Seems like a catch 22 for Facebook - if they don't remove the material they get criticized for facilitating hate speech, if they do remove they get criticized for censorship, acting arbitarily and not providing adequate reasons. I'm not sure what they're supposed to do in this situatuion.
But then the infringement is done by the person who publishes that output, not by the text editor that copies the code.

> You can still choose not to use them.

Not necessarily - if an app I am required to use for work chooses to use Chrome/whatever as its engine, for example, I don't have a choice there. Same for my bank / doctor / school / etc.
It had a monopoly, but you could use different browsers. I didn't have to throw away my PC and buy a Mac to install one of the better alternatives. And the market talked: Microsoft, your browser is obsolete, I'm going to use something else.

With Apple here, it's different. We have a similar set of question as in the days of yore (Is Google bringing much needed innovation to the web, or are they pushing their own proprietary features to control the web? Is Apple the last sane browser vendor preserving privacy and being user-first or are they purposefully holding back the web to maintain their App Store revenues?) but the ability of the market to answer is stunted by the fact the browser is tied to the hardware. If it happens I am not happy with Apple choice, I have to change my $1000 smartphone, my $400 smartwatch, ... just to use a different browser.
In the UK ALL immigrant groups are wealthier, have higher income, better educational outcomes, etc than the median white male.

It's only by lumping those at the very top of society with those at the bottom that this mythical privileges white male strawman exists.

All the anti white male rhetoric and policies does is harm those at the bottom and margins of society, poor white males, for the benefit of those in the middle and top, middle class and upwardly mobile immigrants.

That this is championed and accepted so openly is just naked class hatred from the international middle and upper class in my opinion.
Stop with this seatbelt analogy. At least until the government demands you start ingesting them.
Hm we live in structured societies in which laws are used to restrict individual liberties to protect collective ones. It's not that hard to grasp
> A big problem with CSS is that you end up making overrides no matter how composable you make the classes. And some simple things (e.g. responsiveness) are unintuitive and / or annoying to do in CSS.

10000% agree with this. I have found that copy/paste until you need to go back and change the same value a few times is worth its weight in salt with CSS. Never has "a poor abstraction is worse than duplicate code" been truer than in CSS.

What I found in my FE days ways that it wasn't until the project shipped and we were iterating on v2 did the actual reusable classes appear.
> Do you think Safari should be held up to the same standard other browsers are if they surpass it in security or privacy on any front?

Definitely.
Users can't make an informed choice about what browser engine they use. They don't understand what a browser engine is, and what impact it has on their security, battery performance and so on.

So no, you can't choose. When we say "you can choose" we need to realize that this is only good when you can make an educated, informed choice. If you can't, you need to be protected. And that's Apple's role.

Random choice is not a choice. Would you have your infant "choose" what drugs to take for headache for example? What criteria will they use? Pill shape, color, size and flavor. Well that's basically also our proverbial mom and pop picking a browser engine.

Furthermore browser engines have this peculiar habit of getting into everything. Open any app at all and it's probably using WebKit without you realizing it. What if the app uses some random outdated fork of Netscape, why not? Do you realize what "choice" you made by opening that app?

No.
Is that right? So how come they’re charging a fortune for the course in London??!!
Piano is the best analogy to me.

If you sit down at a piano for the first time, the idea of ever playing a Chopin prelude seems almost impossible.

Of course it takes years of practice to gain competency, just like everything else in life.

This seems like a cultural flaw we have almost. We love to pretend people have all this effortless talent that they never had to work towards instead of putting value on the effort that got them to their level of mastery.
why not?

An analyst somewhere who isn't aware that people are literally playing with the test buckets and jumping between them to figure out what the query parameters do is going to write a confident report on why A outperformed B.
It's not poisoned. It just doesn't have features that you want. The analogy would be that you don't like the style of the wine.

They're arguing 'I bought a product which doesn't offer feature X and I'm mad that it turns out it can't do X'. Use your common sense. Buy a product that explicitly does have X if you want X.

This is almost my setup for years, except using a laptop with a hi-res 17" screen rested on my knees.

I can sit in this position for hours on end without getting uncomfortable.

I've tried out every office chair including the Aeron, they don't compare in any way. If I was forced to work from a chair, I'd get a $100 adjustable deck chair.

I also found multiple monitors are very tiring on your head/eyes which need to be constantly moving between them which takes time and energy. Alt-tabbing is much quicker and as a bonus you're not gimped when forced to work from a single monitor/laptop while outside.

It's a good opportunity to test whether it's too tight, too.

Scottish Cafe
Just saw this thread of a couple of months ago, so my apologies for returning to it so late. As it happens, my grandfather, Thomas Zielinski, owned the Scottish Cafe (Brettschneider was the manager). I recently wrote a couple of papers that answer many of the questions raised in the discussion - the full text of the English "Mathematicians at the Scottish Cafe" is here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335742570_Mathematicians_at_the_Scottish_Cafe). I am currently embarking on a play loosely around this topic.

> That might be a nice ideal, but just not true in practice or history.

That's how it is in practice. Everyone's equal under the law. Specifically on these issues, all groups are equal (meaning all races, ethnicities, etc.)

In Germany, and European countries in general, targeting groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc. is illegal. It does not matter whether a group is a "minority group", whatever that means (quite sensibly so, of course).

For example, I believe that this German law is generally applicable:

"Whosoever, in a manner capable of disturbing the public peace:

1. incites hatred against a national, racial, religious group or a group defined by their ethnic origins, against segments of the population or individuals because of their belonging to one of the aforementioned groups or segments of the population or calls for violent or arbitrary measures against them; or

2. assaults the human dignity of others by insulting, maliciously maligning an aforementioned group, segments of the population or individuals because of their belonging to one of the aforementioned groups or segments of the population, or defaming segments of the population,

shall be liable to imprisonment from three months to five years." [1]

> > hate speech, which is banned under German law if it threatens the peace or incites violence against minority groups.

Based on the above, I think that the article has it wrong.

You... don't? Spend 20 hours learning, that is

I never sat down for hours to learn it. I just started using it. Most of the classes were very intuitive with a working knowledge of the box model. For anything else I just searched the docs or even better, got the VSCode plugin to suggest the correct one

It's not a custom interface. It's just classes. It's got a type of syntax, sure, especially for media queries but it's not much different than "learning" the classes from bootstrap

It's literally just CSS but abstracted as convenient classes as the name "utility classes" implies already. I don't understand why people keep telling others to learn CSS instead. I also hate dealing and writing CSS cause it's cumbersome and unwieldy and this is a much better way of styling my HTML and getting immediate feedback
Not necessarily.

I work for a bank. Applying your analysis, one could argue that banks offer zero intrinsic value. After all, all they allow you to do is to move money around back and forth between different people.

But, as it turns out, moving money back and forth between different people is a very valuable service. Let me be clear: there are many activities practiced by banks that add very little value to the world. For example, one could argue that high frequency trading (beyond the point needed to provide market liquidity) adds very little value.

But banks allow people to exchange goods and services without having to barter. Banks allow people to store wealth and transport wealth and exchange both with other people without having to move around carts laden with gold and higher huge numbers of guards to keep it safe. Banks help to match together people who have capital ("investors", "savers") with people who could accomplish things if only they had capital ("borrowers","entrepreneurs") and facilitates them working together through interest payments.

Just as banks are far from useless (although some of the things they do add little value to humanity), so cryptocurrencies *MAY* be far from useless (although I agree the majority of people involved at this point are doing little more than engaging in a broad Ponzi scheme).
Wasn’t it the same issue with telecoms ?

Not at all. It might actually cause you to burnout if you begin to feel your work has encroached on your personal life. I went through a rough phase a while back because of this.
Doubling-down on the downvotes:

When the checkout queue is moving slowly, some people try to move the queue forward by moving closer tho the person in front, even though the queue hasn't moved. I've noticed that people who do this are always maskless.

My local store is near a homeless shelter; homeless people face much greater threats than what amounts to a nasty respiratory virus. But I like social distancing; it tends to improve my sense of having personal space, as well as making me feel safer.
> General relativity was a way to solve anomalies in the orbit of Mercury, something only detectable with precise measurement. Without it, general relativity would make no sense: why use all these complex formulas when Newton gravity works just as well? Send Einstein's work to the 16th century and it will be slashed by Occam's razor.

I don't think that's entirely true. As far as I know, the Mercury precession anomaly wasn't considered a serious problem to Newton's theory at the time.

Einstein was motivated by theoretical problems that arose from trying to reconcile Newton's theory with special relativity, which inspired him to take the principle of equivalence seriously: the notion that gravitational mass and inertial mass are fundamentally the same. This is what lead to the famous field equations. Their derivation is not some sort of reverse engineering of the Mercury precession anomaly. Someone wrote a few words about it here [1].

The fact that GR could explain the Mercury anomaly was a bonus. The break through, however, came with the first measurement of light being deflected by the sun during a solar eclipse.

Einstein's GR truly came out of nowhere.

So to recap:

- you give someone shit for their nickname they adopted as an 18-19 year old kid

- you boast about how much of a hard working kid you were (no mention of the less pleasant things I'm pretty sure you did)

- your best idea of a comeback to all this was to randomly dig up an abandoned side project of mine from like seven years ago and threaten me not to support it.

Take a moment to reevaluate all that.
This is probably one of the saltiest comments I've read here
Those guarantees are currently provided by Apple and you seem to trust them. What would stop you from chosing alternative browsers from other companies you trust to provide the same guarantees ?
The concern is, what actions result from the attention to the problem?

If the action is "start a 7-year process to research solutions to solve them" -- great!

If the action is "block lithium mining" then that environmental policy will be as effective as San Francisco housing policy.
Interest rates have steadily fallen for about 40 years. So the 2x income idea is badly outdated as it assume interest rates around 15%.

When you consider inflation and interest rate decreases, owning a home today is essentially the same as it was 40 years ago in most markets. There are some outliers but overall the inflation adjusted monthly payment isn’t that different. It’s just that a bigger part of that payment is going to principal rather than interest.

The biggest issue is the outdated idea of putting 20% down. As interest rates fall, down payment percentages should fall. And although you can put less down you end up paying PMI which should be adjusted down too.

"Come on. Respond to it, I dare you. Tell me there's no "clear and compelling benefit" to keeping those vehicles off the road in cases where there was no good reason for them to be on it in the first place."

See, you are making the assumption that there are not any good reasons. This premise is false and brings us back to your subjective comment about reasonable and practical vehicles. You even stated that large truck serve a purpose, but you somehow do not see any purpose for pickups. You have not stated a clear and compelling reason to ban these vehicles. What is the other number that 2.5x is modifying? I'm guessing it's quite low.

> The "better tools" at most helped verify it after it was expressed, not reach it.

While they do so, they validate the said scientific breakthroughs. Science is not only about coming up with models or hypotheses. Science is "theory and validation." Take out either of them, and you don't have science.

Humans have been theorizing and creating mental models for thousands of years. But only with the better tools were they able to select verified models, and discard those that didn't fit the observation, and as a consequence, make more and more sophisticated and accurate predictions.

To take two recent examples, the first photograph of the black hole and the first detection of gravitational waves (both predicted by Einstein's GR, coincidentally) required a stupendous amount of collective brainpower of brilliant engineers and scientists. 100% of that brainpower went into figuring out building those better tools and analyzing the collected data. The scientific community itself has acknowledged the criticality of those better tools, 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for building a "better tool" to observe gravitational waves, LIGO [1].

This is not to say that theory isn't important but to call out that observational tools are not "at most help verify theory" but are an integral part of science.

There is, of course, a way to validate theory within its own framework and that is what mathematicians do. I guess the philosophy is a similar domain, but I have not read much about it, so I can't comment much.

On a related note, I highly recommend this panel discussion about the topic of GW, LIGO etc., from the horses' mouth. LIGO is absolutely mind-blowing, a testimony to collective human ingenuity [2].

It sounds like safari is "destroying the web" because some devs would like features that would annoy users, or turn their websites into apps.

AV1 support would be nice though. Everyone should push for that.
So in a nutshell, the author's argument is that Safari is "killing the web" because apps written specifically for Chrome, may not run on Safari.

I find it cringeworthy to even have to explain the problem here. "The web" is not an app written for one browser. By the same logic, Firefox is also "killing the web" because it can't run Chrome-only apps.

The web is all mainstream browsers, and the web standards. Do you want to know what's really killing the web? Google subverting the standards process and unilaterally adding all kinds of random "standards" (like connecting to USB and Bluetooth devices, for some reason) as part of the web, then guilting other browsers into not following along.

Instead of critiquing Google for acting as if they singlehandedly own the web, web developers are parroting their line and enabling them.

Fucking embarrassing.
> To make a purchase on the web, I have to type in a 16 digit credit card number, 3 digit CRC number, expiry date, name and address. Every single time. After 30 years of the web, nobody has figured out a way to make this securer or simpler. Well, no, I'm sure many have figured out a way, but nobody has implemented it.

Is that really true? There are payment processors that fulfill the role Apple does when you pay on their device and, just like, Apple, make profit from those transactions.

Paypal may not be as dominant in the grand scheme of things (anymore?) making the market of transaction processing somewhat fragmented but you still don't need to enter credit card details every single time you buy from a new vendor. I certainly don't.

Since 2000, the proportion of Oxbridge entrants who attended state schools has been consistently over 50% and is steadily approaching two thirds.
