I get it, I’m glad it exists, it’s Neat, and congrats, but it’s also amusing to me that we’ve reached the point of JS tooling where we’re making frameworks to deal with frameworks, build tool frameworks a few levels deep, etc. It just seems like so much…stuff. And now we have stuff to help us use less stuff, but it’s still stuff in itself.

Nothing is stopping anyone from opening notepad and writing HTML with inline style, then using FileZilla to FTP/SCP that to a server (probably a VPS these days) somewhere, or publish it on GitHub/GitLab Pages.

I remember a time when people here would cite http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ a lot. Modern browser APIs can do more than ever. I wonder if there’s a more recently-updated equivalent about how one might not need node tooling at all to build a static site.
>It feels like most of the recent fascination with drones is due to overlap with civilian off-the-shelf technology and the fantasy of being able to buy something that could potentially go toe to toe with advanced militaries.

Yes, it's because it's a harmless toy that can turn dystopian. That's why people's imagination is running wild. It's like that Furby horror game (tattletail). It's the "your nightmares are becoming real" kind of stuff.
Well, the problem with the event viewer is that you kinda have to know what you're looking for beforehand.

I rarely use windows, so I don't know the conventions (if there are any), but I remember one case of someone attempting a remote desktop connection that had an error along the lines of what I said: "Cannot connect". I've never found where the logs for the RDP client were. For servers, we dump the logs in Elasticsearch, so a naïve query will at least set me on the right track.

I'm also not a particularly patient person, so the unbearable slowness of the event viewer's search function and the fact that I never know if I'm looking for Thing, Microsoft Thing, Windows Thing, or ThngSvc, I usually give up in frustration.

And, again, had I had an event id or something, the Find in the event viewer might have been more helpful.
It's almost impossible to predict this kind of even for a a very simple reason - markets not only react on objective events, but also react on expectations and fear/greed.

One of my favourite simplification is weather forecast - currently feather doesn't depend on our expectations of it and predicting it is already extremely difficult task. Now you can imagine if weather would factor in what we expect it to be - and forecasting would be even more complicated.

That's said, it may be important or unimportant event, however noone has capacity to predict it (although in the hindsight there will be a lot of those who will brag that they had seen it coming).
You are labeling all SeaSteaders with the anti-authoritarian libertarian types. This is not what my comment stated.

Right now, states use each other to circumvent domestic laws. It really doesn’t seem far fetched that a larger state would allow a smaller one to exist if it were geopolitically/economically/etc. in its (the larger state) interest. If anything, it’s more likely, because they can be more easily controlled.

> What IP is being held back?

Design specs, software specs, for all the things between "sunlight" and "DC electricity", as well as tools to manufacture those things, and the tools to manufacture those...

My point is that we have to give them the technology without making them dependent on the west for maintenance. Short-term, they need to know how to operate, fix, and jury-rig it themselves. Mid-term, they need to know how to manufacture it out of components bought on the global market. Long-term, they need to be able to manufacture them themselves from scratch. To get there, they cannot be hamstrung by IP licensing making them pay through the roof and/or ask for permission to do anything with green technologies.

At least in Europe, Skyscanner has more airlines than Google Flights, which makes the latter kinda useless if it misses the cheapest/shortest flight.

Can anyone translate that into practical terms? To me that doesn’t match this post’s title, currently “AppStore: Apps supporting account creation must also offer account deletion”.

Quote:

The app must also include a mechanism to revoke social network credentials and disable data access between the app and social network from within the app. An app may not store credentials or tokens to social networks off of the device and may only use such credentials or tokens to directly connect to the social network from the app itself while the app is in use.

There’s nothing about account or stored-data-about-me deletion in there.
Read it again using another technique, and you may have a different feeling.
I think a key difference is that traditionally average farms have been quite small in here, just a few hectares. So a farm with old buildings and small field area would definitely be very affordable. If you'd want to acquire farm for _farming_, then you would need to go orders of magnitude bigger and that would be costly.

If solitude is what you're looking for, keep in mind basically all of these are surrounded by forests. So even having a relatively small property does not mean you'd be living next to some people.

You implied that democratic control over your taxes was not enough. I wanted to point out you have far less control over how people who don't pay tax and who you don't elect. I am glad you now agree that democratic control is an altogether preferable situation than letting billionaires spend their money undertaxed as they please.
A few years ago I was part of an AI customer service startup. One of our first customers was a web hosting company, and we were supposed to take some of the load off the chat support team.

When we talked to the support team they told us their by far largest task was handling account deletions. They had tried to just put a button in the control panel, but the CEO of the company thought it was bad for retention.

So we started writing scripts for "I want to cancel my account" and similar requests. The official process also required the users to verify by email after talking to support, so there were a number of steps. Eventually we needed an API call for actually completing the process. But we were told the CEO had to approve.

The CEO didn't know we were working on automating account deletions. And when we finally got to talk to him about giving us API access, he decided it would be easier to just add an account deletion button to the control panel.
That's how we lost our initial business case.

You need to account for the purchase of Uber shares here:

> you had to sell $175M of your Uber shares

If you had these separately to the Theranos etc shares, you had to buy them. Since the $175M was a full loss of $175M then that can't account for the (non-losing) Uber shares.

> you had to sell $175M of your Uber shares, which you wouldn't have had to sell if you had just kept your $175M in your bank account

You'd need to know to only invest in Uber, and not in Theranos etc to do this. The idea of the portfolio is you need to invest broadly to allow for the successes. If you kept the $175M in your bank account, you wouldn't be able to achieve that.

Memorizing and learning are the same process to me. What would be different is attempt at retention.

However, this is not strictly necessary because when you relearn a subject, you often relearn it faster due to previous experience(memory) with the subject matter.

If your goal is to retain skill/knowledge over time, than that's a different matter.
Just an aside, this is why I enjoy playing with open-source music things and Arduino / ESP32 ecosystem stuff more than web tech in my free time. There are some commercial uses, but still a ton of hobbyists doing it for the love of the process and just for fun / because we can. A whole lot of cool stuff exists in these spaces. Definitely worth a look.
That's not true see their zero access encryption[1]

I guess if you're not going to trust anyone (and personally I'd trust ProtonMail based on their honest blog posts, security responses and response to security blog posts criticising their work) then you'd want to self-host. But I'd argue at that point email isn't the solution you're looking for.

Or indeed, deletion of your comments. The way dang explained it to me was that each comment thread is a shared work created by multiple people rather than a collection of individual comments.

Yep. I spent my own $40k (it is huge sum for Ukraine) trying to implement #1 and #2 with some success, but found that nobody really interested in saving of our planet, even when it cheaper and provides better comfort. Western engineers have some interest for my solutions, but nobody else (which is expected, because I'm the engineer too).

For example, climate battery is a very simple thing. In our climate, temperature of earth at depth of 2m is 7°C all year round for $0. By additional insulation and insolation, this temperature can be raised to 20-20°C, to have comfortable temperature in a house all year round for $0. Nobody interested in that, because nobody will buy a house without a powerful heating system.

#3 and #4 are easy to implement too, but my English is too weak to explain it properly. #3 is like e-bike on zip line (google "bike zip"), but with 4 lines for additional safety and comfort. #4 is like a giant sink with generator installed at top of a drain.

As someone working predominantly on React sites for the last 4 years or so I absolutely agree. Of course you can write quick, responsive and solid sites with React but it’s not the automatic process some would like you to believe, you still have to try and often the effort required is not trivial. The problem I often find is that optimising React sites needs a bunch of knowledge and skills which are only tangentially and most related to those which you’d use to optimise a more traditional site. This is related to the topic of the OP i think; knowing how to write good css is a skill which css-in-js tries to pretend doesn’t matter but which absolutely does - things like Styled Components effectively enforce certain good practices but don’t remove the need to understand whats going on under the hood in all but the most basic of situations.

> but it eliminates one possible source of malicious behavior.

Why is it that every single discussion about blockchain starts with "it opens up unprecedented opportunities never seen before and will disrupt eveyrthing" and ends with "well, it will maybe perhaps help in some minor way"?

In this discussion:

How it started: "irrevocable timestamps and ordering for cryptographic signatures provide a level of audibility and traceability that wasn't there before."

How it's going: "it eliminates one possible source of malicious behavior"

Since the early 2000s, the world is in a savings glut (1) situation. That means you shouldn't ask yourself a question of is asset X worth its valuation?, but rather ask the question do savings have anywhere else to go?.

Also - ignore crypto, it's a distraction. Zooming out, it's just a simple wealth transfer: dollars in => black box => dollars out. Dollars out go to miners, exchanges, scams and the lucky few who cash out. Nothing in the black box can conjure up new dollars. Once the dollar inflow stops, it's over. Crypto is not worth $1.5T, not even close, there's at most a few dozen billions in the ecosystem - a rounding error in the grand scheme of things.

US tech stocks are overpriced, US startups ridiculously so (savings glut faucet flooding a small sector in search of something, anything). Real estate in a few selected locales is a bubble, but not overall.

The worrying part is not the asset prices, but what it tells us - that the largest wealth funds and corporations in the world cannot find anything worth investing in.

> The consensus for a pure asset like bitcoin comes from marketwide supply and demand.

That's where the trouble lies, though, as various entities are doing their best to manipulate marketwide supply and demand all the time (advertising/PR/tariffs/sanctions/etc), and generally the more powerful said entity already is, the easier time they have of it. The laws of physics, thankfully, are immune to human manipulation.

By contrast, a transaction backed by the trust between two individuals is harder to manipulate at scale. Laws still apply, but nobody's going to run global ad/PR campaigns about the value of your neighbor Bob's lawn mowing skills. That's between you and Bob.

Amusing to me to see the return to concepts that the dynamic web started with in the form of CGI, mod_perl, Cold Fusion, PHP, ASP.NET and all that. It’s the same, but different. Next we’ll be on to multi-tiered caching.

What’s the difference conceptually between islands and e.g. Hole-punching in Varnish? The result in each case seems to be a site that is mostly static with some dynamic portions.
I don't mean to sound frustrated, because this is a volunteer open-source project, not VC-backed corporate software, but whenever the Emacs package flycheck reports an error message, I find the fact that it says (paraphrased) "Please include these details when filing your error report. Thanks!" to be a bit condescending.

It's just something about being thanked in advance for an action I did not intend to do that irks me. It implies to me that the reward for doing it has been given to me without my consent, and now I'm obligated to follow up on my part to prove I deserve it. It ultimately makes me less likely to file a bug report, stemming from this unease.

It's a really minor thing, and definitely not worth getting angry over, but for some reason I always remember it whenever a discussion about out-of-touch error messages happens.

There are taxes A B. B includes A.

ProPublica says "we'd love to see more of A, which is separate from B, as B doesn't seem especially workable".

A and B are not the same, even if one encompasses the other in some meta sense.

A is actionable in a direct sense. And if you wanted to do it in a direct sense, the M2M date you'd pick would not be the first day of the tax year. And you wouldn't use a fixed formula that ignored actual results of the asset.
Right, but I'm still reading that as "you must allow people to log-out (locally)".
