Because the OS doesn't know when the user initiates a paste. The user tells an application that they want to paste, and then the application tells the OS to give it the contents of the clipboard. (Sort of; some windowing systems do it slightly differently, but that's the gist of it.) That's indistinguishable from the application telling the OS it wants to paste when the user hasn't requested it.

Sure, there are ways that you could design the system, such as making it so the only way to paste is for the user to hit a key combination, or perhaps click on or touch a UI element that is known to be controlled/hosted/owned by the OS. Then the OS can push the clipboard contents to the foreground application, rather than the application trying to pull it. But then that becomes very limiting, UX-wise. (For example, you wouldn't be able to put a "paste" item in a context menu.)

You could also have a permissions model, where the OS prompts for permission every time an app wants to fetch the clipboard contents (presumably with an "I trust this app" option to get it to stop asking). But that might be considered too intrusive, or possibly just ineffective, as people will often just mash at whatever button is closest to get a modal dialog to go away.

At any rate, we have these copy/paste mechanisms from when people didn't really think about local security in the way we do today. Redesigning things would break a lot of existing applications. It might be worth it, or it might not.

The only way is rewriting the front-end in a different framework. If you can, you probably should do it all at once.

If doing it all at once is too much work, you can look at web components as a technology to have both in the same page. Angular elements allows wrapping angular code and putting it inside another framework. Angular also makes it easy to embed web components into its pages, so you could rewrite piece by piece in a framework that supports creating web components, like vue.

The real challenge with the piece by piece approach is managing data flow and component lifecycle across the frameworks, and doing that requires codebase-specific solutions.

One thing I don't understand about the JS ecosystem in general is the focus on minified size. This article does the same thing: preact is 6k or so whereas react is 36k.

> Similarly, free speech denialism is resulting in resurgence of censorship and propaganda

What is free speech denialism? Nobody denies free speech is a very important right to be cherished and preserved. Propaganda hae nothing to do with free speech, and hasn't really moved either way (there's as much as there was before).

It's not about the popular narrative, it's about boundaries. Overt racism, antivax anti-science shouldn't be excused with free speech, which doesn't in any way impact wether or not and who can criticise what.
The post that you replied to is about the spread of the virus.
Your reply is about "hospitalization and severe side effects, including death".

It is common knowledge by now, January 2022, that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines do not prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

A tripple-vaccinated person can infect other people.
I was infected by a tripple-vaccinated person and I was vaccinated as well.

We both still live, so maybe the vaccines did something to prevent hospitalization and severe side effects, including death.

How is preventing hospitalization and severe side effects, including death relevant from an airline perspective?

Obviously they need to do their best to prevent spreading of the virus, but if they start mandating things that have almost no impact on that, such as the vaccines, they are overstepping boundaries.
They already do that. Try telling a black man he can't come into your store. Try posting a job add that says "White Anglo Saxon Protestant Men only".

Yes. Take it from the guy who helped design the very software that targets you. Christopher Wylie worked for Cambridge Analytica and I recall reading from his book that psychographics are definitely taken into account when targeting people with political advertisements; I am sure that this applies to ads for consumer goods. In an excerpt in the book, the author discusses how there are 5 psychographic "categories" that are taken into account when selecting which ads to show to people.

"militarism" — guns and shooting, martial arts, crossbows, and knives
"violent occultism" — drugs, black magic, paganism
"intellectual activities" — singing and making music, foreign travel, the environment
"credulousness" — the paranormal, flying saucers
"wholesome interests" — camping, gardening, hill-walking

Individuals are also rated on openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.

The idea is that with the massive amounts of data one produces from surfing the Web or even merely being online, the software can decide which ads to show to which type of person. Do they engage in "violent occultism" and "credulousness" such as unironically browsing and discussing ideas in QAnon forums? Well, they're probably likely to engage with and respond to political advertisements, so the algorithm feeds them political advertisements on the assumption that they will engage. (This is a cloudy example, but the idea remains. Data that is remotely useful will be used. This is Big Data.)

I think what is interesting to note is that in their research/experiments, they've specifically targeted the Incel community specifically for this reason. Demographically speaking, Incels are typically young adult males "who can't get laid" (verbatim) and are highly susceptible to targeted advertising. If you want to read more about this, there is a book written about how Cambridge Analytica helped Donald Trump win the 2016 US elections by Christopher Wylie. I highly recommend it.

Some of the episodes removed don’t make any sense to me. Several removed today feature mainstream comedians, some of whom have their own podcasts on the platform. I don’t listen to JRE, so maybe something is in the content I’m unaware of.

These just stuck out to me as it seemed the removals are focused on people rather than guests considering repeat guests had all episodes removed.

In my experience in academia, albeit not in the sciences, dishonesty far from the main problem. There is a big difference between fundamental research of wide and lasting interest, and research that ticks enough boxes to be published. Because the second is a lot easier to do than the first, and is what an academic's performance is judged on, everyone ends up spewing out mediocre papers that, intellectually, take us nowhere. Research becomes degraded as a means to the end of a career.

Interestingly the Wii is more or less the same hardware as the GC but with upgraded specs. In fact the Wii even has GC ports on it (for GC controllers and memory cards) and plays GC discs. Additionally the Wiimote was originally designed to be an add on for the GC before Nintendo decided to release it as the primary controller for their next console.

That's a bad choice (like go), but you can't expect people to find a unique name. It's best to avoid frequent words, names of popular things, and names in the same domain, for your project's visibility, but the dictionary isn't big enough for all the projects in the world. Github alone has over 200 million repositories.

That's not how survivorship bias works. Some things really do increase the chances of survival. You might as well dismiss life jackets as survivorship bias, because hey, what about all the people who were wearing life jackets and drowned anyway?

at highlevel, you must know what you're supposed to deliver, which can be extremely difficult when not everyone does (incl yourself) so people start to second guess things to 'get things moving' which can be a huge risk and potentially completely wrong.

> Yes, a study failing to replicate is not in itself evidence of fraud. Nor is it definitive evidence that the effect shown in the original doesn't exist, since a replication can be messed up too.

It’s not a trial to determine the guilt of a supposed fraudster. This is what institutions should do because fraud is a breach of contract (in all sane institutions).

However, the main problem is made up results in the scientific record. This is what we attempt to solve by retracting articles. And from the point of view of the scientific record, there is no meaningful difference between a made up result and something that cannot be replicated.
So we get back to the original point, how do these people ruin flights?
And...fax machines are heavily used in the medical and legal professions in the US. I have a doctor's card on my desk right now that has a fax number on it, because medical records and forms often need to be faxed. Anyone who's ever had to file a worker's comp or long term disability sort of deal knows the fun of playing fax tag between the company their employer contracts that to and the doctor's office.

That's not even touching on the cult of the magic signature. A piece of paper is suddenly special because someone scribbled something that looks roughly like their name on it, even though that doesn't prove anything.
Louis Theroux did two interviews. You linked to the second one.

Same with the new MBP.

The text does fade in over a second or two, and while that happens, I can notice the entire screen flicker ever so slightly. There's clearly some very impressively calibrated interplay between the LCD panel and the backlight going on.

> I can understand why the notion programmers have that "color" is an RGB triple of 8-bit integers from 0 to 255 is so attractive.

There is a difference between calling out misinformation and censoring free speech.
