The major studios work very closely with Chinese Censorship board to get their movies cleared for China even during production and the board goes as far as changing scripts, characters and settings so this most likely came down from Chinese officials talking to the studio.

I honestly don't care. The "outdated look" from 10 years ago looked just fine. My browser is not my outfit. I don't need a new style all the time. I need a reliable, performant, secure, open source browser. The UI can look exactly the same for 50 years, and I would be happy.
Wow, 20-30% of deadly accidents were hit and run :(

I guess watching pain and death on TV all day long really makes you numb to the suffering of others.
Absolutely. In my not quite uneducated but nowhere near professional opinion, SARS-CoV-2 is not going anywhere, even in a best-case scenario of vaccine production and vaccination programmes, and will become endemic in the World population. However, the clinical presentation of COVID-19 as we know it will slowly disappear, and over the course of the next 5, 10 or 20 years will just become another common cold virus in circulation. There will indeed be severe cases resulting in pneumonia, of course, but there are severe cases of other common cold viruses. I think that what we've been living through in 2020 and at the moment is the birth of a new common cold virus from scratch. We're just lucky enough that our vaccine technology is advanced enough for our societies to speed up the process of training our immune systems to become accustomed to it with less loss-of-life than if nature had taken its full course.

Leverage the Halo Effect to Maximize Your Career Potential
The stupid hijackers of Freenode are pushing themselves for a huge streisand effect.

If they did nothing for some times, probably a lot of persons and projects would not even have noticed and liberachat could have been slow to gain the critical mass of users.

But now, it is like if all the users and projects have a big incentive to move and completely exit freenode as fast as possible.
Basically, yes. Here's a log of how that may look like:

There is a great thread about this on twitter [1]

SUVs/Trucks have longer blind spots. They cause significantly worse accident outcomes due to hitting the upper body and sending the person under the car, instead of over. I might be stereotyping, but I have found big cars to be particularly popular among women and mothers, many of whom have even larger blind spots due to be shorter/ the car seat not going up high enough.

> “We really feel we can see what’s in front of us, and if you tell somebody they can’t see eight feet in front of their vehicle, they think you’re crazy,” said Amber Rollins, who maintains the national injury and fatality database for KidsAndCars. “Unfortunately, not a day goes by that we don’t add a child to our database.”

> That database shows each year at least 3,000 children are injured and an average of nearly 60 kids are killed in frontover accidents in the United States. KidsAndCars tracked 575 frontover deaths over the past 10 years, compared to 304 deaths in the prior decade– an increase of 89 percent.

Small crossovers are particularly egregious because they are often just raised up hatchbacks with similar sized interiors and worse driving, worse visibility, and worse safety for everyone but the car sitting highest. I have similar but less valid complaint about SUVs when wagons have existed for time immemorial, with wagons driving better and having fewer blind spots.

On a similar note, horsepower has constantly gone up with zero improvement (or even decrease) in the quality of drivers or changes to speed limits. Why do cars need 400+ Horsepower when the buyer explicitly claims to be buying these SUVs for comfort over drivability.[2]

The last thing we need more fees coming out of our pockets.

I bet politicians are already talking about it though? Fees/fines are the polite way of taxing.

I forgot to pay by registration this year. I got the smog, and tags. Gov. Neusome was nice enough to give a two month grace period.

I got another registration in the mail, and thought it was a mistake.

My regulation is 148. The late fee was $69 dollars. That should be unserious?

I never even notice how high DMV late fees are because I always paid on time.

My point is we do not need to muck up a great electric movement with a bunch of laws that are backed up by high fees.
The Super State Design Pattern
Thanks I have seen this talk, it's a good one!

While the pattern is good to always be striving for, I think it can be too much boilerplate at times.

If I've got say 100 lines of business logic, it makes sense to have 10 lines to do the necessary data shuffling to get everything in order so that you can keep your business logic a nice pure function.

On the other hand, if you have 5 lines of business logic, it maybe doesn't make sense to have 10 lines of shuffling data to be able to keep the business logic a pure function. Not so much for the time to write it but because it can obscure the functionality for the reader.
>transparent displays are a lazy trick of film makers who overestimate the importance of characters in science fiction, and underestimate the importance of setting.

Characters are always more important than setting. You can tell a compelling story with a character alone in a room, but without any characters even an interesting setting has nothing to say.
Pure CSS Social Media Buttons with Tooltip Hover Effect
Some things work differently on TV and on books, and they changed things to make the storytelling better suited to TV. For example Camina Drummer was introduced much earlier in the TV series so that Fred Johnson had someone to talk to on screen, which wasn't needed in the novels. And then the character worked so well that they expanded it to cover more stuff.

I really like that they prefer a good story over sticking to the exact "canon" of the novels. And in "they" I include the novel authors, who are very involved in the TV series.
US involvement in Vietnam was based on complete misunderstanding. The US is not know for their cultural or historical intelligence to begin with, but McCarthyism had wiped out many China and Asia experts from the State Department.

US misunderstood the history of Vietnam and the goals of the belligerents. Vietcong also misunderstood the US.

Ho Chi Minh and Vietcong were nationalists first, communists second. US feared the domino effect that had no change of happening with Vietnam. Vietnam would not side with China for any reason and China was prepared to go to war against Russia if Russia got too much influence in Vietnam.
Yea, I'm also wondering about that. It might sound callous but it doesn't sound like a massive number of deaths when compared to other deaths in the US but I'm not really sure how many people ride bikes and for how long they are on the road.

One thing to remember is that nobody thinks of themselves as The Bad Guy. (Some people may come to believe that Previous Them was The Bad Guy, but that transformation is rare, and doesn't happen in the heat of the moment.) So when people do things that any clear-minded person would describe as Bad Guy behavior, they have to distort reality in order to maintain their Good Guy image in their own eyes.

If Andrew Lee simply wanted to destroy Freenode, he could have just pulled the plug on the domain name and/or shut down all the servers. It's clear, however, that he wants freenode to continue operating, just under his control; which means he has a reason why what he's doing is the Right Thing to do. Which means all the people advocating that their channels move over to Libera are either deluded or evil and are destroying communities. So in his mind, he's fighting the Bad Guys by seizing control of channels where the Bad Guys are abusing their privileges to destroy communities.

I mean yeah, it's easy for an independent observer to see that it's actually him who's abusing his power, and that those attempts will be counter-productive. But he's not an independent observer.

We've all got a thumb on the scales when evaluating our own behavior; its just more noticeable in a situation like this, where the thumb is more like both arms and a foot.

> Low interest rates don't make people offer 150k over asking while waiving all contingencies

Paying above offer always struck me as strange. In my housing market its very common as well, to the point I believe under-pricing the home is intentional. There's no reason the home should be priced considerably below the market price. Sometimes you get it wrong but homes consistently selling above ask tells you the sellers are under-pricing intentionally. The upside for the seller is that bidders enter blind bids where the top bidder could bid significantly higher than the next highest bid.

I think systematic under-pricing could happen when prices increase a lot in a short period and it takes the brokers a while to adjust their pricing as the trend becomes more clear. But it could also be cultural to a market where brokers feel comfortable under-pricing homes to encourage a bidding war, but that obviously doesn't work in all markets.

As for waving contingencies, that's just another form of incentive in lieu of cash.
Yes.

For any #foo that contained `libera.chat` in the topic, #foo was grabbed from all existing chanserv ops and is now managed by freenode-placeholder-account. A +ifm ##foo was set up: No one who's still on #foo can speak there, and any attempt to join redirects to ##foo.

In addition, a ##foo got created if it didn't exist. If created, it is also managed by freenode-placeholder-account.

I'm very sad for the loss of Freenode and one more nail in IRC's coffin (which is probably more nail than coffin by weight now).

That being said reading the various IRC logs and blog posts surrounding this issue I can't help but see echoes of some of the more toxic sides of "hacker culture". Diplomacy and human skills are for sissies, we're HACKERS we only care about TECH and if you're offended then you're a PC snowflake, it's just WORDS, focus on the issue, not the way it's framed.

I'm really appalled that during this whole time we haven't seen anyone come up with a "Uber for facemasks", or "Uber for coffins". It just goes to show that a) capitalism alone can't do it, b) how irrational the market is.

On the other hand, I read a few days here a post about oxygen anal delivery. I'm wondering if oxygen buttplugs wouldn't be a better, more scalable solution for the lack of oxygen machines? Used with the relevant safety precautions of course. "You may not leave your house without your face mask, nor your OButt. Remember, it's illegal to use more than 2bar pressure on the dispenser, we don't want rocket mans flying around - covid is airborne." Specially around Israel, you don't wanna be mistaken for a hamas rocket.

Perhaps with a nudge from Musk we could get them adopted fairly easily, and it would play well with the flamethrowers too, since those need oxygen to work as well. In my mind it's Marketing101. Win win. Profit. Save lives. Poppers delivered where they should.

I originally was a bit worried that we might be in a matrix ruled by bit flipped corrupt programs, as they shutdown beaches, but I come to realise that indeed, if covid comes in waves, there's no place with more waves than beaches so it makes a bit of sense.

Meh, something smells _funny_ about all this. I still don’t know what in particular Freenode did wrong, looks like it was a group of admins/volunteers who just wanted to have control over the network that they have dedicated many hours to supporting. To some extent, that’s fair - if they contributed the most to the network.

I’m always a bit cynical when I hear too many posts/comments about the “community” etc, I’ve seen first hand how many community insiders in the FOSS movement pat each other on the back and put down the work of fresh starters who are trying new things.

And now looks like the migration to libera chat will definitely take place. Me personally I’m just going to quit IRC, too much drama over nothing.

Take everything with a grain of salt, I’ve learnt not to believe everything on the internet, especially it subtly involves peer pressure (which inevitably themes of “community” bring up).

I don’t care at all about Freenode, this is just an observers view of what’s happened.

The blog post explicitly mentions the Richardson Maturity model.

He also says that even systems or designs are consciously trying to acheive Level 3 in the Richardson model (HATEOAS) such as JSON-LD with Hydra or JSON:API are still not RESTful in practice.

This seems to be the main point of the article, but it is quite hidden. The idea of an app that can display and manipulate data on a distributed network of servers using a well-defined set of JSON-based content types is very interesting. But this is not what the vast majority of currently existing "REST APIs" (even those who are using a more hypermedia-oriented format like JSON:API or JSON-LD) are trying to do.

I personally think it is too late to rebrand "REST". Like a lot of confusing names (NoSQL, Serverless, "Cloud", "JavaScript"), it is here to stay. But the main point the author is trying to make is that there are true Hypermedia API clients (which are virtually non-existent in the wild) and HTTP API with various concepts borrowed from the REST model (but are not fully RESTful themselves).

> However, since iOS apps distributed through the App Store are not allowed to build code at runtime (JIT), Apple can automatically scan them at submission time and reliably detect any attempts to exploit this vulnerability using static analysis (which they already use). We do not have further information on whether Apple is planning to deploy these checks (or whether they have already done so), but they are aware of the potential issue and it would be reasonable to expect they will. It is even possible that the existing automated analysis already rejects any attempts to use system registers directly.

Even if nothing worrying happened with Freenode until now, this thing totally is 'doing something wrong'. Blindly taking control of any channel that has 'libera.chat' in its topic should be enough of a reason to never trust them again. This is now how you manage a community.

> There's no reason the home should be priced considerably below the market price.

Partially because you comp against recent sales in the area to determine market rate, it takes a while to close so the comps you have available are usually a few months old, and the price moved a lot in a few months

This happened to me multiple times. Recent sales as late as January suggested X could win this house, I put in an offer at X+15, I'm later contacted that there's an offer at X+50 and I can put another bid in if I want to one up them

Of course in this example X is already over asking so you're right I think that this is done intentionally.
