> The definition you linked to supports my argument.

I honestly don’t see how and if you decide to not explain then I guess we’re done.

Disney can censor their content because they own it and it can’t legally be reproduced or redistributed elsewhere. Otherwise, it’s really challenging for a private company to censor someone who can simply produce content elsewhere.

The reason I’m making a big deal about the semantics is that censorship and free speech are charged words that get people riled up, and for good reason. But they lose their meaning if we start applying them to temporary, minor restrictions rather than actual suppression.

It’s like saying you’re being censored if you can’t say whatever you want in the lobby of Spotify HQ. No, that’s private property and you don’t have that right. Go to the public square and say whatever you want there — no one is censoring you.

The idea that you can do or say whatever you want on private property is bizarre to me. That’s never been part of any country’s laws or cultural history.

When Rogan can’t say something on his own platform or in a public setting or 1 company controls the large majority of content distribution, then I’m with you 100% that that’s censorship. Until then it’s the market at work and non-monopolistic companies conducting business within the bounds of their contract. If you don’t like it, take your content and your business somewhere else, it’s a free country.
The first place most foreigners will get a taste of that (or at least where I got a taste) is the policeman with a very long stick standing on a small, raised platform in the train station below the Narita International Airport.
>Do I support people's right to protest? Yes, but... You can't honk all night Block major infrastructure for days Desecrate war monuments Flood 911 with fake calls

I suspect how much people support "people's right to protest" is directly proportional to how much they support The Cause. If they don't support The Cause, they want protesters to be as out of the way as possible (ie. "free speech zones"). If they do support The Cause, anything up to and including violence/vandalism is justified, because a few causalities would be canceled out by all the positive effects that The Cause would bring.
Or just have Firefox which gives you the option to disable alerts if one comes up quickly after you already acknowledged another.

Alternatively, open up the browser console and type `alert = undefined`
Maybe it also has to do with depending heavily on their money, too.
Not just Webkit - it's a Safari WebView in disguise (pretty decent disguise though, I use it daily myself). Apple doesn't allow any other type of browser on iOS.
I’m happy to see this launch, Andrei! You all have dedicated so many years to working on chat for business. I’m excited to see this out there, and watch this next chapter in your story unfold!
High standards are quite distinct from the indiscriminate "weeding out" effect that's most often the outcome of bad teaching. If you make every effort to teach Math 202 in the most effective way but also expect stellar results from everyone, that's not the same as what the Princeton student experienced.
This is a big factor. I’ve experimented with in person code reviews but it’s kind of annoying to organize. Definitely open to ideas on this front.
>> We as a community, cannot afford to let Firefox languish until the only browsers in the world are Chromium derivatives. The diversity of truly independent browser engines is far too important to give up without a fight.

There are a lot of people oh HN who agree with that but then use a different browser for whatever reason. I feel like these people are being very hypocritical and should use what they want to succeed. Firefox is very usable and increasing its market share starts with you. Or to use another cliche - be the change you wish to see.

That's not to say Mozilla doesn't need to get their shit together, but if market share drops too low they will not be able to get money to do the things they need to do.
Or, you know, just refuse to support Spotify's destruction of podcasts by not listening to any podcasts on Spotify.
Yes, but that is not a great way to convince people. Surely they would move back to Chrome as soon as they realize you were lying?
Oh hey JB! We should catch up sometime! My contact is in my bio
Webkit is not safari. It doesn't use the same ui or bookmarks for example.
I don't follow this line of reasoning. Google pays Mozilla for the search traffic. If Firefox overtook Chrome in market share, Mozilla's position would become even _more_ favourable and they could command a larger sum from Google. If Google threatened to end the agreement, Mozilla could simply walk to Bing/DuckDuckGo or whoever else.
The Japanese way is faster and cheaper, which is important when you're on a tight schedule. Simple mouth animations are easier to draw. They also have the benefit of looking less jarring when dubbed multiple languages, which is important as a lot of Anime is just as popular outside Japan as within.

There is a middle ground, seen in 2D western animation made on a lower budget than your typical Disney fare. Artists will create a mouth chart which includes drawings for a wide range of English phonemes. They are then used as a guide for drawing. There are software tools that assist in this process, making it a lot easier to do in a short amount of time. This is probably how South Park manages to do real accurate lip syncing while working on a 6 day production cycle.
This is similar to Microsoft not allowed Chrome as default browser in Windows. Apple has to give in eventually.
Please, stick to messing up your own country, and leave Canada alone.
Markdown supports arbitrary HTML, you can do this:

# Heading

<script>
const foo = 1 + 1;
window.alert(`1 + 1 = ${foo}`);
</script>

Paragraphs of exposition.

In practice most markdown renderers will strip HTML or at least script tags as it is obviously a cross site security risk to allow github.com to serve user uploaded scripts without sanitization.
You are not mistaken. Check my reply to an account (created 1hr after OP post) with one comment here. Comment was self contradictory and has misinformation.

If it walks, talks, and looks like a duck...

Political posts should require accounts older than X to comment, imho
I remember one of these troll websites was one that displayed a picture of some James Bond like character. The entire window would then become "wavy", moving around the screen while it animates the waves, with of course the close buttons being totally unresponsive.

I wonder now how did those things work. I guess back in time browsers allowed you to do whatever you wanted with zero consequences?
Things are more joined up than you realise here in the UK. You know it was me who phoned GCHQ?
Czech Republic is another country where it's easy to do so.
Firefox (and all browsers on iOS) is just a wrapper around the Safari engine, because of Apple rules. On Android and desktop (including MacOS) it's fully custom.
Or even more specifically: Do I like restrictions? No. Do I want restrictions to end? Yes. Do I want all restrictions to end now? No. Do I want any restrictions to end now? Maybe.
I played a lot of Graal Online in my youth. The fact that the servers were player-made was very unique and gave each server a really distinct feeling in terms of graphics and theme (Personally played on Arkland Empires/AEON and Bravo Evolved).

Playerworlds usually had 25-200 players on at any given time, so the communities were tight-knit and you ended up getting to know everyone eventually, even the staff who were just regular players.

The game encouraged creativity since anyone could become a staff member and help shape the playerworld. Messing around with the level editor and tinkering with Graal's custom scripting language 'GScript' was my first introduction to programming, so it was highly influential for me. Come to think of it, it was also my first introduction to Linux! (Thanks Napo from AEON!)
As someone who worked for largest US based shipping company, I have zero faith in this overhaul. It will be rigged by UPS, FedEx.
I think they could transition to being a developer tools company with a focus on building enterprise web applications with the goal of making the "default" web development process correspond to their mission statement.

I think that Chrome and IE proved that the most important users are developers and business admins. If Mozilla wants to make the web a place for real human users in line with their ideals, then they need to focus on making their vision the default for developers and businesses.
>Why free?

Surely you don't do everything for monetary compensation? Maintaining a contact, helping a friend move, having a guest, teaching someone something, people do all sorts of stuff for free. Just because feel like it, inclined to the thing itself, promoting their other work, wanting to make the world a better place. Ruin others' similar efforts, to emerge as a monopoly and excercise larger control[0]. There's plenty of reasons.

Unicode's goals include subsuming all prior existing text encodings. That means ASCII and ISO-8859-1 of course, but also really obscure encodings that maybe only were ever used on a handful of machines. The idea is if your project isn't using Unicode, the reason shouldn't ever be "Oh we need this obscure character - we use it for compatibility with our 1978 Huge Corp X42 mainframe but it isn't in Unicode".

This is often the reason why character X is in Unicode but seemingly equally useful character Y isn't. At some point somebody put X in an encoding on some archaic hardware you've never seen, but not Y. In this sort of case neither X nor Y are things you should emit if you don't need them, but they're in Unicode in case somebody finds a pile of Huge Corp X42 tapes and wants to convert that to Unicode.

In cases where both X and Y, and even the more obscure Z are encoded, chances are Unicode has them all because humans (not just some obscure computer hardware from the dark ages) used X, Y and Z to write stuff, and another Unicode goal is to be able to encode all human writing systems. The over-abundance of combining forms you abused on your word "this" is almost all for that reason.
Have had very good luck with all dell refurbished laptops, these last many years. Possibly they are better, because anything broken, is fixed.
This weekend a bunch of counter protesters went out and blocked a street in Ottawa to prevent new convoy protestors from entering the downtown core.[1]

I think if the ire of your neighbors has risen to the point that they'll go out and sit in -20C weather all day to stop you, it's not unlikely that someone would spend an afternoon poking at your website.

The devil doesn't require an advocate.
But the bank and government apps that one realistically needs do not require in-App purchases or other subscriptions, of which Apple or Google take a 30% cut. Has there ever been a problem that such an app has not been approved? If not, what is the problem that regulation ought to address?
> From the livestreams it seems clear that this is an authentic and peaceful working class protest

I would question the "working class" bit. Most of us on HN are office workers, who don't get out much, so we tend to assume anyone who works outdoors, including driving a truck, must be working class. But remember that every trucker participating in this protest has a truck to participate in: they are either owner-operators, or participating on behalf of trucking firm. Owner-operators are petite bourgeoisie; owners of firms are capitalists. Neither are working class, in an economic sense.

Really, when we office drones say the truckers are working class, what we actually mean is that they are rednecks. They come from rural areas, they probably don't watch the same TV shows as us, and perhaps they don't even drink speciality coffee. But you can be a redneck petit bourgeois, or a redneck capitalist!

Cool suggestions, thanks for sharing!

Two reasons why Turbostat is my weapon of choice here. It's part of the kernel tools package which might be important if you don't have access to outside repos (think CoLo sites, etc).

The other reason is acces to tsc frequency which is pretty important in my line of work.

I'll definitely give s-tui a try. Looks really nice.
Over-anthropomorphizing for self-amusement: perhaps it's merely playing with its food, creating new stars that it fully intends to devour in the future.
Not disagreeing but just pointing out that I felt the author also said this:

> Fixing these is great but your friends (let’s hope) don’t want to hurt your feelings. This makes it almost impossible to get them to say things like, “your jokes aren’t funny” or “you should delete section 3 because it’s horrendous and unsalvageable”. Good editors are gold.

Perhaps this is a good example of their main point, haha!
Luckily they can run the whole scheme from Elbonia, and people are more than happy to send over cryptos from the US.
> So influencing canada is bad because they were doing it since 1776, but influencing china is fine because they only did it starting in 1945?

The U.S. didn't even influence China until the normalization of relations under Nixon, in 1972. Furthermore, the relation was always less unequal between the two, than it was and is between the U.S. and other countries in the Americas.

> Do you also think "european powers" should stay out of genocides in africa, because of their outsized influence in the past?

European powers have historically been very bad at handling African genocides. Even as recently as the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, France initially supported the government of the Génocidaires, and did not aid the victimized Tutsis. Given Europe's awful track record in this area, it is impossible to say how constructive intervention could be.

> You failed to state the justification, so I was forced to guess.

I apologize for underrating your grasp of geography.
I would still find the real reason and fix it correctly. One easy trick if you already know it's throwing NPE is to debug with Exception breakpoint set to break on NPE.

You will find the exact point it fails and you will know how to fix it.

BTW I'm pretty frustrated when I do this to find NPE in my code only to find that spring or apache libraries throw and catch NPEs all over the place :) Don't add to the mess :)
Hi, hounestly i cant say why dell does this. even as a DELL Employee some questions and some decisions are not to my liking but theres only so much you can do as the little guy.

My Policy is:
Displays, sure i can go with DELL
Servers (if i would need), why not

Clients: i rather not (allthough i have a 5420 as my Company Provided Device and i kinda like it)
AFAIK, the issue with hibernation, partly at least, is because they don't provide an alternative sleep method via firmware. Only the default method is available; e.g. S2idle on Linux.

I was about to link to a discussion about that, but that seems to be gone as well.

The relevant kernel docs here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/states.txt
To be fair the US is pretty much the entire military for all of the West, Japan, Korea, and Australia. We just consolidated militaries after WW2 to prevent Europeans from fighting one another.

But I definitely agree we could get rid of war. We've been in long peace. It seems very possible.
Thanks but apparently you can close the tab in iOS Safari so it’s a Firefox issue.
For context, this is not the same technique that was used to create the AI-generated Pokemon a couple months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/rgmyxp/i_trained_a...

That used a finetuned ruDALL-E which is not based on a GAN architecture and is much, much slower than a GAN, albeit the generated Pokemon are more coherent. You can play with it (with no queue) on your own Colab Notebook here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1A3t2gQofQGeXo5z1BAr...
Were you ever a fan of the blackberry form-factor? You may enjoy the Unihertz Titan Pocket.

It’s still a smartphone in that it runs a flavor of Android.

But they nailed the tactile keys I remember missing and still miss about phones with physical keyboards.

Not my daily driver, just something I had been following since the kickstarter and ordered one to fiddle about with. I ended up turning it into my “work phone/pagerduty device”. For that particular purpose, it works very well. YMMV

Yep, have to agree completely.

Support around the XPS is lacking when there is a hardware defect. I've even pointed out one with the bios which Dell wouldn't acknowledge or fix as my 9360 was way out of warranty by the time I'd identified it. (Random lockups on wake caused by bad i2c behaviour from trackpad, fix disable i2c and "fallback" to spi)...

Ended up with 3 motherboards though as my employer has a good warranty agreement. Shame they all suffered from coil whine and the 2nd engineer sliced a cable with a screwdriver. I genuinely could have done better myself, ended up fixing the coil wine with non conductive hot snott..

Great work Dell...
Probably they decided to ditch their native app for a cross-platform web based resource hog.
Depending on just how simple it needs to be, I'd reach for Sinatra, or Plug, even, actually plug is arguably better since you can easily scale to Phoenix.
Yes you can, worldwide with a Visa, MasterCard or Amex. Most of these card networks have consumer-friendly rules that merchants have to abide by if they want to process payments.

Each country can have its own laws on top of that (such as Section 75 protection in the UK for credit cards only) but the basic dispute scheme is managed by the card networks.
Not really, because if you just hook into bitcoin as your foundational layer, it's much harder to premine and then pump and dump your new cryptocurrency on the uninformed masses and become a billionaire off a whitepaper and a github prototype.

Also, more legit projects actually DO use bitcoin as it's base layer. See Microsoft's ION project, the bitcoin lighting network (just rolled out in CashApp), and the upcoming RGB protocol.
> you had to set up your website or blog page, which was a fairly technical endeavor for some time.

usenet and web forums have existed for a very long time before blogs. It didn't take much to spam newsgroups or online bulletin pages.
I decided to give HP another try back in 2016. I bought a Chromebook that promised Android support. As of 2022, it's still listed as "Planned".[1] It only lasted a couple years before the display completely quit working, so the Android thing was not the biggest problem.

I would not have bought it without the assurance that I'd be able to run Android apps. Never a word from HP about the issue (and obviously no attempt to make the situation right after they lied). I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide if you should give them your money.

I would suggest CC0 for both images and database - crediting authors of images and so on seems hassle that noone would do anyway, would impact just people strongly caring about copyright.

If less permissive license is preferred and you want attribution requirements etc - then CC-BY-SA on some specific version for images? And ODBL for database?

Note that you need explicit agreement from contributors to have things on specific license, so it is a good idea to resolve licensing quickly.

Warning: I am not a lawyer
You don't know what you're talking about in terms of negative impact these illegal blockades of the borders have on the economy.
Looks like they just start on Sunday, which is a different colour.
In this case, it's more like telling people that a particular Toyota was built by BMW.

It might not seem relevant on the surface, but the underlying technical differences could pose an issue for certain user cases, thus it's an important consideration. Not all Firefox addons work with the iOS version just like not every Toyota dealership carries parts for a Zupr4.
> Ottawa has a population of 1 million and their downtown area will always have honking. Like you know... every other downtown area of a large capital city. Calling this 'medically unsafe' is quite a stretch. Our homes are quite insulated here in Canada given the cold. The same insulation reduces road noise a lot. If you cant sleep because of road noise downtown... move because that happens year round.

I've had honking in Downtown Vancouver from a group supporting the convoy and it certainly does not resemble the usual city noise. If it was horrible for the couple hours I experienced then it must have been hell for those Ottawa citizens when it went on for days.
I've had mostly good experiences with dell's XPS 13 laptops. Coil whine has been a problem.

Dell is the only company I know of that really stands behind their products. The default(at least here) warranty includes next business day on-site repair.

The times I've had issues during the last 15+ years Dell has sent someone to fix it, fast. Nobody else seems to be willing to do that if their product fails. Must be really expensive for Dell when something goes wrong.

They do however stop producing/selling batteries much earlier than they should...
I believe the reset thing is due to it being a good way to solve user problems that have accumulated over time.

It seemed a bigger thing a few years ago, but if you keep seeing it, then they've probably identified you as someone likely to benfit from it. I don't think I've seen it for years.

This is just speculation though.

I just get an update "what's new" tab after every update, which seems reasonable if you are adding or removing things.
Spotify had a first mover advantage and is now using network effects of playlists and recommendation to keep their market share.
If anything it's a testament to the power of Apple and Amazon that they were able to gain significant marketshare.

Trying to directly compete with Apple and Google in the mobile OS market would be like trying to compete with Boing/Airbus or TSMC/Samsung, in that the capital requirements are so astronomical without extreme forms of subsidies and protectionism.
So, iOS is supposed to start supporting alternative payment providers, so that apps can start using them without those apps seeing any update, but only for dating apps, and only in the Netherlands?

Would it have to work if a user installs multiple dating apps, and picks different payment providers for each of them, changes them a few times a month, etc?

How would users configure payment providers (presumably in iOS settings, as the apps can’t be changed)?

I don’t see how iOS could come preloaded with every payment provider on the planet (if only because new ones can pop up every minute), so should it download and run code that processes the user’s money, or would Apple be allowed to restrict what payment providers can do so that iOS can configure them based on a few items (say an icon, a descriptive text, a background image, and some info on how to make a payment)?

I can see solutions here, but not ones that can be implemented in a few weeks time. Implementing such a feature takes time, even if you can throw money at it.
For Bitcoin maxis PoW is the creed.
Maybe preference was the wrong word for me to use. “Reasoning” might make more sense?

If comments don’t impact the code base or the people involved, then yeah they’re not useful.
