Again "I don't believe it because I'm missing context" is a perfectly legitimate way to engage with something that's missing context. You appear to have abandoned that point to instead emphasize that there is indeed sufficient context (so I guess having enough context does matter to you, after all.)

I don't know if you're confusing me for somebody else, but I didn't link to any tweets. And as I've now said twice, which has been ignored twice, the thread alludes to numerous unmade arguments about the reliability of the BBC, the UN, Le Monde, and a reporter as background to motivate the inference that their reporting is unreliable.

And it makes an assumption about what is proved or not proved by traditional vs simplified characters (different = Taiwan), and that underlying assumption isn't backed up with an argument, and there's no reason to agree with that assumption without further context. A reader is supposed to already agree that that's how it works or else go scrolling through twitter timelines and searches to find where that argument is made.

Perhaps when you ignore all of this in your reply, and remind me that it's "directly started talking about [sic]" traditional vs. simplified characters, I can repeat this all again and hope the fourth time is the charm?
A group of my friends and I maintain a (private) google doc of shows/games/books/movies/etc we have watched/read/etc with ratings and shorts reviews for the others.

Even without the review element its nice to keep track of what you have watched.

I spent a good while looking to see if there is/was any kind of open source self-hosted IMDB style thing
I could throw on AWS we could use instead of a goole doc but doesn't seem like there is anything. Anyone come across anything similar? My next step is to roll my own and maybe hook into a few APIs so we can get thumbs etc.
I Tried Apple’s Self-Repair Program with My iPhone. Disaster Ensued
He may also just be working the land of let's say Bill gates and not care much for it's longterm potential. I feel like a lot of us in this thread are just throwing guesses out there.
I think this captures my experiences perfectly.

Building something the right way usually means it runs better with much lower maintenance overhead and is easier to extend or replace later.
A 3+ year old car still working as intended is an extremely low bar for a car.

A car from the 70s, with proper care, would still work today just as well as it did when it was brand new.

In my view, a car should only require software updates in very rare circumstances. It should come with hardware and corresponding software that is fit for purpose and works. Most definitely I do not ever want any over-the-air updates. Requiring updates is a sign that the software was not properly engineered in the first place. I do not want that in my car.

If, for example, we are talking about upgrading the entertainment system, then it should just be made modular, like it used to be. Want to get an improved entertainment system with a better screen / better navigation system etc.? Take the old one out and install a new one. But the old one must keep working as well as on day one 20 years in the future, without any required software updates, even if the manufacturer goes bankrupt.
You can pack the JSON into the renderer if you want. The real meat of the app is the renderer itself, though. For example, you could put the menus and controls in an embedded JSON and then have the app fetch the data view from a server. It's not like your average Twitter or Facebook can show a whole lot without Internet access, so I don't think Apple will reject any apps that don't work without internet access. Add some certificate pinning for good measure and Apple will have to test on rooted iPhone to get access to the data being exchanged, and I don't think the testers really care enough about that stuff anyway. They'll much rather complaintthat you link to your website in a way that angers the Apple gods and other such low hanging fruit.

There are plenty of apps out there that are basically this but with custom logic. Lots of other apps are not much more than a webview with a custom "can't contact the servers" screen.
I suppose it's technically user-generated content, so it's fine? i.e. the app developer couldn't possibly know at review-time what it would be, and that run-time stuff is only distributed (in theory) to the person(s) that generated it; it isn't 'the core functionality of the app'.
Haha same here, I get distracted doing many different projects finishing none at the same time XD
Yeah that weirded me out. I knew I'd read this take somewhere before, but it wasn't clear that I got to the bottom that the OP had just copied it without any of their own commentary.
It's like teenage sex. You think everyone else is doing it, so you want to do it too.

Funny, I had a junior engineer stand up a notification service. They used terraform and Lambda, had it all scripted. It was cool. Took him all day to do it.

Me... wrote a one line bash script that ran on a cron. Done in a minute.
Under what license is the contributed data? I got burned twice by CDDB and then IMDB stealing their community's hard work only to monetize it, and I'll only ever participate in these sorts of things if (1) content is put under CC-BY-SA/GFDL and (2) there's a database export option, like Wikipedia:

GDPR is about personal data, not just cookies.

I agree they should have thought better of that cookie law, which is a different one. But GDPR really was and is on point.
Yes, I can't wait to hear that my car no longer works because all the plastic "rusted"
There's also the issue of various creditors giving them bad information. I don't know how successful you might be suing a credit reporting agency if they were given bad info by some debt collector.
Yup definitely on your side, it’s frustrating to see button less interfaces, buttons make many more sense.
I went into my local BigBank branch to close out accounts since we moved to a credit union, they said they were a "cashless bank". I was in a hurry and didn't ask snarky follow-up questions like how long that branch would be there. Felt bad for the employee.

It would make for a funny movie scene that a bank robber tries to rob a bank and finds out its "cashless". Maybe they steal the pens? Or try to get them to write out a cashiers check? Then they have a problem with the printer and the triplicate forms they need to fill out.
But will PEX harden over the years and eventually crack like most plastics?
Credit Scores in the USA is basically developed into a social score. No European countries (with the possible exception of the UK) use a similar system. I wonder why Americans just keep going for it.
Shell consultant quits and accuses firm of 'extreme harms'
I built my last mobile app with Ionic, every time I created a new page, new endpoint sending JSON i was wondering why I wasn't sending just Ionic html from the server, or that the JSON contains the UI.

Now even to a small UI change I need to redeploy the app to app stores, which is ...tiresome.

A pity I didn't know this way before.

how to use the stove

I've been using an induction stove for years now, and I still can't get over the fact that I don't have stepless control over the output power. When I have to keep something on a simmer, I'm continually adjusting the controls because keeping the pan on 2 will eventually get off the boil, and if I keep it on 3 it boils too hard.

Give me back my continuously-variable controls, please.
I was more thinking peripherals. The Natural keyboard line and their cheap mice were always just rock solid. Admittedly I've not been in the market for them for a while so I don't know what the latest models are like, but I did find the irony that a software company's best products were its hardware ones rather delicious.
Or just regulate credit better.
This should be at the top of this topic's thread.
Flex is becoming more and more irrelevant to do layouts. CSS Grid is really solid and it works well on responsive. The possibilities are endless.
Agree! The fine sensitive movements of fingers (or better, lack of movement) that are required by touch screens can become very annoying. No possibility to rest your finger on a button. Accidentally touching somewhere else in the UI. Et cetera. These kinds of things are small, but add up pretty quickly in a world getting filled with capacitive touch screens.
How did you get home loan if you didn't have any debt to build up your score and credit history?
I trust VW more than I trust Elon, yes.
Sponsorship (including merch) works for things people love - not stuff they casually use. In that case ads are probably the best option - but that's easily possible GDPR compliantly.
It feels like we are hearing more and more package-repository drama/hacks recently. Did the popularity of npm wake the hackers up or is it the reporting?
Just want to reinforce what others are saying: I visited the site and was intrigued. I wanted to see what the experience was like. So I clicked "try it" but instead of getting to try it, I was presented with a sign-up form.

Would be really great to let people try the experience and then prompt them to sign up to save it.
I've been working since I was 16 years old and I've had sparkling credit my entire life. I pay my cards in full every month; never missed a payment for 10+ years, paid off my car early.

I moved abroad and forgot about a $30 dollar balance with AT&T which brought my FICO score to 600. One 30 dollar bill means I can no longer qualify for a mortgage or a car payment or anything.
A non abusive advertising platform wouldn't be subjected to GDPR problems, this should make it easier for them to compete and thrive not harder. When it was legal to just collect all data about users from everywhere and sell it etc then it was impossible for good actors to compete. What we see today is that all those bad actors who profited from all those bad actions are complaining and having problems, that is a good thing.
Pay it off. Wait a month. You'll be fine.
> change the clock on their oven

it's really easy. grab the clock. turn the hands to the desired position. optionally wind it up. put back on the oven.
the only thing i dont understand why would anybody put his clock on the oven?
Small claims court usually requires a very concrete definition of damages, things you can show in a receipt, invoice, estimate, etc.
I find the right to be forgotten very valuable in a world where everything is permanent, searchable and every little mistake will be used against you in the future.

> Implement RTBF in context of IPFS.

How does IPFS deal with CSAM being published on it? Not saying it should detect CSAM, but once it is found, how does one go about having it removed? You use the same system to handle RTBF, and if you can't, then maybe a platform where it's literally impossible to delete something isn't a good idea (partly because undesirable content will ultimately outnumber legitimate content)?

> You get Splinternet. Several independent Internets, walled from each other.

If there's an internet where Facebook and Google can't spy on me, sign me up!
And if they did that it would also make them GDPR compliant.

They chose to put up cookie banners as a way of making to seem like the people making the laws told them to do it.

> 99% are just fake. If you reject cookies you keep get them

This is silly. The rule is that people are allowed to opt 𝚘̶𝚞̶𝚝̶ in to tracking. Just because some companies use cookies for this doesn't mean that cookies are banned.

If you are using cookies to store your website's settings then that is perfectly fine.
Oh wow. My school didn't have any cameras inside the building. And even if there are security cameras on the entrance, they overwrite after 3x24hours. Plus they are not connected to the internet.

It seems we have a very different experience to base our opinions on.
changing the legislation and the credit market, copying (dunno) the french or italian system and regulation. German system is pretty bad, but not as bad as in the US.
Understood.

But just like suing a large firm, when sending a $1000/hr corporate lawyer to small claims court, it makes more sense to just settle quickly.
That's a very fair point, honestly not the first thing we thought of when building the website (as the initial intention was only for my wife and I to have lists but certainly something I'm going to look into and work on.
> It is a pain in the ass to get used to not using credit, but it is so, so worth it.

Using credit to buy things you can't afford is a bad idea, but using credit to better leverage your money is very useful. Especially with increasing inflation, having debt that you have no trouble servicing isn't a bad thing.
Back in the 90's i competed with my friends on who had the longest uptime. Most guys I've meet they reseted the computer multiple times a day to increase the performance. I never turn off my mac, it has to be a software update or something like a general crash.
> No European countries (with the possible exception of the UK) use a similar system

There's SCHUFA here in Germany
> Cookie banner has ruined the whole web.

No, all websites that have cookie banners do so because they were already ruining the web, the only thing you can blame GDPR for in that regard is visualizing it.
Hot running water is actually quite effective.

Some solid and oily toxins are considered technically insoluble in water since so few milligrams will dissolve in a liter. Unlike familiar things that are obviously soluble in grams like salt or sugar.

Now the pesticides are developed to be highly toxic in milligram amounts, but the advantage is that there is likely only to be a few milligrams on the farm produce that needs to be washed off.

Solubility is a function of solvent temperature and volume, so the hotter and the greater number of liters or gallons, often astronomically more of an "insoluble" material can be taken up into a solvent compared to the very minuscule amount soluble when cold.

Naturally thorough flushing and/or repeated rinsing with fresh hot solvent will be more effective than a single bath, since the first bath sees the highest concentration of solute. Which can re-deposit upon evaporation.

I'm sure people have not thought it was that bad and have occasionally eaten something like an unwashed grape or strawberry, or even quite a number of them whether focusing much awareness on it or not.

Take fruit from that same batch and run it under good amounts of hot water and see if you can taste the difference too.

Carefully using an appropriate vegetable brush is a good idea as well.
I think you are downvoted because you touch on the BLM/Asian Pacific stuff, which tickles people. But yeah you are also very right.
Love stuff like this, even tried logging a full year in Excel in 15min increments (a project seen here on HN), but nothing was ever as complete or automatable as I needed it.

I have Google Fit on my phone, I have a MiBand which tracks steps + heartbeat + sleep stats, is there a way to import these daily? And generate stats from them?
It went to collections. That stays on your credit for 3-5 years.
IPFS already has to deal with other kinds of forbidden content.

Could you elaborate on the second order effects?
You need to take a break from social media. You’re not even a US citizen but US news tires you?

I certainly don’t lose sleep over what happens in Australia for example.
Well, my school is the kind of school where a child recorded a teacher abusing another child and the solution was to ban mobile phones...

And when a child (unsuccessfully) knifed a teacher, all the other teachers went and started telling every parent that their children will have problems if they tell the press that the attacked teacher was abusive, saying things like "this is our internal problem to solve, no need to involve the authorities" (but of course they were more than happy to involve the authorities in the attack, they just didn't want them to know the full story).

The problem is, the fact that there are a few great schools doesn't mean there isn't a ton of really bad schools. You can't base policy on the great schools alone... I'm absolutely convinced that distant/online education is a huge net positive. Canceling it instead of improving it feels so wrong.
Seems likely, since Volkswagen AG is what.. 11/12 brands?
> A system that correctly predicts who is likely to pay back borrowed funds as agreed serves both borrowers and lenders.

Such a system can't be built without being unfairly biased against some people who don't fit a certain mold, and thus it should be illegal.

Most of Europe has a much simpler system: Your ability to obtain credit is based on the past several years of income, with a penalty for instances over the past ~7 years in which you didn't pay back debts. That's it; no predictive modeling or scoring or other nonsense; everyone has an even chance at credit.
>a lot of the hard problems he was discussing were completely solved by the advent of touchscreen interfaces (specifically, the ability to reconfigure the interface according to what tasks are relevant at that moment). Done right, touchscreens are a huge boon for usability (I mean, look at what the iphone did).

Eh, reconfigurability and dynamic interfaces are great for developers because it allows you to change things later and fix mistakes. Context sensitive UIs assume my brain can switch spatial contexts as well and for some interfaces, context switches are expensive on my brain. I want to rely more on muscle memory so I can focus on higher cognitive tasks, I don't want my UI to be one of those higher cognitive tasks.

Touch interfaces have their place but too many fall prey to the allure of sexy and try to slap it on every problem. On phones it ultimatelt makes sense, even there jumping between apps and updates on apps I find myself spending time figuring out interfaces far more than I should need to. This hurts usability more than helps it. I understand the goal is typi ally continuous improvement but I wonder for how many the goal is simply continous new shiny
Fly can do this without the new Machines functionality, it's a big selling point for them.

You set a min and max number of VMs to run. Set the watermark for users per machine. And they automatically scale up and down depending on the number of connections. It will even figure out where in the world all the connections are coming from, and spin up the new VM in a region near to them.

So if your video encoding was requested via HTTP(S) connections then this would be trivial.

>synthetic meat grown in a lab gets rid of a lot of CO2 issues associated with cattle.

I mean if you isolate for certain things like methane released trough farts sure...
But from what i've heard it's still a process that requires a lot of hard to add up factors which aren't accounted for and is difficult to scale to boot.

In a vacuum it seems like your meat was great and neutral for the environment. The gathering, production processes, logistics, etc of all the chemicals, materials, etc involved might make it all a bit more vague.
I've been in the industry for 27 years now. People who entered the tech job market after 2015 are in for a rude awakening IMO. Especially those whose experience is primarily FAANG-MULA and similar. This market very much reminds me of 1997-2000 and 2001-2003 was UGLY.
Reminded me of my favorite article. http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesi...

I'm willing to pay extra to avoid touch screens in my cars, washing machines, door locks, and personal computers. I can't be the only one!
> Flatness in phones works because we can use our full attention

I very much agree with you, and would like to add that flatness in phones is a feature because today phones are pocket computers, and computers should be able to provide any arbitrary UI to function as such. Cars on the other hand are not a computer nor are they intended to function as one.

The fact that modern cars expose part of their on-board computer to the driver is no excuse to treat any capability that may be handled by said computer as something exclusively accessible via a touchscreen UI, especially when its something that is expected to be interacted with while driving (audio playback control, climate control, windscreen wipers, etc.). A touchscreen is fine for features that should not be done while driving and did not exist or were not easily accessible prior to the ubiquity of touchscreens in cars. For all intents and purposes those are computer features. However, subjecting anything that was previously available via mechanical interaction to it is an unacceptable regression.
I believe this is being maintained by pragmatic programming (if I remember the name). Each employee that is laid off enter their details into a form that then turns into this excel sheet.
They are eventually taking it down, for sure, just a matter of time…

Cookie banners just make visible how hard you and your private data have been fucked all over the internet in all the years.

It creates visibility where there was none.
Mainframe devs remind me of mechanics who specialize in repairing classic cars.
Based on personal experiences trying to give away my collection of 2000's scifi/fantasy books, it's hard even to give them away.

The physical book market is shrinking and a significant portion of new readers likely use ebooks/audiobooks instead so there's just far less demand for physical books.

I think it's going to be very hard to even give books away in the coming decades, I can see the vast majority going to recycling.
Your hedge about "no alternative perpetrator" assumes competence on the part of the police.

Yeah see this is essentially what I'm talking about. dirtyid isn't really willing to engage with the points I made about China itself, so instead they try to divert attention to the CIA (??) It's almost comical how underhanded and ineffective this type of debate is. It's as if you're trying to have a debate about the actions of Enron and your opponent insists on bringing up how what Bernie Madoff did was worse.

My friend, I'm a Canadian. I have nothing good to say about the CIA. But I have far, far worse to say about the most bloody and repressive totalitarian regime present in the world right now. You and every other ignorant pawn have blood on your hands, and I hope some day you feel rightfully ashamed.
