What do you know about Popper and the environment he had been in when he wrote this idea?

Let's not forget: Popper wrote this in 1945 directly after the Nazis lost the war – he, like many post-war German thinkers spent a lot of energy on pondering how a new democracy must be designed in order to never allow this quick takeover of democracy never again.

I am currently living in Germany and I grew up in Austria where Popper lived. There is a lot to argue about in these nations, but we have actual choice in our votes (compared to democracies whose models pre-date Popper's thoughts, like UK or the US). I am not very worried about the stability of modern democracies that looked at what happened in the Weimar republic, understood that such a thing could also happen to their democracies and reformed their systems in order to become resilient against such threats.

The US (and the UK for that matter) are not such resilient democracies, and this worries me, just like it would have worried Popper.
The oval shape and the irregularity it gives to the label makes it it a look a bit crazy.
On the opposite end, Common Lisp is actually pretty decent for bit twiddling. It has the operators from the PDP instruction set, LDB and DPB, which load and deposit bytes of varying length from and into other numbers.
It reminds me of a similar problem I face in Dutch (and still trip up if I'm not conscious):

In Dutch (my 4th language), "half nine" ("half negen") means 8:30. Whereas in English[1] "half nine" means 9:30.

So there were times when I missed appointments by an hour! After 7 years of being immersed in the language, I still have to deliberately engage my brain whenever someone says "half nine" (or whatever the hour) in Dutch to carefully translate it to the correct time.

[1] British and Irish English only? Others can correct me here.
This is why pharmaceutical sales representatives are so important. Most doctors are far too busy treating patients day to day to stay up on every new drug that comes out. CME can help cover some of this, especially with new procedures or treatments, but nothing can keep up with the 100 new drugs for diabetes. what really helps doctors is having people that can come talk to them, tell them that drug X is better than Y, give them the literature if they want it, tell them what insurance has a chance of covering it. Some doctors will always do what they know, but the majority just need to know there is a better option.

Exactly this. Exactly if the common protocol is SMS/MMS. So what if I can block people on one platform they can just now hop to another.
No particular resource, sorry. You should be able to dig up articles online however.
Yes, but if I remember correctly, one of the things FB internal document dump showed was that API for smaller and bigger players behaved differently. API access won't mean anything, if companies are allowed to pick and choose how it behaves against some IDs.
You’re severely overreacting. These features you so passionately hate are an important part of the reason why the general population is using the apps, and the business model of the large majority of chat apps is definitely not ‘spyware’.

What’s going to happen, if this ever goes through, is that the networks will open some kind of api so outsiders can send and be sent basic messages. And you will never be happy using it because you’ll always look like an outsider.

And there is no way to fix this because a big draw of these networks is that they keep adding new features and they are not in the old api so you can’t use them.

And of course it’s going to be a big source of spam so users will get the ability to block the outside from sending messages to them, which means you can’t reach half the people you want.

And then we keep Moxie as a slave forcing him to get motivated to implement all this? Or will the government cease control of the code? Stop Moxie from Forking, then tell people to stay on the government branch?

And the arguments hold for Meta too if you ask me. WhatsApp is not a public service. It was not build (or in this case bought later on) with our interests at the top of the priority list. If we want public services with the public's interest at heart, we have to build those services, or sponsor those. Not take them from companies. In this case we already have a nice solution in the from of Matrix.

What is not legitimate about wanting to defend your country and defend the principles and values that it lives by? Especially in the context of current world events.
You're right. It doesn't counter your point. I was thinking it colors it. A limit might discourage predators from taking advantage of artists, or it could intensify the situation into more of a zero-sum game that encourages more predation. It's certainly an interesting thought. I'd say, even without the limit, the default position is for creators to get taken. As an aside, I've had an essay brewing in my mind for years about the corollaries between the software VC environment, startups, bands, labels, and such. I think it's time I attempted to write it.
The part of it that raised my eyebrows the most back in school was the idea that formal education should only start at age 18, and students graduating at age 50.
> Joseph of Nazareth would like to have a word, too...

Joseph was going to "divorce her quietly"[1] until an angel intervened.[2] He was kind (was not going to cause her more trouble than necessary) but he also wasn't going to raise another man's child brought about by his almost-wife's (at the time, he thought) infidelity. I think many of us would also reconsider when directed to raise the scion of a deity by a literal angel.

Thank you for this Question! In Norway, where we have stabilized more than 2,5 mill sqm of road, this is the problem we solve the most. Our Lignin is very strong, and more dynamic than our competitors binders, which means it doesn't crack in freeze-thaw cycles like other binders can. And as we crush rocks and get an even mass to mix the lignin into, we get a very good road to handle such cycles. And the pothole-problems almost don't exist.
Good article BTW! Very useful :)
I can only expect the matter to be applied to large applications in some sense. Hopefully they learned a lesson or two from GDPR, and tangentially I don’t expect this roll out to happen anytime soon.

> I don't think I've ever thought "boy, I sure wish I took less photos back then". I have thought the opposite.

I have come to realize that the vacation itself is only part of the fun. Reminiscing about the vacation afterwards, and reliving those emotions, in the long run might be more relevant to my life than the trip itself.

Photographs help me capture a moment to remember it by. They also often portrait an idealized version of the event, perhaps highlighting the beautiful, and disregarding the troublesome. And frankly, that is as it should be.

> There is one exception. Whenever I fancied myself a photographer and took a zillion photos of motorsport races are a slog to get through.

For me, the solution is editing. Quite often I only "keep" a small handful of pictures of dozens or hundreds I took. ("keep" in quotes, as I backup everything. One time a relative died and one of my discarded pictures was the last one taken of them. I was glad I hadn't deleted that "bad" shot.)

And secondly, I keep a private blog and yearly photo books with the most memorable pictures, which acts as a second level of editing. It is a lot of work, actually, but we don't have any books we hold more dearly. And our friends and relatives love them, too.

Google and Facebook and Amazon, however, do not need to see my pictures, thank you very much.
Show HN: Managing HTTP Headers in Pipy
When applications are running behind using some sort of proxy, there is often a need to make the applications aware that they are running behind a proxy, and often there is a need to manage request and response headers in the proxy. Pipy is an open source network stream processor and it handles the lower-level details and provides an event driven interface to developers. Pipy decodes incoming network streams into streams of events and makes them available to developers. Pipy’s versatile nature allows it to be used in use cases like HTTP forward proxy, reverse proxy, socks proxy. In this article we will look at how to manage HTTP headers in Pipy and see how Pipy makes it easy to manage, modify, and add HTTP headers.

This. I am somewhat surprised allowlist isn't a thing. I get that there are times, you want to be open to the world ( say you are actually waiting for an interview call ), but this would easily solve a good portion of the issues. Am I missing something?
Like I really don’t know how to explain this any clearer.

* React stores the state for your hooks in a list which is iterable.

* useBlah is just a normal function that internally calls next() on that list to get the next hook state which is why order matters.

* React checks that the iteratior on the list is at the end to see if you’ve consumed all the hooks and throws an error if not because it’s indicative of a bug in your code.

Like at this point the only thing I can recommend is try writing a toy implementation of hooks and see that they’re not magic, they’re just normal JS, and that the restrictions flow naturally from the implementation.

Like why do you want so bad for hooks to be weird?
The author’s not wrong, he’s just an asshole.

People have different ways of communicating. I actually like getting to know my coworkers and appreciate a little fluff in my conversations. Heck, if you can make me laugh with a sassy story or a funny pun, you get brownie points and priority.

This author sounds like the type of asshole that says “I’m not here to make friends, I’m not here to be nice to you, I’m here to trade my time for money only, so go to hell.” AKA an entitled asshole.
That’s possible, but they don’t have a great track record.

> The design alone of that website looks like a fake news or "alternative" news website.

So this must mean that this story is untrue right?

> And in general ALL social media platforms are private companies they can ban whoever they want for what ever reason.

> Social Media companies are not your friend. They don't fight for your freedom. They don't have a soul or anything in that direction.

Correct. Private platforms can do private platform things like bots banning people instead of humans, removing apps off of platforms for any reason or none or de-platforming anyone they don't like even if the content is not on their platform. They can all do that and keep all your money. They are not your friends and they will never change.

However, is there strong evidence that this particular story is untrue, misinformation or simply outright 'fake news' only because of the strangeness source itself? Unless cross-referencing the sources from Twitter, Patreon and the screenshots are somehow also faked?

> The major browser vendors have pretty much delegated documenting how to develop against the browser platform to MDN.

Are you sure about that? To use your example, Microsoft was one of the companies behind the launch of WebPlatform.org and the push to make it the vendor-neutral repository of documentation for Web browser tech. It eventually folded out of recognition that developer.mozilla.org was the de facto place for Web developers.*

Assertion: "When the WebPlatform.org effort folded, folks from Microsoft and elsewhere began redirecting their contributions to land on MDN."

No only a small number exists but most are still 12h analog clock.

Anyway that is not really the problem, we just learn from being kids that 12 is only valid for noon otherwise it is implicitely 0 as the next one is 1 anyway. And, at least in my country, we rarely say 12 as we use our words to say midnight/noon.
Indeed, “o’clock” is what you say when you look at a clock face!

For more open societies, the people themselves can decide what is part of the social contract. Some places have made the collective choice that citizens being able to defend against external threats is a good thing. Not everyone has friendly neighbours.

It is no different than taxation (IMHO): through their representatives, people have chosen that each person shall given up a portion of their income for the collective good. Under your logic taxation would be theft. Some societies have decided that labour is part of what needs to be given up.

Honestly, that little kid is gonna be in for a hard time. I can't see a way they don't give him a prison sentence for this. Being 16 means he would be 17-18 when convicted and therefore going to a Young Offenders Institute - which are basically gladiator schools and with them saying in the news he has millions, the kids in the YOIs will harass him to try and get some of the money even if it was seized since they'll think there is still some lying around.

But nice to see the old homage of "You can spend millions on security but some teenager in a bedroom is still going to hack you." is still true.
Did they ever move on from the "we have two totally different perspectives" pitch? I listened to a couple of their early episodes, and they kept mentioning how different they were, which was very obviously not the case.

This is actually a great post about UX. Most sites like eBay or Expedia have location-specific versions that change dates and times among other things to the user’s format. It’s totally legit to expect that in 2022.

Great comment, accurate representation of the situation.
People will complain about the new subscription world but the concept has been around for decades. Ideally, I would like to upgrade my phone every year to the latest spec. Admittedly, I'm in the minority, and many people will see this as wasteful. Our phones are now the devices we spend the most time on. I can get ~30% of my work done on my phone. Even at $1000/year I can easily justify the cost relative to the value and productivity I get from the device.

I see a few advantages to using a subscription service:

- have the latest iPhone every year

- iCloud storage, Apple Arcade, Apple Music, etc are all bundled in

- Easy replacement if damaged or lost (Apple still has decent customer service)
Easy, on some clients/with some servers. These days they do it the same way as most other platforms, by uploading the media to a web server. It took the ecosystem a while to catch up to that though, and there are plenty of clients out there that still don’t support it.

I sincerely never thought I'd see Fisher on HN. His work is fantastic, tying together politics, pop culture, and philosophy into a cogent reading of our times.
