It's certainly theoretically possible, but I think perhaps the least plausible of motivations to post here. The karma value of being upvoted and visible has to be weighed against the risk of being unmasked, derided and proved to be counter-factual.

If you look at ivermectin, it wasn't successfully pumped here. There were some honest, if remarkably silly proponents and they got pretty solidly whacked for optimistic ascientific thinking.

(Yea, that's a one sided take, but it goes to the general sense you can't just float ideas here and get lauded all the time)

As a non american I sometimes feel there is a strong Ayn Randian libertarianist rump writing here and I suspect it's people seduced by the bubble, with high net worth justifying their privilege. There is also a fair bit of anticommunist fervour, most notably anti CCP. Given who would use this channel for disinformation, I think you can argue it's not libertarians, or the CCP. So who does that leave? Disinformation typically advantages somebody. If it's not these people then qui bono? The CCP? Russia? I can't see it. They have better channels to dis-inform in.

I don't think HN is particularly pro Trump, or pro Theil or pro Cryptocurrency. Or pro Biden. It is often anti. That makes it seem unlikely it's being used to push stocks.

Basically, noting the other comment that politics is usually frowned on (my bias is showing above btw)

I can't see where the dis Informed people are securing a benefit beyond humour and if this is just an illuminated fnord view of the world, then at worst it's harmless.
You are right. There is no technical reason it should be as slow as it is. It's just that not enough resource was spent to make it fast. I mean, if this were a higher priority, Rust issue #26600 would have been fixed years ago.

Yeah it seems finding a balance between new stuff and old is a good approach. That’s a good point about languages being inspired and adopting features from others. I have personally noticed in my limited experience that learning new languages/frameworks have broadened my perspective as a developer. For example, through JavaScript I found about .map(), .forEach(), .reduce(), and so on. Go taught me dynamic arrays (slices). Then I noticed Java also has functional concepts, and dynamic arrays (ArrayList). C++ taught me the zero-overhead principle and I realized functions such as .map() and .forEach() in JavaScript have significant overhead.
I expect the main difficulty this presents to hospitals isn't that their customers will be informed, or even that their competitors will be advantaged, but that they will be unable to engage in price discrimination (charging different amounts to different customers, based on their willingness and ability to pay). Or at least, they'll need to do so transparently.

Web UI has really different model - different enough to be barely usable in desktop applications.

You can re-use components though like LifeletJS : https://sciter.com/sciter-js-runs-leafletjs-as-it-is/

But use of component frameworks have problems. Usually browser window spans whole desktop. But desktop application as a rule do not. Check this discussion: https://sciter.com/forums/topic/what-js-framework-is-prefere...
I don't think you understand the difference between something failing due to chance, and something failing due to a known manufacturing defect. One of them you get fixed out of your own pocket, the other is a recall. Try to guess which is which.
I think for most people in the US, this wouldn't make their top 50 list of things wrong with the US, or our legal system in particular. And many of those people would probably read about this, shrug, and think "eh, nothing in my old emails that I care if the government sees".

It's actually super weird, because US culture has a strong component of distrust of government. But the government is pretty good at making people fear crime, terrorism, etc., which allows them to get the people to "trust" them with mass surveillance and other privacy invasions.
> People that paid for my education are getting nothing in return.

So are you happy with that or are you going to pay back the government for your education? If your answer is no would it be fair to say that you want others to not get anything for free but you are perfectly happy to get free things yourself?
No offense, but I want to hate this opinion, yet I kind of agree with it on some level. There was a time where I could write several pages of compilable code on paper, using the standard library and 3rd party dependencies, without looking at docs or anything. I could do that after a relatively short time after using a language.

Now, I can still do the same, but that's after spending years using a particular language or ecosystem.

I wouldn't want to go back to writing code on paper without docs, but it definitely made you think differently when it came to both writing code and learning. Kind of like how when you had a question about something before the internet, you had to stew with it until you could answer it yourself, or until you met someone who could answer your question, or you did your own research. Now, I can take out my phone and answer most questions within 20 seconds.

O'Reilly has an excellent pocket book on generic SQL titled "SQL Pocket Guide: A Guide to SQL Usage" (it has several editions). That book worked really well for me. It is surprisingly thorough for a pocket book. I highly recommend it.

Besides that, I highly recommend https://sqlite.org/ as a reference. It's syntax pages for SQL are fantastic. But to understand the language you need a better resource, and for my money that's the book mentioned above.
I intellectually fall into the "Fuck Off Google" crowd (with a gmail account, and a paid YT), but, https://wiki.fuckoffgoogle.de/index.php?title=GoogleAlternat... , their list of alternatives are all not easy as a centralized solution. I don't think by any means the intent of this page is to be elitist, but this is a large ask for someone who fairly component technologically speaking, let alone the average user.

Just understanding something isn't the best choice, is not enough. You need to have the ethical argument, better ideas, and better products and results and that is hard beyond my capabilities and don't know what the answer is

May be I am naive, but I really have hard time understanding how/why/where google is evil;

Compared to what google is evil specifically ?

If google is gone tomorrow there is with certainty better alternative ?

What is evil any way when contrasted with other organizations in similar space ?
Days after Elon liquidates more of his stock than ever before to pay his tax bill. That's done shady shit right there.
Yeah, I was recently discussing firearms with my brothers via FB Messenger and sites for finding ammo were blocked.
We then tried several other types of sites to see if they were blocked. A lot of firearm related stuff, ammoseek, and piracy.
PirateBay was blocked.
Tor and Scihub were not.
Porn sites were not but antivax sites were.
Marijuana sites were not, but random liquor distillers were.
Total hit and miss.

But a lot of gun-related stuff was.

I wonder how many people those military robots have killed, maimed, enslaved, removed the rights from, etc, in the past 9 years?

Implying military robots are inherently evil is like implying that punching someone in the nose is inherently evil. Context is important. If I punch a random person in the nose, maybe I am evil. If I punch a person in the nose who randomly punched me in the nose, I wouldn't consider myself evil.

The destruction of Google is always one election away.

I worked for an old and conservative company in my youth, and in the same way that the rules for wearing my suitcoat were imparted (the moment of crossing from carpet to linoleum), restraint of partisan expressions in the workplace was required.

Google does not adhere to this doctrine. They embraced Obama, reacted violently to Trump, and while tight-lipped on Biden, their position is well-known.

This particular example would be unthinkable in any of my past positions:

https://www.abc15.com/news/national/leaked-video-shows-googl...

The 2022 election is going to place forces opposed to Google into power.

I am able to work with both staunch conservatives and liberals, though I am neither. This is not the Google way.

I am sure that Google's lobbying efforts have been both widely placed and generous, but I would not recommend any bias with YouTube or other outlets of partisan expression for the immediate future. Nancy is not going to be able to protect you in 2023.
It's kind of funny. Sure, with intense math you can maybe back into who some people are from an anonymous audience.

Meanwhile the government just asks the ISP what you've been doing and they happily comply.
I agree with all the points you make here, we’ll said.
I live just south of Superior. Let me know if you need a place to stay and I can assist.

My area has just been removed from the pre-evacuation zone, since the winds have finally subsided.

For anyone that doesn't live here, this was caused by Chinook winds that were stronger than usual combined with extremely dry air and vegetation. My specific location had 115 mph gusts today. When you live here you get used to the Chinooks but today was extreme. Entire house was shaking.

To add color to the comment above, it is indeed an extremely suburban area. The fire started on Marshall Mesa, which is a popular mountain biking trail. Notably if you go east from Marshall Mesa you suddenly hit a shopping center with a Costco and a Target. The fire went east and directly into the shopping center along with all of the homes clustered in the neighborhoods around it. Terrible, and with very little warning.

I hope your house is okay. I'm very glad your family is safe.
Thank You for starting the post, and my condolences on your loss.

From my side, I'm 41, working as a shy, socially awkward full-stack developer. I'm not entirely sure what the next 20 years of my career will be, and I spent a lot of my free time learning about businesses, following startups, startup school, lean startup, etc.

So this year, I decided to start a B2B side project focusing on ride-sharing, car rentals & subscriptions that I hope will be a viable business.

As a solo founder, I'm starting to build confidence, enjoy customer development and work on all business aspects, something I thought I could never do.

> Here's one way. Does a country build walls to keep people in, or keep people out?

Can you make this into an actual measurable statistic or does this require us to just guess at the motivations of wall builders?
> We're pretty skeptical here

I'd say more precisely that we're blindly cynical, and that makes us pretty vulnerable to a certain kind of misinformation.

When I'm bored, I pay attention to the 'new' posts. There are a few users that are constantly posting the kind of cynic bait that HN loves, dated any time from the last 70 years. It usually doesn't do very well (as in ranking on HN), but sometimes it does. I can't say all of it is misinformation, but when I bother to check, it often does turn out to be grossly misleading.
From Cuomo to this, I came to the realization that probably it’s not the governors really believed what they do or what they say, by shifting the public focus to something else more bizarrely, more outrageous, they will successfully quell any demands on accountability.
Interesting! Why FreeBSD over Linux out of curiosity?
But we don't have an efficient, humane public transport system. And it will take decades to build something even closer.
Even Europe didn't really have an efficient humane transport system that goes everywhere.

Sitting in a small box that can go almost anywhere you want, even with tons of rules, offers much more freedom than sitting in a slightly larger box that has even more rules and didn't go very many places.
Oh neat. What actual React code changes were needed for compatibility?
You should read "The God Question and the Galapagos Colony" by Stan Freeman. The first of the two stories is pretty much what you describe. When people make advanced AIs, it turns out that they basically shut themselves off.
Same here, but Ubunutu .. and the lack of upgradeability of storage.
My kid recently needed a script. We had to go through a specialty pharmacy that ships directly to home because it apparently wasn't carried in the pharmacies like CVS. The script was over $400.

Insurance denied the claim.

They "applied a coupon" and the price magically became $35.

In this one transaction there's multiple layers of corruption most likely starting with the prescribing doctor.

I don’t know exactly what’s supported by this thing, but it’s certainly not a strange idea to choose a subset of functionality to support that covers a huge range of use cases but improves performance, predictability, maintainability, file sizes, etc. Strict mode in JavaScript is a similar concept.
This is specifically in the dict datasets themselves?

I live west of Rocky Flats. I actually walked onto the now refuge that surrounds the plant tonight and took photos of the fires in the distance.

It should be noted that the contaminated areas of Rocky flats are extremely secure and buried under massively overbuilt layers of concrete containments. The EPA milked the site for super fund money for probably a decade longer than it needed to for the cleanup. If you're wondering how I know this it's because I have several neighbors who used to work at the plant and then worked on the EPA-led cleanup when it was a super fund site.
For anyone curious/hopeful, this only really disables the cores in terms of the kernel.

They're still consuming about the same power they would normally (when idle) :)

Meant to write, “several” whoops!
I think a great way to do this would be for the government to enter the market with a fixed enrollment and a lottery system.

They can run the program for 3 years for 100,000 people and transparently report all their findings and we can see how it went.
I think the core physical concerns could be addressed (in a different dialog).

Disclaimer: I've been homeless (never on the streets) and my mother died on the streets of SF.

The bigger concern is where do you park these people? The first qualifier that comes into play is: is the homeless person temporarily distressed or are they "broken" for life. In the disclaimer I gave I was of the former category and my mother was among the latter.

So this solution is meant for the latter group -- the ones who are never going to "contribute to society" again. This qualifier isn't meant to punish or demean, but to recognize that it's not necessarily cruel to move these people to remote locations (where land is cheap). But to do so humanely requires that the housing be better than tarp on a cyclone fence and affordable.

I still think cardboard could be repurposed in a safe and economical manner to aid in providing this shelter. Just like nobody would build a house how of wood without providing environmental protection this would do so as well.

Creating such homesteads would be far more cost efficient than the current efforts to sweep homelessness under the carpet.

The more intriguing question is: if one could create "free" communities such as these how would abuse of same be minimized? That is, ensuring that only the truly needy be admitted. And more interestingly, how could one establish communities like this that "bad people" don't "take over" the complex.

I'm stupidly hopeful enough to believe that these are problems that have satisfactory answers but I don't have them at the moment.
> Aging cannot be cured because death is a required experience of life. So when we will stop aging we will also stop living. In the end if we have enough time to do almost anything then all choices are meaningless thus making life and living boring and flat.

I think this is exactly what will change. That we will see aging a simple disease. Not a part of life at all.
Emphasizing how well he paid you only makes you more suspect as a source for everyone who is not you. I mean, the first accusation that gets thrown about in internet arguments is that the other side is a shill. Because we don't trust people to give honest public assessments about the people who pay them.
Quite a cynical take, but I understand this talking point after hearing it for the past 20 years. Many people would consider themselves freer if they were living under possible surveillance in a safe society, versus in a surveillance-free society with the constant fear of random terrorist attacks.
> Nobody is talking about excluding Thiel from investing in Saudi Arabia, or forfeiting his right to safety or privacy.

They were. They said he was worried that his investments would be discriminated against if it was found out that he was gay.

Deplorable really. Trying to make out like the bullying journalists from that two bit gossip rag were fine to oust him as gay because he is greedy or rich or something. Doesn't make it okay.

> I assure you Saudi Arabia is a much bigger "bully" to gay people than Gawker ever was, yet Thiel has no problem enabling it, and you apparently have no problem with him doing so either.

I have no problem with gay people investing in what they choose to and not being discriminated against due to their sexuality. Sounds like you do.
Unfortunately, users aren't always given a choice. They have to interact with software, because it's the only realistic way to do their jobs, engage in commerce, get medical care, etc. Virtually all of this stuff happens within their browser. What are you going to do, tell people that they can't use a browser unless they've passed a leetcode interview? And how would it help?

I've seen elite developers get just as frustrated with bad software as anybody else.

And thank you for writing software that can be controlled via Python, if that's what you're up to.
To play devil's advocate here, I think it's a frequently repeating pattern for a reason that doesn't just boil down to the outliers who tread this well worn path over and over again being fundamentally broken or corrupt. You fight this war long enough against what you view to be the villains, and sooner or later you come to the conclusion that the villains got the way they are for a reason.

They were shaped by evolutionary forces dealing with the rest of humanity proper, the great unwashed masses, who want to know nothing and be proud of it, and who if you ask a question that is too complex will be made to feel uncomfortable, inferior, or unworthy. In large part, it seems the genuine curiosity that lies at the center of the psyche that inspires the outliers who end up succeeding beyond their wildest dreams is terrifying to the vast majority of humanity. Sooner or later they give up, shrug their shoulders, and say "Well, what can I do, we all must make our own decisions."

And so they retreat to their islands, while the ugly mass of humanity slides into a morass of continuously demanding that an uncaring universe be bent to their perceptions of how it should be, rather than how it actually is.

The parties in question that started out on such a hopeful path are now decidedly hostile, I do not dispute that. But the reason they became so is not because of their nature, it is the swamp which they waded through.
Yes, but still, as another poster put it, it's the difference of changing the lighting versus changing the texture pack...
Or worse: A pedestrian. But luckily with this you'll still be able to wait for 10 minutes, then drive a circuitous 5km route rather than walking to the shop your house shares a fence with.
Wait, this is only just happening? CDC is a joke.
The patient should pay the same, no matter who does it. Compensation of healthcare staff is an internal matter and frankly not relevant to the patient.

That's how it works in Germany.
Hospitals are unbelievably corrupt and it’s truly despicable.

The worst bit is that this is often learned during trying times in ones life, when stress makes it easier to overlook.
In both Canada and the UK there is also private systems available that you can decide to avail yourself off, which like the US system will charge you into bankruptcy but will give you the immediacy you desire, then you get to have a choice, wait or debt.
When you are imagining single payer in the US, are you imagining it being designed and run by the people who created the current system?
I like to think I have tried them all. I wish there were more to try. I settled on links, original and optional graphics. The later is the one found in BSD/Linux package repositories. Compiles fast, source is relatively small. All prior versions are available. Can make the must-have changes myself. No need to rely on anyone else. FWIW, links has the best HTML tables support of any text-only browser I have tried. As an HTML reader links has worked well for me for a long time. I guess compared with an advertising-supported browser that is impossible to control,^1 links could be "bliss", depending on how much one values speed, control and avoiding ads.

1. I can compile an OS, including a customised kernel and hundreds of robust, reliable and secure programs, in less time and with fewer resources than I could compile one of the popular browsers. (By comparison, I do not consider popular browsers to be robust, reliable nor secure. In practice, customisation by users is only possible with "permission" from a company. These oversized programs do not belong to users.)
Wow, a Gawker defender. I thought all of you had slithered back under your rocks years ago.
If users want compatibility and interoperability (which most do), there needs to be some awareness of at least buying into and using open ecosystems.
"custom version of React he publishes..."

It is not a a custom version of React but rather extension of DOM model by just these:

1. Native JSX support. In Sciter QuickJS was extended to support JSX literals out of the box: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp/blob/master/quickjs-jsx...

2. Native methods:

- Element.patch(...JSX expression...) - native VDOM reconciliation implementation.

- Element.append/prepend(...JSX expression...) - DOM population by JSX

- Native support of lifecycle "events": componentDidMount/WillUnmount and componentUpdate.

Surprisingly, these are enough to allow to use pretty much all ReactJS functionality, and with native speed. And without the need for any external libraries. Check: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/docs/md/r...
