If you ever get curious how can UI be so slow, after all "its just js, js is fast", here is how they handle closing browser Tabs currently:

https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/nrasof/fix_...

tldr: Tab bar is just a DIV full of SPANs, one SPAN per Tab. Pages are in a list of DIVs containing iframes. Switching a Tab is a simple process of moving "active" class from one SPAN to another and changing style of one iframe to "visibility: hidden; z-index: -1;" while another one gets "visibility: inherit; z-index: initial;". So far so ~good. So how does Vivaldi handle Tab close? You would guess closing a Tab would entail

- switching iframe visibility away from Tab being closed first - instant visual feedback for the user
- removing SPAN representing Tab we want closed
- maybe fixing widths of remaining SPANs

What actually happens is a horror show normally reserved for second semester CS students trying OOP for the first time. List of all Tabs gets traversed multiple times, most of them rewritten couple of times, everything generating individual DOM changes.

10 Tabs open and you close the first one = ~30 DOM Reflows.

100 Tabs open and you close two in the middle = ~300 DOM Reflows.

100 Tabs open and you close first 10 = ~3000 DOM Reflows.

Stuttering UI is the staple of Vivaldi, codebase is full of functions running in linear/polynomial time to the number of Tabs open/Tab position on the list, in places where O(1) is trivial. Vivaldi is a browser that used to Resize contents of every single Tab opened when you resized its window - resizing was slower the more Tabs you had in Tab bar :o, going fullscreen could take 10 seconds.
I've been reading this blog since its early days. It really lives up to the URL.
1. Somebody loads fakebank.com.

2. It pops up a username/password screen. The user types in their credentials for realbank.com.

3a. The owners of fakebank.com use your creds to log in to realbank.com and are presented with a TOTP page.

3b. fakebank.com loads another page that asks the user for their TOTP. The user enters it, still thinking they are logging in to realbank.com

4. The owners of fakebank.com use the TOTP to authenticate as the user with realbank.com.

Entire SDKs to automate this are sold on the black market.
I was married for 16 years to a loving mother and wife. We had 2 children together who are now 11 & 13. I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college on Facebook and we began an affair and I left my wife. The woman I had an affair with is a wonderful woman and I love her too and our kids had begun accepting the situation and my wife has kind of moved on, but not in love with the man she is seeing. I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I decided to try and get her back and I was recommended to Lord Zakuza for help to get reunited with my wife and within 48 hours after I made contact with Lord Zakuza my wife decided to work things out with me and now we are back together with our children living as one happy family. I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what Lord Zakuza did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can browse through his website via: https: lordzakuzaspells.com or WhatsApp Lord Zakuza for help or text with this number +1 740 573 9483 or you can send him an email to Lordzakuza7 @gmail. com
Burning bridges is fine. Being scared of burning bridges reduces personal agency.

>30% of Gen Z has a favorable view of Marxism, up 6% from 2019, compared to 27% of Millennials, down 9% from 2019.

Sounds like it's easy to support marxism when your earnings are low (gen z), but as your earnings go up (Millennials) you're increasingly less in favor of it.

>Americans increasingly distrust the government to take care of their interests, with 87% saying they trust themselves over the government and their community (a 7% increase from 2019). This is especially the case in younger generations, with only 6% of Gen Z and 5% of Millennials trusting the government to take care of their interests, down 8% and 11% from 2019, respectively.

>12% of Gen Z and 10% of Millennials think society would be better off if all private property was abolished and held by the government.

So 12% of gen z and 10% of millennials want to abolish all private property (ie. handing it over to the government), but only 6% and 5% trust the government? Seems to be a contradiction there.

That's because of Franco's timezone shift: we were shifted to GMT+1 because the fascist dictator loved Germany. Odd because the Greenwich meridian crosses half of Spain in Aragon.
One of my "out there" political ideas is that because land is a zero-sum game, corporate entities should not be allowed to own it. Only real people (or specific entities which are a collection of real people) who are permanent residents of the country in question should be allowed to own land. And from there, there should be an upper limit on how much any one individual is allowed to own.
Also, the low supply of new houses already created a market for them to control. If there’s already a bottleneck, then half your job is already done. Buy everything up, and continue buying new ones at a decent rate to maintain the bottleneck. A veritable housing OPEC controlling the outflow and production of homes. Sinister stuff.

Congress absolutely needs to do something about this.
But i would expect that the cost of these medicines are quite a bit lower. After all water is pretty cheap. Most of them are just placebo's, but then again placebo's really do work.
Vivaldi is exactly as slow or fast as any Chromium-based browser. A this point I've surrendered to the notion of the web never getting faster, but just eating away any efficiency gains in computing.

I like Vivaldi for the feature set. It's rich enough for the regular power-user, but the presentation is straightforward enough that you don't feel like you need to pimp your browser like you would Emacs. I felt home with Opera, and I feel home with Vivaldi now.

Yes.

This just happened to me. I put my home up for market %15 over market - was offered cash that same day by an investor. I didn't use an Agent to list (this is my 3rd home sell) and set my own buyer agent compensation on the MLS. Anyhow, they seem like pros.
Something else to be skeptical of: skepticism.

A good amount of skepticism is great. Questioning everything is belligerent and actually close-minded rather than open.
Do you cast aspersions like this on people who think the 2016 election was stolen? They tend to be a lot more respected, but they’re just as incorrect.
It's really superficial, for example it mentions arbitrary descisions from part of the supreme judges, but completely gloss over the fact that they were members of political parties and we're seen at rallies all over the country, they delayed clear cases of corruption from previous governments and that's more than enough reason to get them out according to the constitution.

But Labours rules prevents him from being leader without being an MP.

Labour could change that, but if they were to be changed, it would not be for Sadiq Khan. Maybe for Andy Burnham. Khan doesn't have enough support among Labour members. Realistically it won't be changed for either, as it would cause too many difficulties.

I clicked it. Looks like he's a Republican and a Christian (and has pretty standard opinions for that intersection) who likes to write long political essays. Are you sure he's a nut job, or could you possibly just be a bigot?
You lost me at the end. You lack political acumen if you think this is how politics works: " If there's a credible threat to build plenty of housing, they'll move on."

The Yimbies supported Mayor Breed. She hasn't changed the political problems in SF that you're (for the most part, accurately) diagnosing here.

The problem with most anti-activist government screeds like this is that they lack the same nuance and sophistication they would bring to, for example, commenting on a market analysis. I'm almost certain your position here is "end zoning." I'm fine with that. But it takes way more than shit posting, and the people who believe what you do are literally at the top of the city's government in San Francisco, and nothing has changed.

You need a better understanding of politics and a sharper theory of change. Just applying your own premise to this comment, investors are actually relying on people like YOU failing to learn more about politics and failing to understand how to better communicate about politics. YOU are part of the problem, not above it.
I’ve ranted about this before but CA Prop 13 not only makes housing a good investment, but one that you’re extremely incentivized to hold onto forever and never move. Two people can be living in houses next to each other valued around 1.5m, and one of them will be paying 1/10th the tax. If anyone wants to buy a house, they have to first be able to afford the property, so the barriers to entry are so much higher for those who didn’t have the foresight to purchase a home 40 years ago.

It’s not even residential that’s the most disturbing though. One of the biggest beneficiaries of this tax break is Disney: https://www.ocregister.com/2010/06/03/disneyland-businesses-...
Note that it's probably a very crude implementation of tail-calls - it's the first attempt I've ever made - but I can at least verify that it accomplishes the goal of being able to recurse an arbitrary number of times without blowing the stack
If it's marketed as a revenue neutral tax, where all the savings are passed on to middle-income earners through income-tax cuts, you might have some success.
Is HN any different with its points?
Yes I agree, I meant residency requirement, requiring that people live in a country for at least 6 months before buying a house, which could be done on a work or student visa.
It went off the rails at the beginning. After the WSJ article about how pension fund managers are buying homes as investment vehicles, he immediately veered into fantasyland citing only blogs or his imagination. The Great Reset has a homepage and it has nothing to do with anything he's ranting about.

Love CAVE and BANANA acronyms! Very good summary of world in 2021 (sadly).
> It would push us a lot closer to a world where people don't own anything anymore besides their own houses (maybe not even that) and the government owns everything.

I'm really struggling to understand this point of view, given the article that you couldn't be bothered to read says the US government owns 15% of all real estate already.

In my country, the reason that a lot of people own their houses is because the government sold its housing stock to residents in the 1980s and 1990s. That created a majority of homeowners, for the first time.

The fact that the government didn't replace this housing stock has been the cause of a massive generational rift, with a reduction in owner-occupancy from that peak, down to the point that a plurality of people (the vast majority of people under 45 - almost all young families) are now private renters in insecure housing situations.

While that same housing stock - originally built by the people, for the people - is increasingly dominated by exploitative for-profit landlords.
Sadiq Khan wouldn't even make most Labour members top 5. If you're going to look at mayors, Burnham is far more popular among Labour members.

(but of course same issue: would need to become an MP again first)
Conflict with whom is the question.

The US Constitution is younger than the Russian claims on Crimea and we're going to try and tell them about it? In between sponsoring coups in Latin America and the Middle East whenever we feel it's in our interest?
The government wouldn't be able to attack the network if they wanted to and I guarantee they've already tried.
I see that the report doesn't for opinions about 'authoritarianism'.

It's an piece from the publisher of the Washington Post directly saying that the Biden DOJ only backed down in the face of reporting on their conduct.

There is a host of terms used in that thread that point to the person as a conspiracy theorist. "The Cabal", "The Great Reset". These are terms used in the Qanon community constantly.

It has to do with the person lacking credibility based on their own statements than them holding an opposing viewpoint.
> The US has pretty good Social Mobility as well, it is complete myth that the "rich" in the US is stagnate, most of the Billionaires in the US are 1st Generation Billionaires, this highlights there are income and social mobility.

Most economists of inequality dispute this. As measured by the likelihood that you'll earn more than your parents [1], or that you'll move up the income or wealth distribution compared to where you were born [2], the United States lags significantly behind most other developed nations. Social mobility in the United States is also lower than it has almost ever been.

That is the biggest engineering challenge for these products. Having timely, effective, accurate SOUP anomaly reviews are critical to ensure that you have patches for issues in the wild, so you don't end up in a situation where you are running vulnerable software for years and years.

This is also why you see a lot of RHEL and SLES in healthcare - commitments for EOL and support timelines are key, and drive a lot of planning for device makers.
> The old spark returned! It was fun again! I breezed through a chapter on transcription, and had no trouble banging through the homework immediately afterward. Not only did I understand it better as I went, I was having more fun.

Unfortunately, fun and ease is not synonymous with effective use of learning time. Novelty can be a good motivator for initial learning, but without spaced repetition retention is lower. People love the feeling of mastery, so doing the reading and homework in quick succession is a great form of dopamine. IMO you can either bite the bullet and recognize most of what you read will be forgotten in a year, or recognize that most of learning is boring.

When I ran through a stats textbook last summer, the authors clearly had spaced repetition in mind. Each chapter was divided into subsections with small problem sets as you read, and an end-of chapter question bank covering chapter contents (and then a cliff-notes chapter summary at the end). Each of the three major sections included a comprehensive question bank that are basically an exam. End result is that with a pace of about 10 pages per day, you'd do some reading and some problem solving, but every few days you'd need to reach back in your head to cover pages you read a few days ago. The end of chapter homeworks were often much slower going than the question sets sprinkled in, and the exams were equally rough.

To supplement that, every weekend I'd go through chapters completed that week and add some Anki cards. I don't necessarily need to know how to rapidly calculate correlation, as much as feel confident I can re-learn it later if I need to because I did so once already.
That seems unlikely. Here’s one high-profile example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-trum...
There's no objective measure for one to define what is a "good amount" of skepticism. The trap of using this as an excuse to shield yourself from people who have a higher level of conspiratorial or counter-consensus thinking than you prefer or have yourself is one worth trying to be mindful of. Claiming there are people who "question everything" is a yellow flag, imo, because that literally doesn't exist, though I know you were speaking hyperbolically. But having the capacity to bucket people into a group who "questions everything" despite the reality such a person literally cannot exist, may mean you are over-weighting this mental model.
The credibility of this source is pretty questionable. Victims of Communism is little more than a right wing think tank with strong ties to the Heritage Foundation. To me, much of this report reads as tired McCarthyist propaganda. The quote at the end in particular is revealing insofar as it shows the clear conservative ideological bent of VoC.

Some of their statistics are also pretty strange:

>
Over one-third of Americans (39%) are likely to support a member of the Democratic Socialist party for office with greater support among younger generations (51% of Gen Z and 44% of Millennials). 16% of Gen Z and Millennials are likely to support a member of the Communist party for office.

What "Democratic Socialist party" are they talking about? I don't think I've ever seen an American politician run affiliated with such a party if it even exists.

> Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans say they are unaware that the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for more deaths than Nazi Germany.

Neglects to mention that those killed by the CCP were not killed on the basis of race, ethnicity or religious belief, but because they were landlords. I think most reasonable people would want to distinguish between that — as awful as it is — and the genocide committed by Nazi Germany.

> Over half of Gen Z (51%) think that America is a racist nation with a long history of discrimination.

Whether this is true or not, what does this have to do with communism?
They seem to conflate communism with authoritarianism, eg.

>Seventy-nine percent of Americans accurately say China is a communist, rather than a democratic, country.
The crazy thing is that no grand conspiracy is required, this is just a function (and an entirely predictable one) of the ever increasing levels of wealth inequality that we see. No political "pincher" movement required, it's just people with money finding ways to use that money to make more money.

These are literally two out of the first four paragraphs I read when clicking on that link:

>Dearest Friends & Fellow Americans,

The eminent trial of our Age is upon us. Those whose courage fails them now, who shrink from the fight, and sit idly while the very foundations of our nation collapse should sit in shame; but those that stand boldly by the Constitution deserve the eternal thanks of all mankind. Malignant tyranny, like other pogroms of the past, are no simple feat to overcome; Yet we know also through the trials of history that the greater the force of evil, the more august the achievement.

> The Malignant States, the Federal Government, and the Tech Politburo have avowed to create and enforce a progressive establishment that places Marxist Race Doctrine, Anti-American Sentiment, and Western-averse Cultural and Governmental Practices at the forefront of legal and social policy and have declared that they will fully enchain the American populace to this destructive course.

Edit: I hope that nobody thinks that's still "Christian and Republican", right? Even if you're extremely critical of current developments it's certainly crazy to call those a "pogrom".
Not to be a dick, but it's "losing", not "loosing". This is the most incorrectly spelt word on the Internet and it makes me irrationally irate. If English is not your native language then I apologise for my pedantic outburst.
And here I thought the paranoia surrounding urban real estate prices over the past decade was bad (Remember the countless pieces about foreign investment dollars, induced demand causing gentrification, empty condo buildings, et cetera?)

Now urban money has started spilling out of major urban centers during covid, and demand for space has had a major uptick no less, so the rest of the country is experiencing a fraction of the insane price growth that major cities have seen for two straight decades.

Yeah, it sucks. No, your "evil investment money" thesis is still wrong, or at best misleading. It's essentially supply and demand (added with some inflation and supply shocks), you can either hope demand goes down or your city can plan to add more supply. Those have only ever been the two options.

I'd say the tax advantages have a lot to do with it to.

A portfolio of several thousand Prop 13 jackpots is a pretty good situation to be in.
Maybe? They are a luxury for the upper middle class, and you could easily rent one the same way you rent an airbnb. Those holiday homes do need to belong to someone though, so I suppose it makes no sense to outright ban own multiple homes, but we could structure it so that resale is more highly taxed, particularly resale after a short time (i.e. people "flipping" properties).
Well I don't think that would optimize for weird but good prose. Maybe you could train it on Cormac McCarthy or Thomas Pynchon or something like that
