Ad less pages. That provide the content without trying to monetize it.
If I have not understood the post then it is probably their communication style.

They lay out a bunch of things to fix about a system that could bring down your browser. What if that system that communication with Google about GCP messed up for them isn't even the IPs you are contacting during unrest in Khazakhstan or an election in Uganda? What if it is a semi-intentionally confused transparent proxy?

Testing a few more things that a friendly proxy may do as it improves your connection is hardly the same as assuming the worst about your network in proper paranoia mode.

This could be ‘hidden hearing loss’. It’s a catch-all term for hearing problems in noisy backgrounds even when sensitivity to quiet sounds (what is tested by an audiologist) is normal. It’s not clear what causes it, and it may not be one thing, but it’s not uncommon.
Bit heavy on the metaphor here? This reminds me a lot of Three Body Problem, one of the premises of which is that there is an alien civilisation that can mess with particle accelerators to prevent us from discovering how the universe actually works.
In the US at least you can typically contest a ticket. If you feel it was unjust or unfair you can make your case before a judge, doesn’t mean you get it overturned.

If the sign didn’t state hours and it wasn’t clear it was a restricted time, maybe you could make a case.
Thanks, will try it out.
Humanity will surely survive one way or another - when I say apocalypse I don't mean complete and total extinction.

Civilisation adapted to covid because we had power and communication. It simply won't survive the instantaneous loss of both for an extended period.

With pre-industrial population levels, maybe we could survive in our towns and villages without electricity and communication. But now? I think the suffering would be unimaginable.
I have long been banging on that software is a new form of literacy (and will have similar deep far reaching social changes)

I completely agree with you about the Singapore PMs political views. But this is a turning in the weather - all of us must become coders - the "elites", our leaders, our children, our accountants etc. And one country has now got one "literate" leader. He will make different decisions because of his literacy.

We might not like those decisions, but software awareness will affect his decisions (although probably less than local politics, economics, bribes etc)

We are seeing chnage happen
In my opinion, this is a good move. It seems odd to label Gas in particular as part of a green strategy (they technically don't call it sustainable), but I think this makes sense considering we need to phase out coal as soon as possible.
Is having the computer be ready in a second or milliseconds really the bottleneck in the writing process?

Maybe I'm ignorant but it sounds similar to people writing their perfect static site generator instead of actually writing blog posts.
>How many of these claims had the support of thousands of reputable scientists backed up by uncountable studies?

Virtually all of them? These are often still claims made today. The common retort to this is to say 'See how dire it has been for decades!'

>What you are linking are individual studies or ancient history,

Lets take John Stossel for example, he made the counter claim that we have not had an increase in severity to hurricanes and other similar weather. He got fact checked as false. So absolutely not ancient history.

>not the aggregate of research which says that climate change

Let's get each other back on the same page. I do not deny climate change. I deny the alarmism. The claims like this: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/13/world/climate-change-oceans-h...

5 hiroshima nuclear bombs a second! Except that claim is also true during the coldest day of the last ice age because that energy equivalency is coming from the sun.

>uman encroachment are causing oceans to rise, species to disappear, top soil to disappear, fish stocks to dwindle, and the air we breath and water we drink to become increasingly polluted.

Humans aren't causing the oceans to rise. https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/images/119/...

The sea levels greatly increased about 7000-8000 years ago. Most likely this is the source of stories like Noahs ark and atlantis going under water. From about 6000 years ago to today it has risen at exactly the same rate. In fact Al Gore's false claim that florida would be under water was in part due to 'icecaps melting' as well as that standard rate of rise. Yet despite the icecaps melting Florida remains...

Species disappearing is a concern to be sure. Not really climate change related at all. Human sprawl and destruction of natural habitats is a problem. We should do more about this.

Top soil disappearing is a gigantic problem. Like beyond immense. I have researched extensively around regenerative farming, vertical farming, aquaponics. Here's the thing... climate change is actually helping in for this problem. This problem is entirely being caused by immoral farming. We must greatly increase the amount of animal farming is occurring. Get back to pasture raised animals.

Fish stocks are another big concern of mine as a hobby fisherman. This is entirely due to commercial over fishing. We should do something about this. However blaming climate change for this is missing the target.

>. Salon, Breitbart, The Guardian, Forbes, Al Gore, Oprah, Snopes and the Independent you linked are not reliable sources.

Are you asserting climate change proponents didnt make these claims in history? That would be a fallacy.

I've been using DDG for a few months for almost all my searches now. It gets me the results I want almost all the time. When I do switch to google when DDG isn't enough, google gives me SEO crap and I go back to DDG, rephrase and focus my search and get the results I want.

Why does google serve up so much irrelevant crap nowadays?
I think we are in a transitional period of journalism which is why it is so crazy right now.

Old type publications are competing with clickbait and a million other attention grabbing things online, and have to go down that route as well. The more outrageous the better. That incentive doesn't create good journalism.

In the meantime the market is correcting with things like substack, thank god people like Matt Taibbi and a few others can actually do quality journalism there. Something like substack I think will eventually win out in the quality journalism market.

But it takes time. A lot of people still believe big name publications like the NYT are where quality information comes from. It takes time for markets to change.
The only proof is of ownership, regardless if it was stolen or bought.

I still can't understand why they created this bizarre program through bank lenders and the SBA, when they really only needed to send checks directly to people or employers based on the Social Security records. There was, as usual, a sizable handout to banks, in the form of a 1% processing fee.
Doesn't seem excessive or unusual, stuff like this is normal anywhere where companies build big things.

- your landing page says 'On Circles, your data is encrypted at rest. This means no ads or questionable business.', how does data being encrypted relate to 'no ads'?

- asking for contacts while saying nothing about how you monetize is a huge red flag to me

- since you are already using cross platform JS framework, how about making it available as a PWA? or maybe provide apk directly? google store doesn't cover a sizeable number of android devices

- your landing page still says 2021 in its footer
This is the only social media app that peaked my interest in the past few years and I will definitely give it a go.

As others have asked, can you tell us more about your pricing strategy? I would rather that you start charging right away, so I know that a) this has a chance of surviving for a longer period of time and b) you won't fall back ot ads or the VC teat :-) Also, as you said, since it doesn't depend on dozens of my friends using it, I think it would be easier to convince a couple of my friends to start using and paying for it.

Another question is: I'm guessing your biggest competitor are WhatsApp/Signal/etc. group chats. Why is it better to use Circle instead of group chats (which are also often organized as circles of friends)?
I think it's because programming is not that much of a stretch to the brain if you've done any mathematics and are literate. The brain is used to combining structures through words to create sentences and programming runs along that same path (just more strictly).
This is amazing news.

I implemented GDPR consent management for some US publishers with EU exposure. As part of this I evaluated vendors and various systems like the IAB framework.

IMHO it was clear it was not compliant. It could never know the potential adtech it was going to load in advance (and therefore could not ask someone to consent), and it still allowed ads/adtech/trackers to load in page before asking for consent.

They ignored anyone who pointed this out.

Yeah. Most WP developers and Wordpress itself agree with GP, but it is businesses asking for six-figures websites that require a designer to get made, despite developers and Wordpress saying the contrary.

I've seen it happening a thousand times: businesses asking for extremely intricate websites (despite better advice), only to fail to deliver the content they needed room for and having to hire copywriters for fluff. At some point they don't care about money anymore, it's all about the thrill of the bike shed.
I’m also in the EU and received a spam SMS not even five minutes ago. I get maybe one a year, so your point stands. Cold sales attempts used to be more frequent, but after blocking a handful of numbers they stopped.
maybe not, but it seems really odd that an established ship-building company would build something that can't make it down-river like that

I remember UX good practice was that the top half (or viewport) is the key for UX design. The info you need should be clear and visible instantly on load.

It's funny that now i have a reflex to immediately skip the top half and scroll to the bottom in a vain attempt to find what i'm looking at/for.

Wild that there are people who take enough time out of their day to pass laws against it.

I only ever think of gay men when I’m made aware that some countries have laws against them. Otherwise I’m never aware of any “public displays” because I don’t care what boys are doing with their mates.
It would only be odd if this arrangement was somehow unusual, but it isn't. The bridge was designed to do this.

It would've been unusual for local authorities to not work with the shipbuilder.
You can google it.

The point is; Singapore doesn't toe the US line on China and therefore gets HRW and similar thrown after them.

Which is absurd as Singapore is by far the best-governed country in the neighbourhood.

Respect the user.

Neither are being done here. An email explaining the setting is one thing. Enabling the setting for the users is blatant disrespect. You and your team of PMs are destroying Google's opportunities with our users by forcing changes like this and pushing them over the edge.
Gee, I dunno, probably the same reason everybody else insists on the right to exist?
> And Hamas is not harmless by any means. It has a big rocket arsenal, contacts with Iran, it has showed it can instigate civil unrest inside Israel, it kidnapped in the past civilians and soldiers, it has a good defense force (Israelis had great difficulties entering the strip in 2014), it launched tens of thousands of rockets and thousands of incendiary payloads causing life losses and fires, it has drones, earth to air missiles, it penetrated Israel borders a few times. And it's growing more powerful. No it's not harmless (and that's even not considering their soft power in terms of propaganda and controlling news sources)

Oh yeah, like when Saddam had the strongest army in the world and mass destruction weapons…

Regarding Rockets: last time Hamas sent all their rockets accumulated for the past few years, they have killed 13 people! That's not bad for a lone wolf acting on behalf of ISIS or the like, but for an organized force, that's ridiculous.

> it has a good defense force (Israelis had great difficulties entering the strip in 2014)

A mere 67 soldiers died in a month and a half of operations… That's not what it likes to fight against a “good defense force”.

You're just being brainwashed by war propaganda.

No thanks.
Super simple, I didn't know how to code 18 months ago so when we started (was just I at that point), I stared building with what I could.

The front end is built with React Native (JS) as it provides a way for us to more or less maintain two OS with one codebase. It also is somewhat simple for us to convert out code for web with react-native-web. We do use a series of community build packages (more than I would like) but that's how its went for us early stage.

The back end is built with Rails as a simple API layer, keeps it simple to make models and controllers and build lightly with the focus on the architecture. Phone verification integrated through Twilio and we use Lockbox for at-rest encryption.

Hosted serverless on AWS EB (if going back I would stick to Heroku at least until this point and beyond).

As an experiment we also were building on top of the Matrix protocol (https://matrix.org/) with their Ruby SDK, but the cons outweighed the benefits in the end. Would love to figure out a solution here, and love the idea of interoperability championed by products like beeper.com.

Overall, I think that React/React Native and Rails is a good stack for hacking MVPs and would recommend.
It's also illegal in Singapore to proceed with any investigation of government activity. There are no checks and balances. There is no investigative journalism or allowed points of view that are not approved by the state. There is conflict of interest within the government, and no ability to dig into it without prosecution.

Imagine Obama suing a college student for something they wrote on their blog. Now, Trump might have done something like that.. which is the main parallel to draw with the current leadership in Singapore.

I want better tools to isolate myself from the bad parts of the web.
The web is now a user hostile place to be. There are dark patterns, clickbait headlines, taboola churn, autoplaying never ending videos, ads that track you, cover content, distract you and occasionally try to force malware onto you.

I pity anyone who's using accessibility tools to help us the web as sites often have a timer before they cover the content with a nag to sign up to their newsletter or they track your mouse and display something else because they don't want you to leave.

I recently was inspired by a hacker news article to try using the web without an adblocker. Holy hell. It's almost unusable. I made a video where I recorded this on my PC, I'm going to do the same on my phone. I had no idea it was this bad.

In contrast, the BBC website still seems pretty usable because they don't need to run ads (at least when you're accessing from the UK). They do, however, have the utterly ridiculous concept of having autoplay on by default so if you've clicked to watch a video about a current event, if you don't click 'cancel' in 5 seconds they'll load you another video about something else (seemingly at random) when there is no reason to do so at all.

The web reminds me of the state of movie and music piracy before Netflix etc. In those days you bought a DVD and were forced to sit through an unskippable FBI warning and in some cases unskippable trailers, whereas if you pirated the movie you got a superior product. You got a copy of the movie that let you watch it on any device, let you make backups and didn't punish you by forcing you to stare at unskippable content.

If you were a music pirate then you didn't need to worry about Sony putting malware onto CDs that installed rootkits in your pc.

Software pirates didn't need to worry about similar rootkits that made the game run slower than the pirated version or generally buggered up your computer.

We've reached this state with the web. I am forced to use an ad blocker for my security and sanity. Most adverts are lies, scams and are too damn distracting.

This isn't the vision that Tim Berners-Lee had.

Look at this: http://lite.cnn.com/en

See how fast it is? See how well it runs on any old device you may have? I'd rather have this than the current web. Surely there's an in between compromise somewhere.

I'm not a serious WordPress user, so this comes from a perspective of not quite understanding what OP is describing. But.

"From the beginning [using wordpress for complicated non-blog sites] has felt like a hack – WordPress is, and always has been a blogging platform at heart," but once WordPress decides to "pull away from this use case completely" [wait, what use case?] to "move the platform to a fully fledged site builder"... that's the problem? Because it sounds like they're intending to be moving toward the OP's use case, not away from it?

Can someone explain what i'm seeing as tension here?

In theory, that's how it happens in Firefox. But when you have a bug in the core of the product (the network stack), there isn't much that the rest of the product can do to isolate from it.
I think this would only apply on subdomains because a CNAME cannot be set on the root domain because the root domain is the DNS Start of Authority (SOA) which must be an IP.
I have yet to buy an Apple product, but Android is making me consider it.
