Send me an email[1] and I can send you a beta copy to try out. IMO the picture doesn't do the justice (it is not like the way you describe it at all), but I am seriously considering creating a specific license for a trial + font cut that is missing a few glyphs.

The problem is that over 50% of Russian people stand behind Putin. They get their news and political views from watching state-run TV.
Except the industry is stuck in 1995.

You want to pay $50/yr [1] for twenty different news websites? All I want to do is read one article.

It needs a Spotify / Netflix model. Or the promise of micropayments that never happened. (Yeah, I'll pay 10 cents for an article. And also learn to distrust your site if you shill clickbait.)

I still disagree and I still hold them responsible for their violent actions.

We're in agreement there. I didn't say we should drop all policing related to violent political protest. I said we need to realize increased policing isn't a solution to violent political protest.

WRT Jan 6, the root cause is complicated (understatement of the year). But, stagnating wages, continued urbanization and globalization, and an out of touch political class all contribute. Those things (plus others) need fixed or we'll get a repeat of Jan 6 next election cycle.
He is wrong, eastern Europe countries joined NATO because they were scared of Russia, and they were right, Russia has a long history of invasions.
Sure, but on most sites you cannot buy single articles but rather a monthly subscription.
> We should be pivoting out of Europe to deal with China in a laser-like fashion, number one. And, number two, we should be working overtime to create friendly relations with the Russians. The Russians are part of our balancing coalition against China. If you live in a world where there are three great powers—China, Russia, and the United States—and one of those great powers, China, is a peer competitor, what you want to do if you’re the United States is have Russia on your side of the ledger. Instead, what we have done with our foolish policies in Eastern Europe is drive the Russians into the arms of the Chinese. This is a violation of Balance of Power Politics 101.

This is the part that confuses me about recent American foreign policy. This line of reasoning seems so blatantly clear that I don't understand why we have consistently adopted such hawkish policies against Russia. We have allies that do stuff that is at least as sketchy, morally and legally, as what we accuse Russia of doing, so why have we made Russia an enemy?
Additionally, `go build` fails when there's a major version mismatch and the error is obtuse, contains no good info on what the user should do

I agree in principle, but I struggle to see what business model can allow newspapers to survive in the digital era.
After the arguable win in the Cold War, the winning party has failed to offer the better peace to Russia.

Just compare the fate of Japan in 1944 vs. 1954 and Russia in 1989 vs. Russia in 1999. It has caused an enormous traumatic syndrome in the russian society.
That is still actually different from what Mearsheimer is claiming - that happened much earlier than NATO expansion and recent changes in Ukraine.
Off topic: any updates on the development Notion communicated 3 years ago about creating Page Level Defaults?

It sure would be nice if I could make all pages "small text" and "full width".
A good chunk of those 2/3rds speak English and can wield Latin script (and if not, they should).

Latin script has eaten the world; suggesting Cyrillic for any new language is lunacy.

The number of languages using Cyrillic is vastly smaller than Latin script, and are geographically clustered in areas that belonged to the Soviet Union.

I'm not sure it crosses the line. Most of these websites have the text in the HTML, but hidden to the user. This is so Google can index and send traffic based on search. If the HTML is sent to the client, accessing it is not piracy.

More akin to breaking DRM. If you didn't want me to read your article, don't send it at all. It's in your response ? Tough luck.
I feel like I'm getting old. The youth ethos of "information should be free!" has been replaced with the reaction "gee, I really hope great journalism can make money, otherwise we won't have any".
Interesting bet. I don't really know much about self driving car technology. That being said, there are construction zones I've driven through where they didn't really cover the old paint lines, such that its a tossup which lane people choose. There are busy roads I've driven through with the painted lines faded out of existence, on an S-bend curve that simultaneously adds more lanes that still captures people by surprise even after it was repainted. Or the NYC free for all where the all the cars drive together like a school of fish, avoiding all the obstacles jutting into the road, yet not quite block the lane. And snow == anarchy.

Is there any indication self driving cars can handle these scenarios?
There is so much wrong with your statement. First, Gen Z doesn’t care nearly as much as previous generations about driving and what vehicles mean for status. Expect that trend to continue especially when ownership goes away.

And as far as “doubling trips”, the car won’t have to drive far to find its next pickup and it may not have to do empty pickups at all with the equivalent of Lyft Line.

If we don’t need parking lots and spaces we can use that real estate for more mass transit.
Ahh got it, that’s a great argument. Brb, “downloading a car” for educational purposes.
Agreed, but I don't know many newspapers that sell individual articles. And I certainly don't want yet another subscription.
There is a difference between benchmark apps being meaningless and cheating in benchmark apps.

For example one HN user told a story of a magazine who benchmarked different compilers including this user's. This user's compiler recognized the benchmark code was dead code and just eliminated it where other compilers didn't. This magazine called him out for cheating and it hurt sales for his compiler. He didn't mean to cheat the benchmark. It's just that the benchmark being used in an outdated methodology for evaluating performance.
The problem is, what do you do when people really really want to change geopolitical circumstances and jump over to the other alliance? Refuse their company and tell them to GTFO to abusive neighbour they're tired of? And then watch on 24/7 news channel how is it going?
That's true if the solution is a product, not a sum.
Looks like this has site-specific rules for setting referrer, clearing cookies, blocking external scripts, and removing modals.

And the add-on embeds Google Analytics.

I wonder if some of those ad-hoc setTimeout(removeModal, 500) could be made more robust by looking for modals with MutationObserver. That way you can remove things the second they activate instead of letting them flash / hoping they exist once your timeout fires.
People don't like ads.

Doctors are the highest paid profession in the United States because they have a legal monopoly on the practice of surgery and prescription of medicine. Because their income flows from this monopoly, they over value medical treatments that use prescription drugs and under value treatments that do not, such as diet and exercise. The latest example is the reluctance of the medical community to say the Vitamin D reduces the risk from contracting Covid-19, even though there is strong evidence to show this. Since this is so, your doctor is likely to not tell you the full story of the risks versus the benefits of the drugs you are prescribed and you would do well to research the question on your own, especially if it is a drug you will take for a chronic disease.
In all of the use cases where I have seen mushroom packaging being called for, a traditional green packaging could have been used instead. Recycled paper is a very versatile material and is very easy to work with.

A wide variety of packaging can be made from cardboard & cardstock with a simple steel rule die. If custom shapes are needed, then compressed fiber like fast-food drink trays are an option. There are starch-based packing peanuts that can replace polystyrene peanuts. There's a lot more room for innovation beyond what we already have too, I think Amazon's paper mailers are a good example.
I'm no web dev at all, but it seems to me like a tiny amount of Javascript might prevent that by graying out the Post button if the text is too long.
It's a document interchange format, and the code that persists it does not have feelings.

Use it to write out (externalize) the model structure of your document to persistent storage.

The structure reflected in the XML form of a document could either be hidden below a near-WYSIWYG GUI layer, or it may be more exposed in an XML editor: XML editors let you edit XML in a way that "normal" text editors don't (e.g. show markup and text directly together while still protecting mark-up tags instead of treating them as character-wise editable text).

Putin asked Bill Clinton about this in 2000; was rebuffed.
Do you know about what Victoria Nuland (leaked intercepted tapes), Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsay Graham, Hunter Biden, CIA John Brennan, etc. did in Ukraine?

Do you know that Zelenskyy had a sub-28% approval rating from his own population because he threatened to acquire nuclear weapons, threatened to join NATO, join the EU (comes with military connections also, BTW), take back Crimea and the entirety of the Donbas, etc.? His population mostly wanted Austria-style neutrality but he was being strung along by the US because we wanted to turn it into a battering ram against Russia.

The security and integrity of data shouldn't rely on itself to prove such.. imagine trying to store a checksum within the data it represents for instance.

JSON parsing is hard enough, don't make it harder.

> Why do creators of schema make them so strict? Isn't the whole thing about making life of users (or devs in the case) easier? What purpose does such fussy specifications achieve?

No, the purpose is correctness. It prevents you from writing malformed structures, allows machines to automatically check for correctness, and downstream programs to make assumptions about its correctness without errors.

JSON is machine readable first, human readable second, machine writeable third, and human writeable last. It makes sense not to prioritize writing it by hand.

Most of the time if you are writing JSON by hand, you've screwed something up.
The 95% way there (Tesla) is orders of magnitude easier than the 99% (Cruise).

Hell, I can understand a lot of this with English alone.
Lot of different tricks. One example: just by using a Google Bot user agent some websites will let you access the full content. Sometimes working with some cookies, blocking some particular 3rd party JavaScript libs, some other are more complicated.

> And the moral aspect isn't worth considering as history has shown that great powers usually act out of strategic interest not moral consideration

If you are trying to decide how to exert influence on how your country should react, rather than being a passive observer, the moral aspect is worth considering.

If you are merely a passive observer, you aren't worth considering.
Amen. Good news is expensive. It takes a lots a lot of resources and trained professional's hours to make a well researched story. High quality investigative news outfits have real, positive impact on society. They root out corruption and help bring injustices to light.

I figure most people on this site can afford to subscribe to a news source or two and probably should.
If you look at the Burgevouns comparison Berkley mono is the least good. It's compared to non-mono fonts which, naturally, have better kerning. Having three different representations of the number 0 including one that is indistinguishable from upper case o makes this a no-no for coding from my point of view.

All of his videos that I've seen have a weird thing where he challenges people to explain something, and then he reveals he was talking about something else and their explanation isn't relevant. This is just https://xkcd.com/169/

His videos don't strike me as intending to educate. They strike me as intending to show how much more clever he is than you - and it's entirely that he came up with some weird gotcha that people logically assume he couldn't be talking about because it's nonsense.

It's like watching a smug teenager who never grew out of it. No thanks, I don't need that reminder of how grating I was.

Who does? Parallax requires the cameras to be very carefully angled (toed-in), so they overlap in a very specific way, it isn't simply two cameras recording the same image straight.

Most automated vehicles companies using visible light cameras have them pointed straight forward, that isn't therefore using parallax like a human does.
Do people generally feel like digital goods should be free? Seems like people are always trying to rationalize bypassing paywalls, pirating games and using emulators, torrenting movies, etc.

Perusing this file here - https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/blob/ma...

It removes the popup elements that cover the page and other little tricks.

The common key thing across all of them, though - the server is sending the content, and then a little JS payload that creates the popup asking you to pay.

It's not a particularly good way of protecting the content of the article, for obvious reasons.

How am I supposed to know beforehand if an article is worth reading?

I ran into a lot of articles on HN which are behind a pay wall (I use this extension), but were not deeply interesting, therefore I left after one or two paragraphs. I can't imagine how much money I would've spent on nothing if I'd pay for every article I click on.

Also, I believe the news outlets have a similar problem like video stream providers: too much fragmentation.
When I'm forced to subscribe to prime for a specific movie, then to netflix for another movie, then to disney for ANOTHER movie, I'll eventually end up just pirating them all.

No, you're right, this is a failing of the whole world, or at least all those that hold any power in it. The answer here is to adapt and mitigate these sorts of outcomes in the future by dropping our current 'us vs them' ideology and replace it with one that looks out for the interests of everyone, understanding that our needs as humans for security and stability are largely universal, and our self-interests need to be tempered.

Because people in central-eastern europe keep making noise about Russia's actions. Can't they just shut up and let Russia take advantage of them?
Yes, This is why we need prison reform to improve rehabilitation.

I don't see how this parallel judicial system of "care courts" will be able to do anything that the existing judicial courts cant.

Either approach will require rehabilitation centers that work, and the existing courts could send someone there just as easily as this new court.
Ask HN: Does Waze “Arrive at” work for you in Firefox?
I noticed that, after choosing the endpoints of a trip, if I try to choose an arrival time in Firefox, the page blanks out except for a loading animation in the center.

If I do the same in Chrome, it looks like it's working.

Can you reproduce this? Is it an example of Google's anti-competitive practices, since they own the browser and Waze as well?
>The Liberty Ships, on the other hand, would be welded. Not only could welding be done faster, but unskilled workers could be trained to do it far quicker than they could be trained to rivet - it took just 10 days to train a welder

I'm very skeptical that it took more than 10 days to train someone to rivet. Riveting is very simple and I seem to recall I taught myself how to rivet with a cheap Harbor Freight blind rivet gun in a matter of minutes. I've shown several non-technical people rivet guns as well and they've been able to use them easily. Drill hole, put rivet in hole, squeeze. That said, ships did not use blind rivets, they used a two-person rivet setup where one person would put in the rivet and the other would hammer it on the other side, but that would still be far easier than welding to teach - it certainly would not require 10 full training days like welding apparently did!

I suspect that riveting was just slower per steel joined per person-hour (much due to the use of 2 people instead of 1), in addition to the excess material used by overlap required by riveting. Training time wouldn't even matter much - if one process took 10 days longer but was 10% faster, then it would pay off over about a half a year of work. I have no figures for how much faster either was in use or training time.

That said, I imagine the steel saved (in both rivets as well as overlap) was probably the main component. Apparently the HMS Ark Royal, a British aircraft carrier during WW2, saved 500 tons of its total 22,000 tons by using welding, so about 2.2%. A Liberty ship is about 10,000 tons, so you'd save about 220 tons by welding. The USGS's data puts a 100 lb hot rolled steel bar at $2.15 in 1944, so very very roughly that's $43/ton or $10,000 per ship saved. A Liberty ship took 592,000 man-hours to build, at $0.30/hr (1944 minimum wage) that's $178k; so the steel reduction could pay for an extra 6% more hours, even if welding was slower, which is significant if you're churning these things out.

> makes your smooth 24 bit procedurally generated gradients look like they've been error-diffusion dithered to an 8 bit web safe color palette

Do you mean the gradient's output should look like it's been put through a risograph printer? I created a CodePen demo a while back which attempts to recreate that sort of effect - https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/RwgwpyG

When it comes to reducing a palette from (potentially) millions of colors down to a set of 8 bit web safe colors - I'm not convinced such a process can generate decent output for a wide range of different inputs. I get much better results by generating a "commonest colors" palette with a minimal distance (in LAB color space) between each selected color to generate the most pleasing dithered output, whereas restricting the palette to web-safe colors limits the output to just a handful of those commonest colors. See an interactive example of the filter here: https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/demo/filters-027.html

One person doing all the work and needs of a project does happen, but its rare. I would just be cheaper to hire someone full time, so this usually happens in specialty software where its hard to keep hiring head count to do it.

Except that it happens all the time. its fairly prevalent.

> Maybe you could do it for prototypes, but do any companies really need a "constant prototype"

Absolutely.
How long have we had commercially available voice recognition for? And why does it still not work ~25% of the time? I'm with codinghorror on this, there's so much interpretation that needs to be done of other drivers that I don't see how this will work.
