganda, and pro-China comments are downvoted and accused of being shills for the CCP. I'm disappointed to see the same trend on HN, even if it's not as bad.

It's extremely unlikely that the founder and CEO of a $600B publicly traded company would completely disappear for several months on his own initiative. A short interview or a couple of emails would have dispelled all speculation that he was detained without agitating the Chinese government.

Yes, in a way that's pretty selfish of you (and reflects typical western society). You want to feel good by patting yourself on the back saying "oh well, I did donate", and then expressing interest in any consequences later on caused by the transaction. We all do it, but we also know good intentions can be lined with consequences that you are partially responsible for.
As I understand it he's been out of the public eye since October, after making comments critical of the Chinese government, and now the government is making noise about nationalizing his company. I agree that's not conclusive proof that the government has done something to him, but speculating that they have hardly seems like "mental gymnastics".

I've also experimented with this, unfortunately the 50ms CPU time isn't enough for datasets larger than 1.5MB. And the wasm init add at least 100ms to each request even when "hot" in cache.

Also, out of a cost perspective, running a VM with SSD for cheap with SQlite will give much more requests than a CF worker for much less.

Adding writes to this is also very limited due to the max 1sec write per KV key limit.

Yeah, I’ve known about Graal/Truffle for years, and just heard about the smart contract thing today.
A lot of people are not interested in understanding or cooperation when it comes to China.

They want a confrontation so much that they would rather entertain completely made up speculation (it is a deep fake, recorded from prison ...) than something rooted in actual reality.

Nice to see Peter Thiel get one last jab in against common decency before Trump is out of office.

Does anyone think Lewandowski’s conduct is acceptable or defensible? He defrauded everyone involved in Le Affaire Uber.
I read his comments, and have studied Chinese and China for years. While he took a pretty slight risk, (it seems) he only criticized other business owners and potential regulatory ideas. Honestly, his comments were so mild that you'd probably regularly hear similar stuff _coming from the regulators themselves_ in most other countries (developed or no).

I'm not sure where on HN you found the sentiment Jack Ma was considered a national security threat. I think you're painting a picture here that is very bizarre, and not supplying the context necessary to understand why.
This is completely ridiculous drivel.

America is manufacturing more than it ever has. It’s producing more cars, trucks, airplanes, semiconductors, software, and military weapons than ever. It’s at historical highs. Oh and, it’s also highly mechanized and done by machines now.

When did America lose entertainment to China? Back in the 90s and 00s, western people thought that China was going to steal all of Hollywood’s movies. But what happened instead? It turns out Hollywood movies are shit. The same boring stories, played by the same white actors. In a multicultural world, all the Hollywood actors are white. Why? Someone here is clueless, and it’s not the Chinese.

It turns out, that the Chinese don’t care to watch western movies. Star Wars was a flop. All the major Hollywood blockbusters flopped in China. What happened instead? The Chinese people wanted to watch movies filled with people that looked like themselves. Movies that actually had multicultural people. Movies that had Chinese people in it. And it turns out, their movies are getting pretty good. You, as a westerner might not like their movies, but your opinion doesn’t matter here, since you’re not the target market for this money.

And ironically, for a guy that professes the virtues of democracy, you’re talking about suppressing the Trump supporters, all 75 million of them that voted for him.

Did it occur to you that the Chinese don’t care about your democracy? You can vote for whoever you want. You can have all the gay rights you want. You can have all the abortion or pro-life you want. You can protest your leaders, or mock them all you want. All irrelevant to the Chinese and to the CCP.

What does the Chinese want? They just want to trade with you. And they’re willing to send their children to your schools and universities to learn English and your culture. At least before Trump threw this all away, and poisoned the well.

Did it occur to you, that the Russians are playing you instead? They’re sitting back and laughing now from the comedy of the past 4 years.

China's newfound prosperity is HEAVILY concentrated in ~100 huge cities. Smaller cities are poorer but livable like eastern europe. The countryside is basically a third world country.

Traveling through US or Europe you won't find people living in cinderblock shacks with a dirt floor and no plumbing. In China it's still the norm outside of cities.

There's not anybody starving to death, but I wouldn't consider China a wealthy country, not even close. There's very wealthy areas but a large fraction of the population still survives on a few thousand dollars a year.
