Running a VM is not necessary more secure than running a container. By definition VM allows to run an untrusted kernel code which makes exploiting curtain bugs more feasible. This is especially so with hardware bugs.

What is fundamentally more secure is running applications inside a VM which is what Amazon is doing. The attacker then has to first exploit the kernel before trying to escape the hypervisor.

How do you propose MS/Mojang determine who is and is not an actual child? Require parents to provide legal documents of their children? Photographic confirmation? Time and time again it has been proven that attempts to segregate the internet into adult/child zones will fail.
What do you mean by a component that takes an arbitrary node to render?

Do you mean a component that renders out to a node?

Or a component that takes in a node external to the component so it can render to that external node (as opposed to or in conjunction with a node inside the component)?

If the first, isn't this just the job of the component's <template> or jsx?

If the second, isn't this what slots are for?
I think the issue is the ease of getting users banned, and the lack of actual moderating at all that is the problem. It literally is as easy as fill out the form, user is automatically banned, no verification required. Microsoft is not actually enforcing anything.

My son is 10 and has been playing Minecraft for most of his life. I would consider him quite good at it. I sometimes watch.
Every couple of months one of his friends will get banned for no reason. Usually the reason is profanity in the chat, even though they play with the chat off and are FaceTiming on the side with each other. It turns out that the system is so easy to manipulate that other users (kids) will report them just because they don’t like how the game went.

Basically spoiled kids will say if you don’t do what I want then I’m reporting all of you and getting you banned. And they do. Microsoft doesn’t actually verify the claims, just blanket bans all of them.

So the kids create a new account, and keep playing. It just seems like something that is perfectly natural to them. It does mean that I would never spend a dollar on anything Minecraft related though.
The MS controversy is that they implemented a centralized chat signing feature that is not opt-out. Most of the fun Minecraft servers are using a kind of server-side modding, but their users are playing with "vanilla" clients. So if you get banned by MS, you can't join those servers. MS is now the gatekeeper of offensive chat, not the individual servers.
Amazon is slipping. They can't get me anything in Central NY in two days.

Other retailers like Best Buy and Wal-Mart frequently get me packages in one or two days. I even ordered a box of minidiscs on Ebay from Japan and got them in less than a week.

Everybody else is getting faster but AMZN is getting slower.

I just canceled the renewal of my Prime subscription, you should too.
I'm not suggesting a prohibition of psilocybin whether in chocolate or not. I'm only saying that the delivery mechanism is a bit irresponsible, kinda like strawberry nicotine vapes. Should not be illegal though.

Generally yes. Some exceptions exist but nothing like this case.
I think it's neat. There's lots of negative feedback on here, which I would encourage you not to get down about. As always on the net, folks are probably far more likely to leave a message if they have some objection or disagree with some aspect, rather than if they just plain like it.

So yeah, I like it.

I WILL NOT MOURN THE QUEEN.

I have never liked the queen or the British monarchy. To me they are the biggest symbol of oppression in history and set my people and continent several centuries back while they enriched themselves. Never an apology, never any reparations.

So while i will not jump around and rejoice, I would be lying if I said I did not feel some happiness and relief at the news. And i think always will as this monarchy chips away.

I am not alone in these sentiments, but our sentiments as Africans have never really mattered in the grand scheme of things.

This press release from one of South Africa's bigger political parties expresses this succinctly. They did not mince their words and i know there are plenty of Africans who feel the same.

Wow, this is the most entitled attitude I've seen in a long time. You let your kids play online, where they can communicate with basically anyone. So the solution is to grant a central authority total power to ban anyone who doesn't comply with the standards you want for your children.

This is the online equivalent of a homophobe complaining that two men holding hands in the park will turn their children gay.
Thank you for sharing your diverse perspective. Many Indian friends tell be the bloody legacy of British rule over India has had a lasting negative impact on life and liberty of their people and nation still felt to this very day.
We've done limited server play with friends. As far as I understand, anyone can download and run the server software (literally - it's a free download). To log into a server, you need the IP address (and need to understand how to port forward if going outside the home etc etc). P

I think my broader point is that I appreciate Microsoft saying they want Minecraft to be a profanity -free zone. There are plenty in the "online community" that seem to be quite happy being G-rated. My 9-yeae old has watched about 100 hours of YouTube from "Pixlriffs" and its been wonderful despite random zombie attacks or whatnot.
Point of order - there are plenty of mods for Bedrock. Foxynotail has some great ones.

How is buying a copy of software which runs on my own computer different from buying a physical machine that runs on my electricity?

If this were using a company's servers, then fine. More power to them. In fact, that's a very fair way to do business. You're stepping in their own backyard and so they get to set the rules of the "house".

But when I run the software in my own machine, using my own processing power, while not using any online services that belong to them, how is it different than just buying a physical thing?

Your cone example is misleading because the melting is a natural consequence of the object existing at room temperature.

Software stays the same unless someone updates it. The copy of the software that I own (emphasis on "copy") does not naturally go through anything besides what the user does to it. If I disconnect from the internet, nobody can touch it.

Microsoft should have the full right to deny service to anyone, I don't think anyone here disputes that. But Minecraft is not a service, it is a good.
Your definition of DCA is in agreement with the comment you replied to.
> Are other alternatives not viable? For example SubscribeStar [1]? It's probably better to have multiple sources of income, rather than a single payment processor?

Patreon is where the users are. I've evaluated other platforms, but at that point I'm probably going to come up with my own thing on top of Stripe if Patreon falls over. I'm kinda low on ideas on how to make such a migration palatable otherwise.

Also for total transparency's sake, posting that thing about Patreon has actually made me lose patron support.

> As I wrote in another child comment, it somewhat sounds like enabling 2FA is an alternative to starving creators. If there was a breach in the system itself behind the login system, 2FA won't make an ounce of difference.

As a corollary, if credit card information was actually pwned, it's not like people can do much about that either at 10:30 PM EDT on a thursday after the Queen died. The financial system is gonna be kind of tied up. Two factor auth is a more actionable step that can have measurable security benefits. If it really is a credit card pwnage, that's a big enough problem at Patreon's scale that individual actions can't really do anything. It would need a systemic response.

I'm hoping this is blown out of proportion too.
TBH none of the kernel really gets designed with security in mind. It's a couple of people constantly trying to play catch up to get shit right where they can.
But then wouldn't the phrase I was referring to, "100% of it is written by lobbyists" be categorically false because it specifically emphasizes the percentage and therefore the claim is false? If they had said that sometimes phrases or even whole bills from lobbyists get introduced I wouldn't have quibbled with it.
No idea. They should figure it out. The point is that their solution doesn't and will not work in solving this problem.
fly.io works well for this. Just tried it out on the smoke test problem.
Don't use unregulated services run by powerful companies.

Libertarianism looks beautiful on paper, but in the real world, things get messy pretty fast when there is an asymmetric power relationship.

Most people don't read ToS/EULAs. Only now you come to realize this?
In general, you're right, but the difference is that evangelical Christians normally don't go around telling how Muslims are their brothers in the holy fight against the evil of atheism.

One of the historical core tenets of South Korean conservatism is that the Free World(TM) should stand together against the evil of communism, which is going to enslave all of us "any time soon," unless we stay eternally vigilant. And by the Free World(TM), they mean South Korea, America, and Japan.
Would be awesome feature if you could input your reddit handle and it would automatically filter to those subreddits that you subscribe to, rather than the full list.
The best thing to do is to be frustrated. And I mean it! The first few days of learning any new framework/language/system is to either slog through hours of tutorials and books with only tangential relevance to the task you want to accomplish, or to dive in head first and learn through a faster version of the genetic algorithm. The main loop looks something like this:

Want to do something -> try to do it (through google) -> doesn't work -> read exception -> search exception / stackoverflow -> try fix exception -> probably doesn't work -> eventually find error and underlying cause -> repeat.

As you learn more about the framework and language, the time to complete this loop becomes smaller and you learn more efficiently. However everyone goes through the initial slogging steps of being frustrated and unable to figure things out.
Advertising is a kind of trolling. I think that's an important connection to ponder. It could lead to something.

Oberlin drove the bakery out of business while knowing full well that the bakery did nothing wrong. The kid that got caught shoplifting plead guilty and he also outright stated that racism was not involved.
> Do you not realise the US is the only reason Europe doesn't enjoy friendly relations with Russia

Is because Russia does not have friends. If you think buying his hydrocarbons and shutting up about him being fascist would make you Putin's friend - you've got some bad news coming. Putin doesn't want friends. He wants power. If he can use some useful idiots from the West (like certain German politicians) to gain more power - he will use them. The rest of the Germans are paying for it now.

> might j-u-s-t p-o-s-s-i-b-l-y be because it's actually you who are the 'Baddies'

We considered the possibility, and it's not true. Putin attacked Georgia in 2008, Putin attacked Ukraine in 2014, Putin is attacking Ukraine right now. It's that simple. There are evil people around, and sometimes evil people capture power in some countries. It happened in Germany. It happened in (half of) Korea. It happened in Iran. Now it happened in Russia.

> not [at one time or another] everyone else on the fucking planet!

Everyone else on the fucking planet did not invade Ukraine. Putin did.
You're right, but the difference is that I don't think most people know it's coming, despite how much we try to shout about it.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. If someone from this sort of list — I’ll pass on the priest, thanks, but otherwise — could make it, yeah, okay.

Perhaps I’m just jaded. I don’t see it happening. I see it being one of the same old dudes that we all basically can’t stand.
At first I found it frustrtating, but I've grown to really appreciate Nintendo's approach to this problem. Their multiplayer games (like Splatoon) have no in-game chat or VOIP.

It definitely makes it harder to make friends in the games, but it also completely eliminates any and all potential for toxicity and other miscreant behavior. As a result, I'd have no problem letting my hypothetical children play these games online even at a young age.

This solution is obviously untenable for a cooperative and creative game like Minecraft, so it seems Microsoft is stuck in a real hard place here.
> Gibson’s also presented testimony that Oberlin had stopped ordering from the bakery but had offered to restore its business if charges were dropped against the three students or if the bakery gave students accused of shoplifting special treatment, which it refused to do

It's a lot more than that.
Which is why I said "buffet-like person." We are talking about different things. I'm talking about the article in the OP at the top of this thread, you're talking about what you wish we were talking about.
> I'm not seeing from this thread any info on what the appeals system is like, but I would be completely unshocked if it were, once again, a system where people who aren't highly invisible on social media will end up SOL.

I totally get this. My support is for the sentiment Microsoft is expressing. As with so many things online without the actual commitment of real people who are culturally connected (e.g. Daniel and Scott for HN), it will likely go south.
Well, Airbnb customers are deliberately choosing to use a service that flaunts and evades every kind of regulation.

If you use a hotel or a taxi, there's plenty of legal recourse should anything bad happens, because they don't operate in a gray area, there are specific regulations and oversight for them.
I'm a big fan of hooks, but I'm still not completely sold on them. I like code that reads in logical sequence, like you're telling a story. When you use `useEffect` to coordinate side effects from prop changes, it makes me feel like I'm reading a story written by Quentin Tarantino.

That being said, it's a relatively small complaint.
Nobody can operate at scale as a non profit. Capitalism-designed legal system crafted non-profits regulations in such a way that non-profits will never ever be any kind of competition to profit-driven capitalist companies because they have to beg every 2 years for money from outside in order to be able to stay afloat. They can only gather 2 years' worth of operating money legally. So its 1 year of actual work, then starting begging for a year so that you can gather enough money over that year to be able to survive another year before having to beg for money again.
Thanks for that link, I didn't knew about the opiate receptors resensitization.

I suspected, from personal experience with various NMDA antagonist that it's blockade has a similar effect on the dopamine¹ and nicotine/acetylcholine² families of receptors (but not on GABA³ nor CB⁴).

1- A few days after a dose of whatever the NMDA antagonist I currently had my ADD drug felt magical like the first month I took them.

2- As a teen I use to smoke... But I never smoked a cigarette again after trying to smoke during a DXM ( like ketamine, it's a substance with a really funky pharmacological profile ) trip. Every puff felt like it was my first puff but worse.

3- I take 1.5mg of clonazepam a night since I was 18 (I am over 40 now) and they had no effect whatsoever on my sensitivity nor my dependance. Clonazepam dependance is insidiously strong... it was prescribed for anxiety and insomnia, I never abused it, yet I cannot stop, each time I tried my attempt ended a few days later as I started to see scary bugs on the wall.

4- I used to be a pothead and while the combo is quite enjoyable they did nothing on my tolerance to cannabis.

p.s. Nowadays I read about drugs and I have as much fun as I did when I did use them... so I understand your enthusiasm, neuropsychopharmacology is fascinating.

p.p.s. If you didn't read this book https://archive.org/details/stahlsessentialp00stah I strongly recommend it !
Yeah, I just reread your comment and I think I was essentially replying to something along the lines of “RCS is standard so is perfect” which is very clearly not what you said :D

Wow, this got to 1,000 comments super fast. What is the record for the most comments on a Hacker News thread?
SpaceX, yes. But I think some of these other examples work against your point. Yes, some of them have raised lots of money (or even sold for lots of money), but revenue for Cruise + Commonwealth Fusion + Heart combined (I haven't heard of Canvas) is about $0 so far. It's yet to be seen if any are viable businesses even if they have already invented cool shit. To your point above, Boeing is not in the venture capital business. Their investors most likely want dividends and stock buybacks, not capital intensive moonshot bets.
Sadly, you can't give businesses no-star ratings on those pop-up forms ...
I think your comment here perhaps proves the author's point
React wouldn't be my pick for scalability. For large, complex and dynamic pages, its performance is significantly degraded by the virtual DOM. There are various workarounds to limit the size and frequency of virtual DOM renders, but they can only go so far, which is why we now have concurrent mode. Solid and Svelte are more scalable in that sense.

Learning curve: Hooks can be quite unintuitive for the React beginner. React's learning curve was far gentler when all components were classes and the lifecycle was simpler.
Super informative!

Maybe auditing the chat logs is an easy way for MS to try to fix this???
I wouldn’t say any are worth it inherently. There are a lot of good subscription services but what matters most is your tech stack, habits and needs.

For example, I haven’t found the per-language focused IDE approach of JetBrains to fit well with the multi-language architectures I commonly work on, and while I’ll watch Pluralsight courses I find I don’t read as much O’Reilly content even though it’s often something I get more out of.

End of the day, identify what you want to take away from things and focus on optimizing for your own mannerisms.
