I have an objection to a particular paragraph:

> > We understand that nearly everyone who provides material to a reporter is doing so in ways that reflect their worldview, agenda or biases. We have long held that those motives are irrelevant if the information is reliable.

> This is an … insane statement? — both rationally and morally. Truth can't ever be a sole criteria for publishing. It's necessary, but not sufficient. To suggest otherwise ought to flunk someone out of first year journalism school.

This is a misinterpretation of the quoted text. Propublica says that the motive of the source is not part of the set of criteria for publishing (unless it the information is unreliable), not that reliability is the sole criterion for publishing. Propublica's article explicitly says that privacy is a legitimate concern. "One of the billionaires mentioned in this article objected, arguing that publishing personal tax information is a violation of privacy. We have concluded that the public interest in knowing this information at this pivotal moment outweighs that legitimate concern."
That’s not a very elegant solution in any front-end JS framework. Calling directly to css/element styles is generally strongly discouraged.
> Have you known of a case where a large institution sends a legitimate email to a small provider, the small provider rejects it, and the large institution does nothing about it?

It's usually the other way around, in my experience: I'm sending something from a relatively small provider (or a institutional mailserver), and it's rejected (sometimes silently) by a larger receiver. The reasons tend to be opaque, and support is nonexistent (presumably because the overwhelmingly amount incoming mail is illegitimate).

It's a hard problem, and the reality is that Google has made the average user's email experience radically better. But the drawback of that is that they rule the ecosystem by fiat, and that there are relatively few entities that can play keep-up with Google's (unpublished?) standards for reliable delivery. Getting booted out of Gmail increasingly means being left out in the cold, especially as institutions (like the company I work for!) use GSuite for mail.
I just use pass[0]. I namespace all my "passwords" with either "web/" "contact/", "local/" etc depending on what it is.

So contacts are my address book.

pass edit contact/john.smith

And the contents are just toml files, eg

name = "John Smith"
email = "john@example.com"

pass show contact/john.smith | toml2json | jq '.email'

Edit: I also wrote a little script that will crawl the contacts and build out a vCard for phones, email, etc. This works for me.

You're suspicious because the results don't match up with your bias?

The ten second break doesn't really provide the ability to change focus to something else. It's not very long and you are limited to what you can focus on, so the ten seconds will more likely be spent on determining how to improve performance.

An underlying appeal of React is it's just Javascript (yes even JSX templates). CSS-in-JS gives you the same flexibility and control over CSS from Javascript. No need to learn SASS, Less etc. It replaces the functionality those utilities with just Javascript. No setup required.
It seems to be possible to be in a conscious state without consciously thinking about anything at all. Presumably consciousness is created by a subconscious process. I can't say much more than that it's possible for information-processing systems (such as the human brain) to be conscious. My guess is that consciousness is a non-physical, emergent property, that only exists while a certain component of the information processing system is operating in a particular way.
Or even better, just don’t write bugs.
Do you need an open source alternative to SurveyMonkey / Typeform?
What do you think? Is there a need for an open source alternative to SurveyMonkey/Typeform? After helping companies collect customer feedback for the past few years, I realized it's time for a modern, privacy-friendly open source alternative to Survey-Monkey and Typeform - self-hosted, easy to use & with integration capabilities into your own systems. Platforms like LimeSurvey are way too complicated and outdated in any way! Have you had this problem, too? What would you use it for?

How many of those things are just unnecessary red-tape and bureaucracy, intended to justify spending on what is essentially jobs programs? I too remember the "save the forests" campaigns back in middle school when alternative bags were recommended. Some politician and their office somewhere were getting an easy cushy job mandating those types of things and moving paper around to "save the forests." So I am skeptical when things are mandated and taxes collected for paper pushing, optimistic when companies are formed to earn contracts as rewards for the problems they solve.

You say that would be double taxation, but that's only because bezos avoided taxation entirely on that appreciation while alive, a nice perk the vast majority don't get. So really with the most modest reform you tax the appreciation 20% cg then estate tax on the remainder. Considering all that appreciation compounded without tax for years, they still make out astoundingly well

There is no good competitor to YouTube - there are a lot of bad ones yes, but no good one. I'd argue this is objective fact.

I use fastmail and my own domain, but most people use gmail - I don't think that's that big of a deal though.

It's odd they'd target Google in the OP - telecom providers like Comcast and Spectrum are much worse in how they treat their customers and in those cases there really isn't another option most of the time.

Does that mean water shouldn't be a utility?

Or what was your point exactly?
Pre-existing tiny nations are grandfathered into the international legal system thanks to, well, their pre-existence. Also, almost all of them are either (1) already bowing to the will of their bigger neighbors (e.g., all Caribbean micro-nations and the US, Georgia and Russia), or (2) in the middle of nowhere that nobody cares about (e.g., Nauru), or maybe both.

If any "seastead" gains traction and it becomes enough of a problem to, say, the US, nobody would even need any missiles. The US will simply declare it being illegal (for everyone) to do any business with these people. I hope the seasteaders have experience in subsistence fishing - they will need it.
What does it make you suspect their motivations are?
Yes, but more likely the major naval powers would just ignore you unless you were doing something that specifically angered them (fugitives, human trafficking, piracy, etc).

Otherwise I think they'd be happy to let you sit there on your leaky little scurvy raft in international waters as long as you want. Piracy is a much bigger problem if you have anything valuable and aren't just sea hobos, but it's more likely the weather is gonna mess you up first.

We can have both an approval process and an end to the prescription system. We almost do already with prescriptions for off-label uses being common, although that turns every doctor into a drug dealer.

The approval process would then be a regulation on advertising, rather than a regulation on what is banned and what is not.

It's not important, but I wondered if the title was an allusion to one of the patterns in Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language" titled "A room of one's own", about the necessity in designing houses to give everyone some bit of space that's distinctly theirs. The theme seems kind of similar, and PG makes a lot of architectural references in the essay.

In googling for "A room of one's own", though, I discovered that it's also the title of an essay by Virginia Wolfe written in 1929. It's possible that might possibly have inspired the name of the pattern in Christopher Alexander's book.

> Still, I'm thinking that as it improves, it's going to show that doctors are not that good at their job on average, and that's going to be fun to watch.

Medical AI is trained on labels generated by doctors. Can you explain how it will exceed the performance of doctors on average? Are you assuming that the labels will be generated by the "top x%" of doctors? If so, how will you identify those individuals? Or is there some other mechanism you're expecting to improve the performance?
Printers are so bad that you can't even trust Epson or Canon to write a good firmware for their printers, let alone drivers.

It's incredible that they get reliably outperformed on their own professional printers by software written by microscopic third parties (like http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html), the reduction in bronzing, gloss differential etc. is night and day.

First paragraph is correct.

The caveat would be that the capital gain during sale is calculated based on the difference from the price at vesting. So the original taxation is carried with you while you hold the stock which is the mechanism that you thought didn't exist for a reason.

For the second paragraph, it's not so different from real estate market fluctuations. You pay taxes based on the value of your property at a specific date even if that value tanks the very next day.

Does this mean they're not allowed to write to the DOM? Because if they are allowed to write to the DOM, they can just add a script tag that loads a script from an arbitrary URL.

Also, the example shows a use of fetch. What keeps the script from eval-ing a string from the result of that fetch?

I agree with a bunch of your point, but I want to contest one thing - opioids are not necessarily safe by following your doctor's guidelines.

There's not (as far as I've found) currently any consistent threshold for how much of a given opioid you have to take for how long to develop an addiction. Some people might be able to take a high dose for an extended interval and not blink. Some people might take a much lower dose and have a very bad time indeed. (For that matter, I've known some people who got IV opioids with no effect. Biochemistry is wild.)

So I don't think it's reasonable to argue "opioids are safe if you follow the guidelines" and "OTC pain meds are unsafe [if you ignore the guidelines]" - both have risks that you can try to mitigate by following the guidelines given, but unknown factors can result in it still having negative outcomes.

Thank you! I am also not even saying Google _should_ be a utility just that the standards for what makes something a utility candidate are not standard but rather arbitrary. Most utilities came about through lobbying one way or another not through some clinical application of rules.

Ask HN: I quit my job and my employer won’t take their equipment back
I quit my job effective April 19th and I still have the laptop, two monitors, and a box full of random peripherals (all unopened) the employer sent to me when I started. I should note that I explicitly asked them NOT to send me monitors and other hardware before I started, but they were sent anyway as part of an automated process I guess.

I’ve since asked multiple times to send these items back so I’m not held financially responsible for them. I finally got the company to send a box/return auth for the laptop, but when asking about the rest of the equipment, they responded with:

> Currently, our IT team is unable to accept items larger than laptops. Once offices have been deemed safe to re-open, Employee Experience and IT will communicate the next steps via your personal email address.

I don’t want the financial responsibility or the physical burden of storing and protecting this equipment anymore, but they refuse to let me send it back. What recourse do I have?

I just sent them an email with an ultimatum to either accept the items, forfeit them, or pay for me to insure and store them off site within 30 days. I don’t know if that will be enough to make them take their equipment back. Do I have any legal obligation to continue storing these items for an undetermined amount of time months after I’ve left the company? (The company is based in the U.S.)

Seasteading (at least in its current libertarian guise) has always seemed to me like a bunch of rich people just wanting to run (float?) away from the problems they themselves helped create.

Like how about instead of spending billions on floating company towns, you spend some of that money on helping the billions of people globally who are sick, homeless or hungry?

But no, they just want private floating pleasure palaces where they can avoid paying taxes and do drugs, while the rest of us schmucks stuck on land continue to subsidize their "Entrepreneurship" by paying taxes that support the infrastructure their businesses exploit, and paying for the negative externalities their "Disruption" creates.
feels less like a new stage or next stage & more like the slow ongoing eating of everything by the wealth holders.

article injects this smallest viable crumb of doubt as a problem:

> But at the same time, critics argue that its tenets of lowering taxes and deregulating business has done little to support political investment in public services, such as crumbling public infrastructure, improving education and mitigating health risks.

oh it's fine that fewer & fewer have any chance to make something viable in the ultrascale hyperindustrial world. it's fine that wealth & industry continues a rapid rapid concentration. but oh there's not enough tax money to keep the rest of the world remotely functioning.

yeah that's a problem. a big one. but even if most people were getting by even if the infrastructure & support systems weren't crumbling, therecs an inequality writ large that screams iniquity. the article tip toes quietly around how large & serious this drift is, talking about authorities that one provided, & an opening of more democratic means, but never taking about how the new ultra-haves have so little need to support or grow the polities that their slightly more mortal older counterparts had never quite transcended.

we are in a scary age, reeling at what we have wrought, scared at how little we even compend. and our response has been to take and take and take from the pool of possibilities & powers we once we're trying proudly to build. most of this grasping for security & comfort is flailing & ineffectual, but it makes us feel like we are maybe in control, maybe doing something. this is another example where nothing is gained, everything is lost.
It's not mentioned in this page or the Manifest V3 design document[1], but buried in the "Migrating to Manifest V3" article[2], there's a slightly cryptic note:

In other words, scripts with access to the extension APIs are no longer allowed to specify the "unsafe-eval" CSP, and so they can no longer call eval().
