I think stablecoins are fundamentally a centralized technology. It betrays the purpose of cryptocurrency in the first place if there's a single point of failure that can be regulated to hell.
Also, I will say that the normal CNN site is slow to completely load, but decently fast to become interactive. Like on my iPhone, everything above the fold is loaded and interactive reasonably quickly, even if the little blue loader bar does take quite awhile to finish. But if you’re not focusing on that, the site doesn’t FEEL slow, as the key content you want to start reading right away does load decently fast.
Cool idea! Reminds a bit of Jonathan Abrams' 'Nuzzel' - absorbed into Twitter Inc, perhaps now powering some features of 'Twitter Blue' subscription services.

The auto-reload is a bit disorienting - I'd suggest an option or mode where the pages only update after user actions.

A bunch of the terms/actions/icons are unclear. EG: What's 'tuning' mean with respect to my "@@username"? What's 'tweeted for' mean? Will a 'star' here have effects on Twitter, or just locally? What will 'subscribe' do? Will clicking an 'X' do something irreversible? (Don't need answers here - but better hinting on site near the actions would be great.)

It might be OK for people to figure these out via exploration - as long as there's enough confidence exploration won't inadvertently create other annoyances. Adding floating tooltips for most clickable regions with a bit more detail could help a lot.

I'll definitely keep checking back!
Reading up on sources that actively oppose your bias might be actively harmful if misinformation is widespread, though. If we define facts as indisputable evidence conveyed via trustworthy sources, then sure, go find more such facts that oppose your views. But the scary part is how much literal “fake news,” and false flag claims there are. By your assertion, if we are naturally biased about Ukraine, we should equally hunt down facts from “the other side,” but there are very few objectively trustworthy sources right now that are willing to go on the record. And nation-states waging active Information warfare campaigns. It’s obvious to any outsider that Ukraine has a bias, is biased as a source. But… they do allow reporters in, so I think there can be acknowledgement of bias without actively having to hunt down opposing opinions. Just be aware that what you’re seeing is one-sided and you’ll go farther in resetting your biases, is my thinking on this. Of course, being typed in haste, it’s probably wildly naive as the fine article describes. Perhaps talking it out with those of different biases holds part of the answer. (Or perhaps I naively still believe in an objective truth of events that cannot be easily proven to exist in digital mediums outside of our trust in math for cryptography?)

During the start of the coronavirus pandemic Minnesota enacted a stay at home order. Protestors arrived at the governor’s residence armed with guns after the lockdown order was extended. The stay at home order was modified to be less restrictive THAT DAY by the governor. He claimed that the modification was unrelated, but everybody knows that’s not true.
Even easier, just simplify the tax code. But tax preparation lobbyists blocked those attempts.

The IRS is getting record funding. They are stockpiling ammo with all the extra funds. Taxation is theft anyways. The complicated tax code ensures that wealthy people pay less taxes while the IRS can go after middle class earners. Throwing more money at the problem won't help in my simple minded opinion.
Tesla has grown incredibly fast, they have 100k employees, they have a terrific balance sheet and are at no risk of bankruptcy.

Tesla has grown incredibly quick, all while essentially having the electric car market to themselves. That is no longer true---their market share will inevitably shrink, because it has nowhere to go but down. If the overall market growth slows---say, because of inflation and a recession---then this could be a problem for a company that has been staffing for breakneck growth and now sees that growth flattening. I'm not saying Tesla is going bankrupt, but I do believe that having two major competitors beat it to market in a strategic segment like trucks is a problem for Tesla, they are seeing that problem play out in projected sales, and they are trimming the payroll to rightsize for more challenging conditions.

If your parsing code cares about grapheme cluster boundaries, it'll behave differently on the same string when the unicode spec changes. So it may work differently on different operating systems, or with different versions of your unicode libraries.

And that means the output of your validation methods or tokenizers will randomly change!

I'm happy for the rendering of strings to change over time. But in my business logic, compilers and database code: That sounds like an unnecessary source of bugs.
> What may have been missing from it is the ideological bit - for a platform to be truly open - and to be a viable platform!, it can't have a restricted "whitelist".

> What's probably needed for full webextension support is a strong, perhaps not purely rational leader that will rally folks and actually push the teams to do the work that may be useless, or useful to a tiny percentage of the user base, in a belief that it'll produce a better future. Which may or may not pan out!

While I appreciate the development work you and other Mozilla engineers have done on Firefox, this kind of attitude is causing Firefox to bleed users. This argument dismisses honest feedback from users as "ideological" and "not purely rational" because it doesn't align with Mozilla's product decisions. Desiring access to more add-ons is a utilitarian position to take, not an irrational one. On the other hand, continuously ignoring your users is a surefire way to lose them as soon as they find a viable alternative to your product, and that's what I would call irrational.

Allowing users to opt out of the extension whitelist on the stable channel of Firefox for Android is a low-effort, high-impact change that would greatly benefit users who use add-ons other than the 18 whitelisted ones, while not harming the users who choose to stay with the whitelist (enabled by default) in any way. By refusing to make the whitelist optional, Mozilla is making Firefox for Android significantly less useful to users who want to use non-whitelisted add-ons, while not improving the experience for the users who choose not to opt out.

In the end, it doesn’t matter.

What matters is that this will undoubtedly help some people have better accessibility to their medicine.

In a medical group of mine (Facebook), somebody posted about needing help with their medicine (Desmopressin, nasal) price - they were paying $400 a month, & their pharmacy/insurance had repeatedly told them that was the price they had to pay & to suck it up. These were middle class people too, but with children, that’s still a chunk of money.

I do not know why - nor does it doesn’t matter - she was completely unaware that it was available on Amazon for $50/mo. & a legitimate mail order Indian pharmacy for $25/mo. This is not your average HN user. This is your average American, or given the fact they are middle class, maybe a bit above average. They were unaware of already existing options, that are literally 1/8th of the price of what they’d been dealing with for years now.

Mark Cubans pharmacy will undoubtedly be advertised & spread through word of mouth as an option that is indeed cheaper or more accessible than what many people, despite it being 2022 & having the world of information at our fingertips, are currently using.
Since you obviously don't own guns and therefore have nothing to lose, just replace "guns" with "cars" in your statement and maybe you'll understand why that's ridiculous.
Their investment, based on the first round. That's how they justified flip-flopping away from being an NPO[0].

I'm not sure why it matters. In discussions like this there seems to be the assumption that Linux must be usable by non-technical people, and if it isn't, then someone is doing something wrong.

Linux is immensely useful to me and everyone else who uses it. It doesn't really bother me that my mom doesn't use it; she is perfectly happy with Windows. If someone made a Linux distro that was exactly as polished and easy-to-use for non-technical people as macOS or Windows is, it would not affect me at all.

Who is this strawman entity who "wants Linux to be mainstream" ? Does anyone really care? Certainly my mom doesn't, and as far as I can tell, most Linux users who are happy with it don't either.

Furthermore, it's quite easy to understand why this hasn't happened, as doing that would cost huge amounts of money and there is no incentive structure that exists to raise it.

> I gave the problem with that. It's not standard syntax, so markdown parsers like Pandoc stop working. And technically, that doesn't even fix anything, because someone could have been using that syntax already. It might not be common, but it isn't a foolproof fix.

I think the cat is already well out of the bag with that: GitHub has supported triple-tick with the "geojson" and "topojson" tags for quite some time, choosing to render them as maps[1].

Renderers like Pandoc will handle the above gracefully by degrading to a code block, which is perfectly reasonable until they support it directly. In any case, there's precedent for it.

Edit: And it looks like they do support "```math" anyways[2]. It's just not well documented, and doesn't have an inline counterpart.

When you download a tarball from the internet containing an application, usually (unless they messed up/don't know what they're doing) that means most if not all dependencies are fully contained in that archive, except for things you can't really do that for, like libc. The point of a tarball is to avoid the system package manager, which makes it easier to reach more distros at the cost of an increased risk it simply won't work on some systems (due to missing system libraries or different versions).

The real reason macOS and Windows are easier to distribute software on is because there's only one Windows and only one macOS. "Linux" is not an operating system, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, RHEL, etc. are all different operating systems that just so happen to share a kernel and a similar ecosystem of open source software. So compatibility between them is more of a coincidence than anything else.

Luckily nowadays we have Flatpaks and AppImages, which both solve the problem of simplifying app distribution and installation universally for all distros. Although devs will probably get a lot of hate if they only distribute their app as a Flatpak or AppImage and don't also offer tarballs/debs/rpms...so app distribution is likely to remain complicated for a while.

if a straw purchased gun is not used in a crime, how would it come to anybody's attention?

Well, let's say the original purchaser happens to be suspected of a crime (completely unrelated to a straw purchase, let's say bank robbery) and during a search of that purchaser's house, federal agents find a receipt for a check with "Glock 19" written on the memo line, it'll get their attention [0]. Very likely scenario :)

Other than that, good old fashioned surveillance plus a getting a confession [1]. I've also heard ads on the radio for a tipline to tell cops about straw purchases. No idea how well that works, though.

This, 100% this. I do this all the time as well and try to boil down super complex social situations into a binary right or wrong outcome. Is it even possible to comprehensively analyze any social situation? I really don't think it is, and I think the best we can do is analyze each unique situation and come to the best conclusion possible for that specific situation.

But that's just part of living in the world we live in. In the same way we can't physically compute the weather in advance, because doing so would require an accurate simulation of our universe which has way too much data to process with our current hardware, we shouldn't expect to be able to accurately "compute" whether a worldview is right or wrong.

The real world is fuzzy, and it rarely fits into our ideal scenarios. I think the best we can do is to just give life our best shot and give people with opposing ideals the benefit of the doubt and maybe even try to learn from people who think differently than us :)

Not just serialization. I'm talking about things like the drag and drop graphical flowchart thing that WebSphere has (or had), which behind the scenes is an editor for XML files that instantiate a bunch of EJB. With Spring you don't get the graphical builder part but people were still pushing the idea that you would edit the XML files rather than your application code and this would be better. I know those are second- or third-party frameworks, but WebSphere was the flagship JavaEE implementation and I swear this was the stuff Sun was hyping up as examples of what Java would let you do.
