I can't understand why California politicians aspire to spread their ideas nationally. There is so much grift and lack of results.
Whoa, how did you track?
Not exactly. The trigger would get less effective with over-use. But yes, if it did work, other dictators might copy that strategy. That's why I'm asking.
This is something of a modern myth — me and my ancestors have been using olive oil for all forms of cooking for centuries. It does fine in high heat applications, you just need to vent off the smoke. Flavor isn’t affected in any noticeable way. There’s some YouTube videos with more science behind the “low smoke” oils and the myths of their being bad for cooking at high heats.
I'm a huge fan of tags (as I promulgated the idea in the first place in the early 2000s) but they have a bunch of problems.

They're better understood as a memory extension system rather than a sole filing system. The idea being that it improves recall of objects if you add some attributes when saving as you are likely to use some of the same attributes when recalling.

But the vast majority of objects on a filesystem are mechanically generated and never touched by the human using it (assuming a sole user.)

The model gets much more complicated when many users are interacting with the same system.

As noted elsewhere, the flat namespace gets cluttered very quickly. I do think that there is use for a hierarchical separator since many times objects are fully inside some other concept. And when looking at massive userbases creating tags for memory, there is a distinct ordering of generic to specific when creating tags in order.

Also, filesystems also allow a bunch of workflow that aren't completely obvious under tagging. For example, a business might copy their template folder and rename it for a new customer, and inside it it has a bunch of documents with the same names. I think this a bit like having a bunch of objects (in the programming sense) thus creating things that all have the same method names (except now they are files, for example)
Not having a cable modem also comes to mind. After that, personal webspace gets easy to find.

Do you have any evidence of that?

> Spending $837,000 to build a single studio to house a single homeless person seems insane to most of the country.

That's not what is happening, in any meaningful way.
Thanks, that's useful information that I haven't seen anywhere else.
FYI, VIA (or whatever it was renamed to) just got acquired by Intel a few months back. I'm long AMD, but I also agree with the analysis that hold INTC a strong buy right now.
Sometimes, a little CSS and JS go a long way to help the users achieve their goals. Spartan websites can be hard to read.

My own website uses more and more JavaScript, but it supports the main content. For example, a glossary bubble for German words, a table of content that highlights the current section, and calculators give you quicker answers.

A few of the websites listed there might be lightweight, but many seem to offer a poor user experience, even for just text on a page.

In my opinion, the best example of a lightweight website is the NHS. Yes, the page is lightweight, but the effort extends to the design and even the text on the page.
Well they seem to have done quite well with that one. It's a shame it doesn't float or we could tow it a bit further south.
Wow - what a great find! Everyone should know of this - thanks!
> The Chinese government has been incredible for the Chinese people

By what metric?
Yeah, I tend to use avocado oil when it's available or refined high-heat olive oil when it's not. The heavy processing of high heat olive oil is concerning but it does mean low linoleic acid.
Curious what's delusional about this?

Russian and Ukraine combined account for 29% of global wheat exports, much of that to the EU.

Near term climate change will most certainly lead to massive crop failures, particularly in currently bountiful parts of the EU.

Countries like the UK (I know not EU) already cannot feed their people without imports, something like 50% of the UKs food supply is imported.

It is nearly certain that within a few decades, perhaps even sooner, we will be at a point where there is not enough food. We've already see notable crop failures in the EU.

Most of us have grown up in a time of plenty, but that time is running short.

All of this is fairly well established, so is my "delusion" in that Putin is aware of this and acting on it?
Except it's not.

Biggest piece of the puzzle is there is no alternative. You are 100% forced to use the app store.

No one forces you to use steam. There is generally always another way to buy a PC game, and if a developer chose to put it only on steam.. well, then that's the developer's fault and not steam's fault (I get that steam is mostly a monopoly on PC, so that's not entirely fair to say, but still.. the developer can always just throw their game on GOG or itch.io etc easy enough).

So Apple's entire store is built upon forcing you to go put your product there, offering no alternatives, and then taking a large cut. Not to mention almost the entire mobile market is a hot piece of trash creating apps/games that are only there to suck up your money in microtransactions/ads or whatever. And Apple encourages that because they want the cut of all the bullshit money they pull out of people.

Steam doesn't do that. Sure you can find some little garbage people put on there, but that's few and far between and not the norm- I pretty much never see that on my daily use.

Steam still operates in a way that provides a great platform for people who love to make games and people who love to play games.

Any comparison to the mobile market of ios/android is entirely disengenious.
A couple of outages that have affected my client i learned about first on HN. We were able to mobilize a team and get on top of it faster than any monitoring team at the client ( a state government ). I feel like HN should invoice us haha
> I don't know why AMDGPU (the Linux driver) is somehow better than the Windows drivers

Open source Linux drivers are developed by another team inside AMD. They can't talk with the other driver team either. When you remove the incentive to add game specific hacks, multi platform support and other stuff, and add community support at the back, you get a straightforward and superior driver at the end.

Also, the driver wasn't forked or derived from FGLRX or any driver for that matter. It's just written from scratch. I remember OpenSuSE had a dedicated AMDGPU driver team too.

This is why.
This observation could easily be explained by brand loyalty and other market forces.

Why did Intel sell more of its objectively inferior 10th and 11th gen chips than AMD Zen 2? Because they have more brand loyalty, partnerships, sales channels, etc.

Sales volume != product quality

On top of that, it's easy to imagine two different cards from fabricated by two different factories having much different levels of supply constraints. If Tesla runs out of chips but Toyota doesn't, the lack of Teslas can't on its own imply that Toyota is a making an inferior product.
> They have clear political motivation to continue to build nuclear power plants.

If realizing what a terrible bet solar and wind are is political, then yes I agree their motivation is political.
That's good to hear! The best possible endgame is if all the people who oppose the mandate got the vaccine and just oppose the mandate on principle.

I've heard from other offices that tried to go that route, have a decent percentage of people who declined vaccination, and are now having these problems.
> $837,000

That's not what is happening. Per the article:

14% of the units build exceeded $700,000 each, and one project in pre-development is estimated to cost almost $837,000 per unit.
Oh, I updated my comment for someone else's brief reply then you popped up with the full rundown. Thanks!

The detail about forcing genetic mutation is neat, will have to read up on that.
A little CSS and JS isn't the problem - a lot of it, or JS that performs excessive calculations is!
EU outage towards the end of last year was similarly bad, but lasted much longer. Asked Heroku for at least a refund for the dyno time when our apps were unavailable and was flatly told no.
I think it is more likely you came to that conclusion because you don’t agree with their opinions, a common mistake people make. Without good self-awareness we will assume people who don’t think like us are somehow dumb or irrational. Look no further than say, an opposing political party, and I bet you’d write off most of its members as blithering idiots.

Personally, I find the HN crowd to be very logical and intelligent on most issues, though there are some pockets of ignorance and SJWs. However, much of that ignorance is fueled by external motivations and misguided desires.
Apparently the power plant was captured by russian forces,

That is definitely not a universal truth. Anyone who has rented out a house knows just how expensive a bad tenant is.

I have had a few friends who were in that position because they had to move but couldnt sell their houses (2008-2014 era roughly). They would have been better off taking the loss on leaving it empty after taking out loans to undo the damage done.
It goes further than warnings though - at least circa 2012 using an unofficial charger (or official charger where this fragile extra wire is broken) would underclock the cpu dramatically. It happened silently, such that I didn’t realize what was happening and why my laptop was so
slow until stumbling upon a random forum post about it. I was pretty sour on Dell after that experience.
"Capitulated" seems a strong term - the emergency was dealt with and the convoys were dispersed so the act was revoked.
Ketamine and 3-HO-PCP are dissociatives.

Dissociatives (e.g., ketamine, nitrous oxide, xenon, phencyclidine, dextromethorphan in cough syrup) are too addictive, too pleasurable, and reliably produce long-lasting delusional states (e.g., as observed in John C. Lilly and Marcia Moore and Tony Hsieh).

It is disturbing to read Marcia Moore's "Journeys Into the Bright World" (http://pdf.textfiles.com/books/journeysbrightworld.pdf) where she recounts that John C. Lilly warned her to stop using ketamine. She died in the woods not long afterward, hypothermia after injecting ketamine, trying to hide her addiction from her family. John C. Lilly himself went clean after decades of delusion, but never fully recovered, mentally.

For a frank summary of the dangers, see D. M. Turner's "The Essential Psychedelic Guide". Before he died in his bathtub (after injecting ketamine), he wrote the following (https://www.ketamine.co.uk/dmturner/index.html):

"A major concern regarding safe use of Ketamine is its very high potential for psychological addiction. A fairly large percentage of those who try Ketamine will consume it non-stop until their supply is exhausted. I've seen this in friends I've known for many years who are regular psychedelic users and have never before had problems controlling their drug consumption. And I've seen the lives of several people who developed an addiction to Ketamine take downward turns."

"After about two years of once-per-week Ketamine use I even found that I had developed an addiction. Although it was less severe than what I've described above, it took considerable effort to break the cycle of repeatedly using it, even though I was aware of detrimental effects that it was causing. Since that time I've used Ketamine only occasionally, but find that I must continually exercise a high degree of will power to prevent myself from falling into a pattern of regular use. Amongst those I know who use Ketamine, I've seen very few who can use it in a balanced manner if they have access to it."

So, all the dissociative psychedelics (NMDA receptor antagonists) seem to be bad. They should be avoided.

On the other hand, there are other classes of psychedelics that are unambiguously good: tryptamines (e.g., psilocybin) and phenethylamines (e.g., mescaline). These drugs produce informative, useful, introspective, challenging mental states and are NOT prone to abuse. These are the valuable psychedelics.
Someone with particular accessibility needs might not be using a popular desktop browser - they'll already be using a user-agent which is adapted to their own needs.

If you use native input elements, then whatever accessibility needs a user might have can be accommodated by a user-agent which caters to those needs. And you get that to take advantage of that for free.

If you roll your own, you can't cater to people with disabilities that you haven't considered.
>>>the only thing Putin has to fear from NATO ABM systems, and NATO membership for Ukraine in general, is an end to their ability to conquer Eastern Europe militarily.

Around 9/11, the Russians were focused on Chechen insurgents and terrorists, and our relations with them thawed significantly: https://carnegieendowment.org/2001/10/24/u.s.-russia-relatio...

Later in the 2000s, Russia discussed NATO and EU membership but had generally been rebuffed. Still, they tried to maintain dialogue with NATO, even after slapping down Georgia: https://euobserver.com/news/27890. I think they considered their point made about keeping NATO in check, but we didn't get the message.

For about 15 years, Putin ran Russia without even possessing the capability for a major nation-state offensive in Europe. That changed with the reformation of the 1st Guards Tank Army, stationed west of Moscow, in 2014. The question so few people are investigating is "What are the things WE ("the West", generally speaking) have done to trigger the changes in Russian foreign policy? This is the introspection that I find deeply lacking. Everyone just chalks it up to "clearly he's a megalomaniacal madman! Nothing else needs be said!"
On a related note: What is the best way to browse the modern web on a resource limited computer like a netbook with 2GB of memory?

Google, Apple, Microsoft, et al, keep trying to convince us to stop using their services.
I think you're talking about this in pretty black/white terms and the partisan framing doesn't do much. Prop 13 is a double edged sword IMO.

It does have the problem you describe of landed gentry not getting hit with high property taxes, but also it does protect middle class people from getting kicked out of their homes due to the popularity of the area they live in. My parents are the perfect example of this, my dad is a plumber and my mom is a teacher, my entire life they barely broke 100k combined and were BARELY able to give me and my sibling a decent life in LA. If their property taxes had risen with the rate of the area that they bought a house in as we grew up, we would have been unable to continue living there and forced to leave. The same thing goes with my grandparents.

California has very high income tax, which arguably compensates for the low property taxes. This strikes me as more fair, as the high earners are the ones hit with the tax bills rather than my grandma, who made nothing and had no way to pay the tax that comes with a $2M property valuation, despite having worked hard to buy her house when she was younger.

So yeah, you're right in some sense, but its not fair to completely ignore the alternative of lower/middle class people being kicked out of their homes if they didn't have prop 13. The real problem here is the NIMBYism that you describe and restrictive zoning.

ALSO, the landed gentry are sort of limited as well. Yes their primary home (the one they live in) has a limited tax bill, but additional homes they own, they will probably end up renting out, and that rental income will be subject to California's high income tax.
> In Firefox, if I use tab I can select my native <select> and it gets focus styling - not so with Adobe Spectrum React's equivalent control. Once I have focus, I can start typing to select items without opening the dropdown list. Typing whilst I've tabbed on to the React control does nothing. With the native control I can hit space to open up the menu and view the items once I have focus. With the React control, hitting space does nothing.

I just tried the link (in Firefox) and all of these work correctly.

> I also looked at elements like the switch and checkboxes. With native components I can click in the empty space before a form control and be confident that the next <Tab> press I perform will focus the control for me. This behaviour doesn't work with Adobe Spectrum React's equivalent control's - I end up tabbing straight over the components altogether.

What do you mean, "click in the empty space before a form control"?
This is a response from someone who tries really hard to not understand the point. OP said corporations are * a few steps away * from dictatorships, they did not confuse the two. If you don't understand that a few steps away does not imply it's the same thing, you need to reflect on your skils as a reader.
Many of us have contractors/employees in the Ukraine - how can we help?
Hi hive, I am thinking many of us including me, have former or current engineers/assistants/other helping our companies in the Ukraine. How can we help them? Are there any ongoing efforts? Should we start something together? If you're in the tech community in Ukraine, how can we help you?
> Doesn't that get past all the big systemic cost problems?

You would think so! Unfortunately, this is not the case. In SF, some of the systemic issues are planning processes voted into the city charter decades ago, so the city doesn't get to bypass them. Some of the larger issues, such as land price and CEQA, are state-wide issues that cities can't avoid.
All those sites have content, which require elaborate, interactive, collaborative editing and reasonably complex, flexible data models. Meaning you’re going to want to re-use much of the work you did for the editing/publishing part and you want those things to be integrated to such a degree that changing and extending things is reasonably ergonomic.
There is no scientific evidence that olive oil breaks down into toxic components.

We're saying the same thing here. The path of "for all the wrong reasons" is still part of your path is my point. The awareness of "why" you did it is similar to the story being hinted at with the graphic of "Emperor Has No Clothes" which represents someone who is brave enough to speak or ignore the mimetic desire will ultimately find clarity on their path earlier than others who only know to imitate in fear of not fitting in.
God. And it was Democrats who pushed for it too IIRC.

Corruption deep on both sides of the aisle.
How about a date range, search fields with dynamic autocomplete, rich content dropdown selects, combined multi selects, etc etc?

As I said in my original comment; I agree that where possible normal input elements are preferred, but they do not cover all cases. I guess it depends on what you consider custom, most of those use html form elements underneath, but they definitely require implementing the intricate details as described in the article.

I also don't think it's correct to say accessibility and usability come for free as long as you use plain html elements. You can build really horrible unusable forms with plain html elements, I've seen plenty (and I've probably build a few myself in the past haha).

My point is; "don't use X" and "don't do Y" posts are not helpful as they do not convey the point that both usability and accessibility require effort and consideration, and give a false sense of "if you don't do this all will be great" which is not the case.
Even if this works, it's just an experiment and we will need decades more to make it practical.
Ugh, Slack too. For ages they didn't have right-click menus anywhere. Then a while ago, they added right-click menus to channels, but of course they couldn't just use the native menus that every OS already has, so it's some HTML abomination that had to rewrite the wheel for handling things like lenient mouse movement (e.g. https://css-tricks.com/dropdown-menus-with-more-forgiving-mo...). Still doesn't support type-to-select, or god knows how many other accessibility and power user niceties.
You should just use bootstrap or zurb to avoid re-engineering mobile responsiveness
Why would free markets help homeless people? Is there any basis for this, other than claiming that one's favorite solution is the best? Free markets serve those who pay the most, which is good for allocating iPhones, but not for healthcare, basic housing, basic food, education, safety, etc., which should not depend on ability to pay.

> It's the same thing that happens in social media, trolls and bots pollute the information so it's impossible for most people to tell the truth apart from fiction.

Isn't that 'real free market', unregulated?
There is always a reason but there isn't always an endgame. Political leaders are often just trying to keep their head above the water and they assume things will work to their advantage until they don't at which point they aren't in charge anymore.

What was Andropov endgame in invading Afghanistan. If you read the planning strategy sessions that lead to Afghanistan, it is clear there was no endgame. First it was Afghanistan is not strategically important let it fall. Then it was Afghanistan appears to be important to the US so we should involved. Then finally Afghanistan is strategically critical the Soviet union must invade and do anything it takes to ensure they remain pro-Soviet.

What was the US endgame in Afghanistan after Al Qaeda was defeated? What was Bernie Madoff's or Pol Pot's endgame?
It is the homeless industrial complex. A massive grift.

How does AMP save bandwidth? Last I checked you needed to add a huge amount of code (more than all html/css/js resources on my lightweight site combined) hosted on another domain (extra dns lookup, extra tcp connection, extra tls handshake, extra http request) to use it at all. And that's where I stopped looking because I'm not going to have google track my visitors across every single page on my site - no thank you.
