But there is a difference between a volunteer action by some browser developers, and the law. I think the bigger problem is that there are different policies in place in different legislation, so it would be very challenging to implement something that satisfies the needs.
If you're convinced fascism has arrived in America, you'll excuse any means necessary to topple the dictator and to prevent a reoccurrence. The issue is in doing so, they've become the tyrannical force they propose to oppose.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." — Harry S.

I think React's main role here is just to provide structure to the code base: React component as the basic unit of logic encapsulation and then composing logic by combining React components.
I'm not sure I agree with your article.

I can think of at least one way to structure an ISA such that incentives aren't aligned. Since it's relatively risk-free, the ISA could essentially just optimize for number of students rather than quality.

This already happens in things like recruiting where incentives supposedly align; so I don't think it would be a stretch to apply it to ISA agreements.

It's like the illustrative story of the shaman/psychic who offers to change the lottery odds for you for a cut of the winnings.

What would be interesting is if the ISA /paid/ you a living wage on completion until you found a job.

Definitely agree with a few of the suggestions in the article. Personally, the mobile-first UI changes they made a long time ago with new Reddit were so tragically bad that you could almost consider them a canary. My Reddit usage dropped significantly after that change even with old.reddit.com hanging around.

On a desktop or a laptop when you visit reddit.com it still resets to their card layout every time unless you login and you still have to click through twice to get to comments even if you explicitly click the comments link. Majority of my usage was logged out and that was not going to change.

Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook are also bad about this. Being logged out is dissatisfying on those sites, so I rarely visit them and don't like when they're returned in search results. HN, Flickr, Pluto.TV, YouTube, Zoom and others don't punish you so much for that.

They love the exclusivity, status and authority. Authority and social justice go hand-in-hand.

At least in IntelliJ, I find using the local file history stuff painful. With explicit source control, I'm making specific decisions to check in known states. When I have to resort to the local file history stuff, there's a lot more of "oh, here I undo'd a typo" and so on type of things.

That said, it can be a lifesaver when I didn't make an explicit commit, then started doing stuff, then realized "ok this got out of hand AND I wish I could go back five minutes but it's gonna be annoying."
>> I just want to learn how to write compliers and how a MOSFET works, but you want me to take university-level theater? I could learn theater on my own if I wanted to.

Ya, and the acting students can learn about "compliers" online too. Outside of a garage startup, an engineer is useless if they cannot integrate into a larger team through the spoken and written word. I've run into BS students who haven't read a book since highschool. I've met compsci masters students who still panic if asked to stand up and explain their work to a large group. If a few hours learning about theatre helps solidify your language and presentation abilities, maybe it should be mandatory.

Honestly, for third parties reading, this is just utter nonsense. Just go pull SWITRS data from CA and look at it yourself. The last time I looked at it, it was easy to get, and the schema was trivial to analyse in a REPL. Car-bike collisions are overwhelmingly car-driver-at-fault (60-40), and bike-only collisions are rare.

Car-only people identify so strongly with their cars, it's weird. And for some reason they are over-represented on the Internet and argue all this "they are dangerous" nonsense about everyone else. In real life, people commonly accept small inefficiencies in order to perform small acts of kindness for each other.

I drive an SUV, ride my motorcycle, and also bicycle so I've had the fortune of seeing how people interact with me on all these modes of transportation. In San Francisco, most people are kind¹. Here are some anecdotes from the last couple of months:

* Riding in the Richmond to Hawk Hill on my bicycle. At most stop signs, drivers prioritized not forcing cyclists to stop. They do this by approaching a stop sign slower so that they force themselves to not have right-of-way and wave. This is what I do, and I notice it in a lot of others.

* On my motorcycle on a steep hill, I stalled right as the light turned green (engine wasn't anywhere near warm enough for me to have taken the choke off, old bike). No one honked. They were fairly patient.

* Took an exit off the freeway into the city late at night and there was a car wedged on the median. Got off to go help the driver and the three of us got it off. Most people let me in when I signal. It's so much the default that I get mildly offended when someone doesn't. I always let people in.

¹ or at least if they're angry they hide it behind the interface with others, which is enough

Additionally, I believe there are studies showing that immigrants always do significantly better than those of a similar socioeconomic group in their home countries because immigrants are self-selected group who sought out better opportunities and often dedicate themselves to bettering their own lives. It's a little bit of nuance, but I think its important since so often people (not you!) stereotype immigrants as part of the 'tired, poor, huddled masses' when in the modern era due to statutory requirements to get a VISA, immigrants are not the bottom most of any society.

I just don't understand the parent post, the Democrats want MORE people to be able to vote, how is that "planning to never lose an election again"? The Republicans are the only ones who ever fight to suppress votes, most recently the attacks on absentee voting in Georgia, which are a direct result of two Democrats winning there and has absolutely nothing to do with "illegal immigrants" or election security on any level.

Which one sounds more like "planning to never lose an election again", the scheme where more people vote or the scheme where fewer people vote?

privacy.com (https://privacy.com, or If you want to use a referral, privacy.com/join/NPNDJ ) is also free and works across any bank/debit card, although just recently they started monetizing by limiting free accounts to creating 12 virtual cards a month, so if you need more it's $10/mo.

Note that services can see if a card is virtual and might block them from signing up for free trials. Digital Ocean, for example, does this to prevent referral fraud. Netflix also used to block virtual cards from signing up for the free trial when they had one.

IME reddit isn't that bad, but it is bad. I can get a good comment upvoted, but not 100% of the time. It's like 50-75% of my comments depending on the tone or disagreement.

Some really batty and bigoted stuff gets upvoted all the time, but IMO the platform is overall very left leaning. It can be pretty inconsistent.

Communities like HN are better, but elsewhere on social media it can get really bad. Digg was horrendous. I don't think I saw a single unpopular opinion not get buried into oblivion. Then I switched to reddit and it's that solid 50-75% I mentioned. You might have to pander or sugar coat it, but you can get the idea out there. It was a big improvement. I think reddit is a cesspool for other reasons.
That assumes that Tether is being honest and not printing unbacked coins to drive the price up.

So, no, it would still tank the price, because the price is quite likely inflated through fraud.
All systems are poorly designed. There is no perfect system. But the default failure state of AI not predictively accounting for a case is making a bad decision; while the failure state of a “cybernetic expert system” not predictively accounting for a case is stalling in confusion and asking for more input. Usually, stalling in confusion and asking for more input is exactly what we want. You don’t want an undertrained system to have false confidence.

If we could get pure-AI systems to be “confused by default” like humans are, such that they insist on emitting “unknown” classification-states whether you ask for them or not, they’d be a lot more like humans, and maybe I wouldn’t see humans as having such an advantage here.
> a classics degree is the easiest option

Early 2020 I installed grapheneos on my phone. It had the awesome side effect of not allowing me to install social media apps. I mean, you really can if you want to, but why would you?

I explained to my Facebook friends that I was leaving and why, and that they can get in touch via sms, email, or signal. I had left Facebook before in the early 2010s for a few years, but had been back for a few years.

I found most people did not want to interact outside Facebook messenger. It has been really hard to get people to migrate over to signal. Even my family chat is no longer used on signal, even though they all have signal and I created the group, they prefer Facebook.

Businesses and even government use Facebook day to day for services and information. It really annoys me because it excludes us people not on that service. It is so presumptuous to assume that everyone is on Facebook. And its really dangerous to think that it should be a prerequisite for participating in the real world.

I really enjoy not participating in the "fake life" rat race. Some people may not report this phenomenon in their feeds, but as a guy in early 30s, its a common thread. Even if people don't consciously do it, it seems that is the accepted way to interact and post about life events. The reflex of taking a photo firstly to share with others online, to change how they perceive you. I did not enjoy all the aspects of how social media was influencing how we interact with our peers, so I quit.

I would love a secure decentralised social media option. Where I can post and others can subscribe, not matter their client or service. I wish that businesses and governments can do the same, and I don't have to be on Facebook to receive information about Covid vaccine rollout.

"As a hiring strategy it works ok"

From an employer's perspective, I think an elite college-only hiring strategy can work fine if the employer itself is prestigious or there's a clear unique value proposition there. For others, they're going to incur a negative selection penalty that may outweigh the signalling value that pedigree provides.
Third party cookies are not simply a matter of making adtech developer's lives easier. Imagine you visit shoes.example and are now on news.example. Both of these sites work with ads.example, and the shoe site would like to show you a shoe ad.

With third party cookies this looks like (simplified MVP form):

1. When you visited shoes.example, it loaded a pixel from ads.example. That pixel automatically sent your ads.example cookie, and put you on a remarketing list.

2. When you visit news.example, it sent an ad request to ads.example, which also automatically sent your ads.example cookie. Now the ad tech vendor knows to include the ad from the shoe site because it recognizes the third-party cookie.

On the other hand, without third-party cookies or any replacement browser APIs, how do these identities get joined? Very occasionally someone will follow a link between a pair of sites, and then you can join first party identities, but you probably don't have a chain of identities that connects a news.example first-party identity to a shoes.example identity.

Yep, the partisanship is absolutely insane, far worse than in years past.

Not only that. As a user it's incredibly frustrating entering a password 5 or more times each morning. This results in users using extremely weak passwords.

The same is true for forcing users to reset their password every 50 days or so, by the way. This outdated password guideline doesn't seem to die. I know way to many cases where people are using a weak base password with a number attached to it because they got sick of trying to remember a new password every month.
I think this article has a shallow take on the effects of governmental debt. It's not we run a significant risk of the whole system falling like a house of cards, it's that this perpetual QE is leading to a massive redistribution of wealth from the poor to the very rich.

There is no such thing as free money, inflation is the hidden tax that pays for all this.

I agree with this:

> Never the hands of authorities whether those be government or corporate.

But I'm not sure about this:

> Judging what is and is not misinformation must always be in the hands of the people.

It's definitely a very difficult problem. I like to think that I personally can distinguish decently well between information and mis/dis-information, but I look around and see plenty of people who simply cannot. And I could also be wrong about myself. The pandemic itself has at least had the effect of showing me that I can't always figure out what's true by intuition.

So I guess I believe that people in general are not good at making the distinction. We're too emotional. I'm inclined to say that a digital solution has the best chance of defeating this digital problem. A computer for President, I guess.

> Yet somehow the common response to “college is expensive” is “get rid of it” instead of “make it less expensive.”

I don't know what country you are talking about but at least in the US, we have community colleges which are very cheap and can "educate people in the skills necessary for being good citizens". It is only the worthless degrees from private / for-profit colleges which are a problem.
It's not just humanities degrees that are the problem. The problem is the market is not actually in "high demand" like higher education advertises. Graduating CS students across the U.S. are turned down by employers constantly and end up working in a job that doesn't require their degree nor does it use any skills from it. I have multiple friends in this exact situation.

We need to remove federal student loans for college to finally fail and be taken over by real market demand education.
You very specifically claimed "You can take redemption from tether and they will wire you the money".

There is no evidence that this is the case. Tether sure doesn't offer such a service openly.
Except that there is a distinction between an individual performing an action of their own volition, and an individual performing an action to obtain income. The first represents the true will of the individual, while the latter only requires their desire to have a roof over their head.

And as I said, the entity of the NYT is afforded protections that individuals are not. If individual rights are supremely important to the individuals making up the NYT, the individuals involved are still free to act outside of their corporate shell.

As a much newer developer, the biggest problem I have with git is that I rarely end up actually making one change at a time. I'll be working on some larger thing, and in the process I'll notice and quickly fix a smaller thing before returning to the original task. This might be a typo in a code comment, a poorly named variable, or a block of code I realize is dead.

I suspect this is the type of tendency which goes away with experience, but it makes git a lot less useful. My commits won't really tell you what changed; the most they can tell you is the primary change I was working on.

That's unfortunate that he chose to respond that way.

I might disagree with you on Trump but I think we probably have far more in common than we disagree on. I don't know how anyone thinks we're going to solve our real problems if we can't have constructive conversations about where we agree and disagree, and how we can both compromise to work toward what is probably a shared goal.

I believe most Americans have the same basic goals: good health, prosperity, security, and strong community. Most of where we disagree is around how to achieve those goals. Unfortunately, too many people get caught up in the "how" and that it makes it so much harder to get anything done.
Maybe, maybe not. Why is there never any mention of the horrors of the Arab Slave Trade in these discussions? And why does no one mention that it was the British who spearheaded the global abolition of slavery?
Eidolon is a now defunct online magazine specifically about the classics. The last thing they did was publish a 'fail' essay. In it the head editor, who holds a PhD from Princeton in the Classics, goes through all the challenges, mis-steps, and lessons they all learned. 'Fail' essays in tech are a dime a dozen. But in the classics, they tend to be rare. As such, Eidolon's essay is a goldmine.

Two things stuck out to me the most:

1) This passage was particularly worrying: "I’m not going to downplay the extent of the problems we’re facing. In addition to the concerns facing Classics specifically and the humanities more widely, there are also enormous and terrifying problems facing higher education in general. Even before the massive disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, these problems already looked insurmountable: on one side the student debt crisis, which has financially crippled an entire generation, and on the other side the increasing precarity of the academic workforce has made teaching Classics (and every other discipline in academia, really) a terrible professional prospect. This is not to mention academia’s endemic problems with classism and sexual harassment."

2) The author/head editor was Donna Zuckerberg. If that name sounds a bit familiar, it's because it is. She is the sister of Mark Zuckerberg, one of the richest people in history. That her assessment of Eidolon's efforts is so dour and bleak, despite her astronomical privilege, should register that there is indeed 'something wrong in Denmark' (the humanities).

The rest of the essay goes into much more depth about what exactly is wrong. But the essence is simple: The Humanities, and the Classics specifically, are Dead.

"Abandon every hope, who enter here."

>The letter complains about Fox and OANN's partisan and inflammatory rhetoric,

>they suggest censoring Fox News, which accurately reported the election results and Supreme Court developments. The conspiracy theories, such as they were, came from some of the opinion hosts.

It's hard to believe we're at this point, but Fox is on a different level from OANN. You can find counterpoints on Fox News. OANN/Breitbart/the Mercer family media empire are a new, more vicious and fantasy-driven right-populism.

If the right would keep its own house in order, you'd see less appetite for restrictions on the left. You need a boogeyman to sell this kind of thing. I can see your WaPo editor (in the private sector) and raise you plenty of Republican Congressmembers posing with rifles and Lindsey Graham trying to employ Brad Raffensperger.
