It is misunderstood and intended only as an easy way to add UI to your app. Trouble is, people started using it for everything.

It is too opinionated and still uses a general :focus { outline: 0} which is a big no-no. Development of real products invariably turns into overriding its CSS.

The carousel for example is outdated and limited so here's an alternative (shameless plug) – https://nativecarousel.com
I'm sorry, how is this seen as anything other than critical vulnerability in Windows?
Pretty much everything these down-to-earth people are saying is true. If you accept the government's cunningly-constructed arguments, then there's no injection you could ever refuse -- they'll just say that failure to accept the injection is putting people's lives at risk, and that's supposed to trump all other considerations.

Meanwhile, this report is deeply deceptive. They show us sick people to frighten us. But the NYT is either malicious or incompetent not to mention that effective treatments are available, such as the MATH+ protocol developed by Dr. Varon et al. Varon apparently attributes his much higher than average success rate at least partially to the use of ivermectin, information that the NYT and many other media outlets have helped keep buried.

They say that the patient they interviewed died. It's supposed to be a chilling finale, an exclamation point that proves their point. But I can easily go find ten examples of young healthy people being promptly killed by the vaccine, i.e., going from excellent health to having heart attacks or strokes at the age of 25 or whatever. Anyone who doubts that this is possible should check the off-the-charts VAERS reports for the vaccines, which dwarf all the reports from the past few decades combined. Again, not mentioned by the NYT.

At the NYT and other propaganda outlets, the conclusions come first, and then half-hearted "investigation" is done to support those conclusions.
> that supports a business losing 500 million dollars a year for 10 years.

That assumes that those startups get investment from outside YC , which is not what i m talking about.
Also, the EU just approved a giant stimulus package which will be used to support a lot of failing companies, just take a look at the air carrier subsidies around the continent.

It's true that US is subsidizing unsustainable businesses, probably in the hopes that something good will come out of them regardless. But that doesnt change the fact europe is repelling entrepreneurs.
What can people even do with that info though? You can’t compare universities as each course is different. So I guess you can compare two people at the same university? Not very useful is it.
Mail for the embassies afaik. and because it is a lot of pretty important mail, they deem it safer to personally exchange it.
I wondered what was doing it!!!! Thank you for explaining.

I don’t use iCloud and always turn the sync off but once in a while I see the toggles on again it’s so frustrating.

I also help some elderly with their iPhones and had setup iTunes backup to their iMacs, but every time I go to fix something the toggles are all on again. For one of them, they somehow enabled purchasing extra iCloud space so now they pay when they didn’t need to, and I don’t have the time to go through and figure out how to turn it off while also ensuring they keep all their photos.

If a user chooses to configure something in a certain way the vendor should not change that. Is it so hard to comprehend?
In my experience the UK has a very simple and friendly system and, I believe, London has grown into an European centre for startups and funding. France makes things overly-complicated and costly for the sake of it, not just for entrepreneurs but for everyone, this is very puzzling (and I was born there!).
Let me write some API in front of an APIs which abstracts the api that will use more APIs.

You got yourself a microservice architecture.
> It also excluded a large part of the world from participating on IRC. Maybe if it was more proactive, IRC would have a larger role to play than it does now?

I have to clarify that this was based on my experience in Finnish IRC channels. We spoke Finnish (and some English because English is everywhere) and we did not wish to bring any other languages into our channels as we wouldn't be able to speak Finnish then anymore. The character set issues were really just about our own special characters and ISO-8859-1 vs ISO-8859-15 vs UTF-8 users.

Obviously character set issues probably did discourage some people from using IRC but I doubt it had anything to do with Finnish channels specifically. In the end, I think IRC was just overtaken by more convenient and featureful technologies (not to say that IRC is dead, but it's far from what it used to be).

Punycode is another one of those unfortunate things we have to have to deal with due to things like homograph attacks (apple.com vs аpple.com).
There is some though; there are little to no restrictions for one country to use a service in another european country, or traveling to visit it. No currency conversion needed either.

Depends what you are looking for. If you are in your 20s / 30s you might want to have higher salary and less social safety. Later in your life this changes. Many Europeans (including myself) went to work in California for higher wages and less taxation. Some of us wanted to have family and moved back. Quality of life is subjective above a certain threshold.
I get paid middle of month, which is a nice compromise from the "work delivered" vs "paying up front" perspective.

Given that I have a rather fixed income, I don't see why I'd need any higher frequency than that. It wouldn't change anything.

If I had a highly variable income I could see weekly making sense, though it would be a bit of a mess in months with a lot of red days.

The difference isn't having a huge market with a more-or-less homogeneous culture on consumption and language, it is that Europe is a safe and secured society, completely different than fucking California.

Not sure what is your point here, you brush off a lot of the real nuances of the problem to throw an overgeneralising jab onto 27 different cultures...
Italian alphabet is very simple. Only add some accented letters to the base english alphabet (àèéìòù and uppercase variants). Still today I see a lot of Latin 1 / UTF-8 mixed errors. That's the reason why is very common to see "E'" in official documents instead of "È" and so on.
You're welcome. I am not sure but I agree, we need as much free information as possible. Libgen and scihub are invaluable! I don't know if libraries fund authors but that would certainly be a cool model to have.
> with so many strings

I have found the strings to be bureaucratic, not material, which has turned many small european businesses to paperwork factories.
Pharo, not quite Smalltalk, possibly worse than VisualWorks
While I agree that it's a good innovation, it's fighting the symptoms of low wages and high cost; people living paycheck to paycheck. Wages should go up and cost of living should go down; people should be entitled to having financial reserves, to not be afraid of not making it to payday.
> This end solution isn’t amazing, but it works. We’d of course far prefer if Go itself had a built-in equivalent.

Totally agree.

For a package like SciPipe, which we have managed to develop with zero dependencies, to maximize future reproducibility of scientific pipelines, it would very much hurt to bring in the first external (Go-) dependency, while at the same time, we really really would be much helped by stack traces.
There was never a major mRNA vaccine roll out ever. mRNA possibly does not compare to traditional vaccines, there's evidence it is a different beast entirely.

Enough reason to be cautious, wait out the hidden/late-onset side effect, and not give it to those not too vulnerable to covid.

But authorities claim it's totally safe for all ages, while they have no data to back this up (that'd need a long trial, and those taking it ARE the long trial).

How many errors are you creating that you would start caring about overhead? And why do you think code is more readable if it's littered with guesses on what may be important to track down a problem, rather then the simple call stack?

Expensive but worth it. Brompton designs are far better than the alternatives. They hold their value pretty well too, if it turns out you don't like it.
You have a car from the '70s? And this is not when there are more modern cars next to it that make it feel more cramped because they are bigger?
I don't think this is a fair equivalence... But nonetheless I'm grateful you linked that! That's fascinating to read in hindsight.
Yes, though there's also a couple other examples. In my experience the biggest barrier to europeans getting fairly compensated is just that people believe it's impossible and so don't seek out the industries that do.
If they want to do business in the US, they often do; the US market is very protective and isolationist like that, for some reason. An EU company doing business with an US based company is a lot easier.
> How do companies still think it's acceptable to ignore responsible disclosure in the hopes the problem just goes away?

its not responsible to disclose in secret and hope the company doesn't ignore you or curb stomp you to oblivion

its not responsible to push for a little pat on the back and maybe an undervalued $ compensation

proverbially nuke them from orbit, responsible is not a factor here

No support for Chrome extensions. Not even support for Safari Web Extensions bundled with iOS apps.

Some browsers do have their own extensions (Edge has AdBlock Plus built-in, but that's all; iCab has quite a few Javascript-based extensions) and of course you get things like using another vendor's bookmark and password sync. But that's about it.
This has good usability and style, but is dependent on frameworks?
I'm wondering if this actually implies that Y-Combinator is willing to touch even with a 10-foot-pole companies incorporated in jurisdictions where company law works very differently from the U.S. For example in Germany & Austria, if a startup is organized as a GmbH ("Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung"), regulations around transfer of shares and minority shareholder protections are a lot heavier than for U.S. corporations and AG ("Aktiengesellschaft") with freely-transferable shares come with a high regulatory burden in all kinds of areas.

My working hypothesis until obtaining information to the contrary is that the answer is "no", and that "European" in the article basically just means "London".
This was the first time I really read BrandonM response (very polite). So thanks for posting it.
There’s plenty of things you need to sign in to do other than sync.

That pilot is lucky the police didn't try to arrest him for damaging their drone. US cops would have. But he should sue them personally for reckless endangerment, and for repairs for the damage to his aircraft.

Suing their department would do no good, beyond maybe getting his repairs paid for.
In my experience (Belgian guy that dabbled a bit with EU VCs for my SaaS) Europe is very risk-adverse, and you either have to give up ridiculous amounts of equity for a little amount (i.e. 50k€ for a 25% to +50% stake) when not established yet, or have a recurring revenue of at least 50k€/month to get reasonable propositions.

Also, European culture is slightly different: most people consider a startup failure as something bad that you drag along for the rest of your career.

I've talked to some European VCs, and while they have big ambitions and are starting to gain momentum, it might take a while before the shift in the European mentality happens, and we end up with a thriving ecosystem.
Some hubs (Switzerland and Berlin for example) seem to be doing quite good.

I also assume a big difference with the US is the fragmented market: different languages, cultural differences, legislative constraints, market demands, ...
For example, in my experience high touch B2B sales are highly impacted by the language gap, in fact some countries (France, Spain, Italy, ...) are notoriously against working with people who don't speak their mother tongue. (On the bright side most of us Belgians do speak at least 3 languages, so it is still somewhat doable.)

As an alternative to VCs in Europe, you could look at some of the national and European subsidized tracks, although they tend to be mostly coupled to the trend-of-the-decade (sustainability is hot right now), and also require quite some effort to enter with no guarantees of success. (Disclaimer: it's on my to-do list, so no real experience with this.)

I would presume the combination of all of these factors results in people looking on other continents for better opportunities.

(I personally think Africa might offer huge opportunities in the coming decades, but that's for another time.)
People don't give proprioception enough credit until they end up losing it. Proprioception is the sense of where in the world our bodies are.

I hold the belief that proprioception is more than a sense, but rather, part of what makes us conscious as it requires a sense of 'I'. Toddlers are able to identify themselves in mirrors, and it is usually preceded by movements, and identifying that "the mirrored human performs the same movements as I do", which requires some form of proprioception.

Oliver Sacks talks a lot about other senses beyond those covered in school. I can recommend "The man who mistook his wife for a hat", "Hallucinations", and "Awakenings".
There are type annotations. The syntax is `(expression : type_expression)`.
As a basement-dweller myself, I also got a few ticks from my cat. He collects them in his fur, comes inside to feed, sleep and cuddle, and sometimes a tick decides that I'm yummier than the cat.

Dog-owners do report the same problem, at least if the animal is allowed close contact with humans for more than a few seconds apiece.
Yes, and emoji came from emoticons, meeting a need to express more complex ideas. Unicode adopted emoji after they were popularised.

The manual.

I see what you’re saying, Gmail is painful to use for this exact reason. I’d argue it’s fine on cars though for a few reasons:

- there probably aren’t that many icons to be aware of in a car

- cars are generally owned for a long time, so learning 2 new icons every 5-10 years is not much to ask

- cost-cutting on I18n: the snowflake could be AC in English but “airflugencoldensteiner” in some other language. It doesn’t scale and it can’t be sold across borders without looking out of place.

So it seems it's not that clear cut that you need it (and it can be self assessed). But yeah, if it's an electronic device that plugs into the wall or connects to WiFi probably yes - or at least the modules that do that)
I'm realling getting fed up by how predatory technology has gotten in the last 10 years.

You really have to continuously look your back and double-check anything.

And you have relatives, especially older ones, that want to buy and use all the new shiny things, and often don't understand that the tech we use today is not like the tech they used to buy 50 years ago.

50 years ago you bought a piece of technology, you paid it, you brought it into your house and it made your life easier, and that was it.

Nowadays you buy a piece of technology, it's going to spy you, the producer is going to alter its behavior via software updates, it's often going to refuse to work without a subscription and recurring payments, it's going to just stop working prematurely when the producer decides that you have to upgrade, and it's going to conviniently allow the government (or a foreign government) to take a look into your private life.

And it's so painful to see big tech companies wash this in shiny and colorful commercials.

Stallman had seen this before anyone else, he was right all along.

I don't really agree - the xkcd cartoon is about physicists naively going from real-world phenomena to mathematical models, without understanding what is important or already known about the problem domain.

In his case, a physicist is looking at a problem that already has a standard mathematical formalism in control theory, and is suggesting new theoretical approaches to apply to it that he claims provides additional insights.

And, whereas in the cartoon the physicist says, "why does <your field> need a whole journal, anyway", the author of this monograph publishes in existing control theory journals (e.g., [1] in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control).

Anecdotally, I had this kind of experience mostly from services in big countries. France, Germany, Italy.

Small countries' services (Slovakia, Bulgaria) need to serve many more customers abroad, so they tend to be more friendly towards foreign characters not found in their national alphabets.

I'd argue that a 'strict lockdown' is, in itself, rather draconian. Almost by definition, it requires heavy policing of an individual's life and almost total surveillance of their movements.

If by 'strict lockdown' you mean 'Ask people to limit their movements and preferably just stay at home' then maybe that's not quite so draconian.

It works well when there aren't too many pedestrians and they don't confuse the bike lane for a sidewalk too much.

On the other hand, if there are enough pedestrians, they will spill on the bike lane thinking it's a sidewalk. Or in some places, people really don't pay any attention and don't have a single care in the world, and will be totally oblivious to the fact that they are on a bike lane, even after ringing a very loud bike bell a few times right behind them.

My commute happens to have both of those configurations, and the second one is hell, to the point I'll rather ride on the bus lane (which is forbidden to cyclists) than risk a collision with a pedestrian.

Edit: I almost forgot, but since it tends to be between the road and the sidewalk, cars turning right will always check for pedestrians, but often fail to give way to cyclists, depending on how used they are to see cyclists coming. Some intersections have high change of T-bone because of that.
I haven't analysed ivermectin too closely, but a number of national health boards, including the USA, UK, and Brazil, have said that the evidence at this time is insufficient. I trust them more than I trust my ability to identify methodological flaws in medical studies, particularly when my judgement is clouded by wishful thinking. I must therefore politely disagree with you about the balance of probability.

However, you are correct that the second Trump touches anything, it seemingly becomes impossible to have a rational conversation about it. I can't see any reason for you to have been downvoted, for instance.

My Logitech MX ergo doesn’t need a lot of cleaning. Once in a while maybe. But it is designed in a way that the dirt comes out at the bottom by itself. There are also no wheels, it uses optical detection of movement, like an optical mouse.

Once in a while a hair or some dust gets stuck in front oft the sensor. Then you need to clean it. But this happens maybe twice a year for me.
How did the world's oldest hat shop survive pandemic lockdown?
> Yet data from Israel suggests that the vaccinated are six times more likely to get delta than people with natural immunity:

In Israel, as almost everywhere else (other than early in the pandemic with nursing homes in many places), implementation of and compliance with vaccination and other COVID countermeasures had been strongest among the elderly and immunocompromised; at the same time, COVID infection has been more likely to lead to death in the elderly. So, the population most likely to be infected if exposed has a higher baseline vaccination rate and a smaller rate of prior COVID infection, both due to countermeasures and inverse survivorship effects. Without controlling for that, which bare population numbers like this don’t do, you have no idea what the relative immunity effect of prior infection vs. vaccination is.
When I was in the first year of the university (1996), my friend programmed a utility for conversion between six different encodings used in the Czech language space: CP852, KeybCS2, CP1250, ISO8859-2, KOI-8čs a ASCII.
