As others have said, iOS has great support for parental controls. Look at the "Screen Time" menu in settings. You can put time limits on apps or block everything but a few apps explicitly. For ultimate enforcement let someone else you trust decide the passcode for you.

You could also block certain services on your whole home network with a DNS filter. This would block anything from using Twitter/Instagram, etc. NextDNS makes this particularly easy. (Though that won't work when using cellular data and is pretty easy to bypass for someone technical)

It can be both.
I was in a hardware store looking at painter ladders and noticed many of them had the two sturdy metal ladders kept together by a piece of plastic. Pretty much everyone would think they were extremely durable, while actually the weak link would soon wear to make the entire product useless. Was it incompetence or planned obsolescence? I have no idea, still I wonder why I spotted the problem in 5 seconds straight although I am no engineer.
I deleted my Twitter & Facebook accounts, and removed the apps. Have not used those platforms in months now and no ill effects. They are so brilliantly addictive that for me at least, the only solution was to go cold turkey.

For the obvious reason: the community is divided on whether it's on topic, so some users keep submitting the stories and other users keep flagging them.

I don't know that there's much here that's intellectually interesting. This is probably one of those moments where HN can distinguish itself by not paying attention to a story.

Regarding priors, the argument "$X1 got attention so why shouldn't $X2" doesn't work on HN, because there's a power-law dropoff in interestingness along any predictable sequence. So if Jeff and MacKenzie got a lot of attention, that's actually a reason why Bill and Melinda wouldn't.

I'm not really sure that was the case to begin with though—these threads look pretty uninteresting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18868713, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18865291

I've been looking for a best practices guide for React for a while... and this is definitely not it. I was optimistic after reading the first item (an actually good point) but the entire thing went completely off the rails after that.

Anyone have any examples of _actually_ good best practices for React?
Agreed, was typing a similar comment, however yours expressed that idea better than mine.

Consider that this pattern contains N different properties that renders N different components (plus the default case), I don't know why you would want to put this into one component rather than having the consumer select the right one themselves. This even introduces the possibility of bugs - what happens if a consumer passes two sets of properties (which admittedly could be somewhat prevented by Typescript)? I don't really see the benefits of this approach for this particular example.
Behind every great fortune there is a crime.
This is not at all standard practice. It should be noted that just because you read something in a post on hacker news doesn't mean it's a good idea, common practice, or even well-reasoned. OP for example is making extensive use of Hooks, which are well-known not to be the best solution to the problem of state management within React.

For example, useState leads to prop drilling, coupling, and cumbersome usage patterns.

React is a declarative rendering library, it should handle:
A. What DOM elements are created?
B. How are those DOM elements structured?
C. What styles and attributes do those DOM elements have?

Agreed, I would have a component like <CommentDeleteButton /> render a normal <Button /> by default without these different iconProps/buttonProps/dropdownItemProps.

Then give a renderButton prop to override the Button and use whatever <Icon />, <Dropdown.Item /> you want when you are using the <CommentDeleteButton />.
Bill accumulated most of his wealth before the marriage AFAICT, so that should make things go pretty smoothly. There is the notion that he will have to continue to provide her with the standard of living established during the marriage, so he could be on the hook for substantial alimony or a one time payment to buy her out.
That's false, or at least a major distortion. Social Security is about $1T, Medicare+Medicaid is about $1T, Defense is about $0.7T. (FY 2019).

The money IS going toward health, services, etc. It's just not widely reported that way because talking about the cost of these things is not popular.

My understanding is that Linus Pauling and others had incredibly promising human trials, but attempts to replicate always seem to alter one 'minor' detail or another like adding glutathione (an anti-oxidant) or giving high dose vitamin C orally instead of intravenously. This is before they knew that Vitamin C is pro-oxidant when deliver at high dose in the blood. You want anti-oxidants to prevent cancer but once you have cancer you want oxidants. Like you want bullets.

What the mouse model suggests is that you need an immune system in the first place to get the benefits of high dose IV vitamin C (HDIVC), since the mice lacking an adaptive immune system didn't get the effect. It's unclear how exposure to different amounts of chemo, which messes with the immune system, disrupts the effectiveness of HDIVC. i.e should it be tried first, or in what combination?

No, he said masks aren't helpful. He lied to manipulate people. He caused people to mistrust the system because he isn't trustworthy.

Open to all possibilities, but would prefer to be writing low-level code (C++, Rust, etc.). Prefer >= Series A. Interesting tech to the front!
For hedge funds they used to commonly do 2 and 20 - 2% fee on investment + 20% of all profits. So if you invest $1Bn, they're getting $20m straight up, and if they make 10% on your investment ($100m) they'll make another $20m. I'm not saying that AH are exactly there - but that's likely the type of structure they use. The key though, is that a 10% return with that fee structure isn't great and they won't be getting much repeat business at that level.

Long story short, yes they'll make something even if crypto goes to 0, but it's not good business for them.
It is probably considered gossip to discuss such matters, though I often see "person X has quit Y" to which I would say is of similar newsworthiness.

EDIT: I am incorrect: TraceTogether is now using its own, non-anonymized technology[1]. Thanks detaro for correcting me. I'll still leave the comment because I'm interested in the ending question – This same damning article could have been written if TraceTogether had done everything right, so how do we effectively motivate governments to get everything right?

--------

It feels wrong to loop in the anonymized TraceTogether technology with other genuinely egregious privacy violations of the Singaporean government.

The Android/Apple exposure notifications API[0] rolled out in the early days of the pandemic is a pretty solid example IMO of handling privacy correctly. The protocol generates you a new anonymous ID every 20 minutes and locally remembers the last ~30 days of ids. Through BTLE, it collects the anonymous ids of other phones that it's within range of (and for how long), and remembers them locally for ~30 days. When someone voluntarily self-reports as COVID-positive, the API broadcasts the list anonymous ids used during their likely contagious period, allowing other phones to locally recognize if they've been exposed, and for how long.

It's hard to imagine a more private version of this with any amount of usefulness. Unless I'm missing something (which I may well be!), the privacy loss the article refers can only happen if:

1. The police can legally and physically confiscate and unlock your phone

2. The police can legally and physically confiscate and unlock the phone of the person they suspect you of being/not being within 20 feet of

3. It was less than a month ago

4. There were no other eyewitnesses or evidence of the contact

The first one, of course, also gives them access to plenty of other data we think of as private.

Because this scenario exists, you can definitely make an argument that phones are a little less private with TraceTogether than without. But with the rarity and narrowness of the breach, I have a hard time putting it even remotely close to the other pieces of the article, describing 24/7 security cameras and exposing confidential lawyer correspondences.

The article concludes:

> What’s less considered is the sheer volume of data, and the variety of types of data that the state is collecting, allowing it to piece together people’s lives with much more detail than we might realise.

...and, well, I completely agree. That's exactly the context the article seems to lack.

It's also a broader problem: How do we effectively define and communicate a right to privacy when the volume is what's so important?

All sorts of fires contribute to air pollution and barbecues are not an exception.

The compounding factor with woodstoves is that they are indoors and they are often the primary source of heat for months on end, meaning they they emit smoke and particulates into the air you breathe all day and all night.
To be fair this is a very simplistic project just to get the 2-way chat working. There are no fallbacks for anything that doesn't work correctly. There are also numerous edge cases especially iOS and Safari that would add 1,000 more lines of code to properly account for.

Not too mention all the features that people actually want like muting, toggle video, noise detection/cancellation.

So yeah, setting up a P2P video chat in 2021 is somewhat easy. Until it's not.
Exactly. My boss's wife is at home doing all the kid stuff while both my wife and I work. Yet he talks to me like he has the exact same challenges.

Just because someone has kids doesn't mean they're spending the same time with them... also age of the kids matter. High school kids don't need as much help with things as little kids.

I've been doing React for 4-5 years now. My opinion on these best practices:

1. Strongly agree. I'd add a note or two there about styled components or your favourite CSS library, and how thinking in components and the tree instead of html vs stylesheets is very useful.

2. Strongly disagree. This indeed seemed like a best practice when I was getting started, but that Action then keeps growing and growing until nobody knows exactly how it works or how to tame it. It's better to keep components small (point 1!) and focused, so let buttons be Buttons.

3. Cannot comment. I haven't worked on so many "just a CRUD app" so this might be useful for those. I can see the value of it if you have e.g. an admin panel or CMS editing a DB or similar. I would leave this repeating logic only to that though, not to the general logic of all the app.

4. Agree, but also use context to your advantage. e.g., instead of `useToggle()`, name it `useVisible()` or whatever is the appropriate name.

5. Strongly agree, it's very powerful to first write the high-level API you want by typing first the desired component tree, and then define the components themselves.

6. Yes we can try different things depending on our apps' needs, but then it's not a "React Best Practices", maybe just a useful tip? :)

Exactly, the number of people 'downstream' from Bill & Melinda Gates is quite large, and this could easily disrupt a lot of important work. That said, they are both unlikely to make rash decisions that would have a negative effect on their image, that is what that foundation was all about in the first place.

Specialty: Product. World-class design, development, and conceptualization to explode conversion and annihilate churn. Nothing more and nothing less.

Rate: [15,555, ∞) weekly, effective. Discretionarily flat.

Resume: Unavailable upon request.

Why me: Why not? Most importantly...

Frankly, I dislike work. I came to this realization a few years ago. Back then, I had a very good job with a top-shelf company, yet I was spending an inordinate amount of time wondering if "this" was "as good as it gets". Rolling out of bed in the morning is hard if you don't have a reason. Nothing to live for. This continued for a period of time. Finally, one fine summer's day, I knew that I had had enough; I called in, announced my resignation, returned the laptop, packed my bags, got in my car, and went on a very, very long drive.

Today, I work to live, not live to work. My philosophy is simple: live well while working as little as possible. So I trade high-impact expertise for cash, and spend the cash on fast cars and fast sports, and they all lived happily ever after.

Let me tell you a little about something else. I'm a perfectionist. Unfortunate but true. It's physically impossible for me to produce something inferior. Equally, once I start something, I don't stop until it's done. So I don't start very many things, and I make sure that what I do start will be worthwhile. In other words, it should be in good taste, and it should be throwing geysers of money in my direction.

Are you made for me?

* You are at or near the helm of a small- to mid-sized tech or tech-adjacent company.

* You need (my) outside expertise more than you need (your) money.

* You know what you want but not what you need.

* You want it sooner than later.

* You value quality and efficacy above all.

* Your company isn't doing anything creepy or weird.

* You have a certain fighting spirit.

* You live like every minute is precious, because it is.

I appreciate that this post was unflagged, after having been flagged. But it appears not to be listed on the front page anymore, or even on /ask. Is that on purpose? If something is not flagged and is popular, what would the reason be for hiding it?

People are not discussing the underlying article here — it is just a meta-discussion about what is allowed to be discussed on HN. It's a little surprising that this is being suppressed (either by community members or mods).

A few hours ago I was doing "repl driven development", meaning that I experimented with the repl, closed it by mistake (confusing Ctrl+D and Ctrl+C), tried to get the state I had before back using the up key, copied the history file into the project folder, removed everything unnecessary and pasted it into the repl again, and then kept developing by editing that file and pasting the result into the repl. I felt that this can't be it and made this as a demo of what I think a repl should be like.

Yes, on Feb 28…Trump did not realize the true danger of the Coronavirus.

“The basis for the claim is a comment President Donald Trump made at a rally in South Carolina on Feb. 28, when he was complaining about Democrats’ attacks on him and his administration.

Here’s what Trump said:”

"Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

An interesting thing to note is also that AWS sells pre-rolled HIPAA compatible services in a lot of their offerings. If AWS accidentally peaked into one of these services in an unauthorized manner it'd be a huge legal event and, I suspect that part of them working out that their services are HIPAA compliant involved being extremely transparent on how a number of things around those services operate with some department in the government.

Those servers, at least, should be free from any of the snooping concerns folks have.
