Anything out there that lets one programatically query the style on an element? I get a DOM object from lxmlhtml.fromstring(), but haven't figured out how to get element styles, so I can display something in bold, or apply a term color.
> If you aren't working full time and don't even have network access, you are out of H-1B eligibility

How so? How is “working full time”, or whatever the eligibility criterion defined, legally? Not the employment agreement?

Do you actually know this stuff or you just speculating?
That's the subject of one of the top HN posts of all time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26487854

I like to think I'm doing my small part by not going back and renaming branches in all my old repos despite github prodding me to.
Svbtle is doing unauthorized credit card transactions on my card
SVBTLE essentially charged me 4 times in the row for the annual subscription fee. I tried to email their concierge multiple times service with no response.

Seems like there are other customers going through the same: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33684437

I wonder the scale of the problem and if this a wider scale activity that they are undertaking.

I have already reported this to the credit card processing company, Stripe and asked my bank to initiate a dispute.

I am positive Curtis is not aware of this, thats just not the sort of person he is. In either case, its pretty serious that this has happened,
Ok. But now imagine that using Facebook or TikTok in the browser on your Mac is a terrible, pared down experience, full of banners pushing you to get the app. But the app isn’t on the App Store, where there are rules, it’s on their website. Just follow these steps! Do you not think people can’t follow step by step instructions to do something like that, if they had a very strong reward at the end?

It’s not just little Billy and Grandma who shouldn’t be turning that mode on, it’s most people.
I think the actual danger in well-being is around habit formation. Most millennials are old enough where you may be able to find a link between age acquired of mobile phones and current wellbeing based on screen time. At least where I live, young parents are absolutely glued to their phones and by proxy their kids are forming these habits at ages as early at two. I was a game boy kid and eventually developed bad habits of playing excess video games that I struggled with until I was 27. I can tell you first hand that playing games too much affected my grades, sleep, and social life as a teen.

I would seriously contest the pattern they found here. It does not match other statistics of mental health and increasing screentime.
And what is that 80% comprised of? It's not much of an alternative when both parties are squeezing 30% out of those of us who do mobile development.
>One can express disapproval without the express intent of exerting social pressure. That is, the outcome may exert social pressure but the point is to have your voice be heard, not shut the other person down.

What does "have your voice heard" mean? Who is hearing your voice? How does hearing that voice impact that person or group? Isn't there an implicit social pressure on that person to change after hearing voices of disapproval.

Just think of it on a small scale interpersonal level. Imagine your significant other comes to you and says "I'm thinking of painting the bedroom blue". How do you respond voicing your disapproval of the idea without them taking it as social pressure to not do it? Any objection to the color choice will be viewed as pressure to not make that choice. You can't separate the disapproval from the social pressure because the disapproval is inherently a form of the social pressure.

The same is true for protests. People don't protest just to make their disapproval known. They protest to motivate change. People aren't in the streets of Iran and China at the moment because they want strangers to know they disapprove of their government actions. They are doing it to motivate change from their government.
So yours is a pure defense of Huawei, because they country the operate in has no civil liberty protections, they aren't at fault for helping authoritarians build a surveillance state and spy on others?

I mean, I guess so. That doesn't mean Huawei isn't harming the safety and security of millions while Apple is just your standard monopolist.

Typically, no, Samsung are one of the few manufacturers who consistently don't lock bootloaders. I've been flashing Samsung Android phones for over 10 years: https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall

That said, they have locked bootloaders on some devices. Predominantly in the US market, I believe at the request of carriers. However, it's traditionally been the minority of devices.
I wonder if the outcome would have been different if instead of "Probablistic Programming Languages" the team was called something like "Applied Cost Saving Research".

So don’t buy an iPhone. You know that’s not the offer.

No one is forcing you to use a third party App Store. Any app with enough popularity on a third party store will be cloned on the first party one.
Well… Yeah, admittedly, “Spotify only” podcasts are fair and established business-practice, like "XBox only games", rock-bands signed up to a specific label, writers having a contract with a publisher and all. But let's remind ourselves what the word "podcast" used to mean. These were literally just RSS feeds with audio-files. A completely decentralized system by nature (ironically, unlike some modern decentralized systems like Mastodon, etc., that try to replace an established centralized system), monetized independently via adds or donations. Now it means just random long-winded badly produced talking-shows (in video format!) on YouTube and Spotify, mostly restricted to one publisher, copying being considered a pirate activity. So, while it's no different than Netflix-shows, really, it somehow makes me more bitter.
Why would that be relevant? Buying a product doesn't mean I like everything about it, just that overall, it was the least bad option available to me at the time.
Personally, I'm more paranoid concerning whether the deletion actually worked when I deleted my LastPass three or four major security incidents ago...
Don’t buy Apple to consume as a user if you don’t like it.

If you’re an app developer then pay by the rules…

It absolutely is an option.
You can and in fact Spotify hasn’t allowed in app purchases for years.
Unless laws are changes, the US Government cannot demand anything from private industry.
> We recently detected unusual activity within a third-party cloud storage service, which is currently shared by both LastPass and its affiliate, GoTo. We immediately launched an investigation, engaged Mandiant, a leading security firm, and alerted law enforcement.

EXACTLY why so many companies opt to stay on-prem, to the amazement and bewilderment of every vendor sales rep that calls on the phone.

Go ahead and ask them which Cloud providers their company uses. Ask them which open-source libraries their SaaS uses. Ask them to show you the audits they've performed on THEIR supply chain this year. You won't get any answers.

So sick and tired of everyone jumping on the "more links in the chain is better" bandwagon.
And it isn’t like Apple hasn’t tried using their weight before to fix market prices in their favor. See the debacle with eBooks.
no authorization on some endpoints + enumeration I presume
I've never looked at Krita because it's always been referenced to me as a painting application primarily and not an image editing / photo manipulation tool. I understand there may be some cross over in functionality, but aren't they essentially built for different purposes?
The doxxing, deep fakes, and generative AI will come later in life.
I have never really liked the idea of a password manager synched to a central server. Everyone always made excuses for it because each one is encrypted for each user and whatnot but it just means an attacker only needs to hit one spot to get a slew of vaults.

I liked 1Password for a long time because it gave you an option to sync with iCloud, Dropbox, FTP, etc. Then they started their own service like LastPass and started trying to push people to that. They got backlash initially and turned the other abilities back on but I'm sure they're trying to make it as difficult as possible to continue to use anything but synching to their server.

I've since moved to Keepass and sync it with my NAS
I'm not sure you do have "control" if your complaint is that there are dozens of random apps installed.

If you're able to uninstall those apps then, yes, you have (some amount of) control.
Given that there is tremendous code sharing of Apple's OS+AppStore software on the laptop and phone, I have not understood how both hardware products are not subject to the same rules. Phones are basically micro-laptops and should have similar platform expectations, legally.

I'm not in the US, but as an immigrant myself I can say it's incredibly stressful to be on a working visa during job changes and during a period of unstable economy. Especially if you have family.

To be rational, I work in academia and I shouldn't need to worry too much about job safety and/or visa applications, but I still semi-regularly woke up at night from nightmares of my visa expiring, not being renewed, suddenly being deported, or similar stuff.

I got my permanent residence earlier this year and all of it stopped. It gives you some sense of stability/security. It also makes one feel a bit more accepted in society by not needing to leave it if a work agreement (for whatever reason) ends.
I feel quite shocked reading the other replies to see that so many people seem to believe the only way to resolve violence is to respond with violence.

Perhaps I wasn't bullied as physically or severely as people here, but I had a few people that picked on me a lot in high school. One who ended up dating the girl I was in love with and whom I introduced to my friend group. He rubbed it in my face for almost four years that he was dating her and I wasn't. It wasn't until a few years ago, when I saw him at a friend's bachelor party and he got so drunk he got thrown out of the casino, that I started to reflect on how his life may have actually have been as a kid. His dad seemed to bully him like crazy, to have ridiculous demands on him and thus he would rebel. He didn't seem to have a lot of close friends and didn't seem to have a lot of confidence in his physical appearance. I don't know. What I did realize is that he probably struggled a lot as a kid. Same with another kid that would bully me. And another.

I just strongly reject the idea that the only way to resolve violence is to respond with violence—I don't know if I even believe it is a very effective medium- to long-term solution at all.

I think what works better is to stand up for ourselves while also trying to stand up for them. To humanize ourselves and to humanize them if we can. To say how we're feeling, to say how we imagine they might be feeling. Physical violence may cause them to feel fear, but at what point do we then become the bully trying to instill fear in them?
Slightly off topic:

In the video of the post you can see an option of run a script in an iPhone.

What's that option?
It's really an iPhone?
What are the capabilities of that functionality?
I don't think either of those help if the website itself is pwned? SRI is fine if your website is secure but the CDN is pwned, the other one seems to be a defense a website can use against a malicious extension, but the risk with LastPass is if the LastPass website is pwned it can just read your password. You'd need some way to transfer essentially signed app bundles to the browser for the browser to verify, which seems like a different sort of project.

There's also the fact that you don't develop a corporate hierarchy as complicated as the FTX and Alameda clusters of companies (something like 130 companies), due to ignorance and naivety.
> I am confused why you think that Gimp somehow magically used all slots for image software development.

The linux distribution model seems to lead it to, somehow. If you open up a RedHat machine and ask it for a picture editor, you're going to get Gimp, even though Krita would almost certainly be better at doing what you want.
I was recently just one of those affected by a random issue! I was made aware in the forums that maybe my VM had run out of space. That would've helped if an error message immediately alerted to my exhausted disk space. I realized that what I actually wanted was a managed provider and moved (back) to Heroku just for postgres. I recently moved out of there for my backend hosting & postgres to fly.io. My backend hosting stays on fly.io but will be putting my postgres in a managed platform.
Haven't used photoshop in 10 years. I have gimp, never use it. Paint.net is my basic image tool, along with IrfanView, for which I have a license circa 2004. I also use Scribus, FOSS version of InDesign.
But never heard of Photopea until today...
Apple employees have the freedom to create without coercion. You would need to lobby to change law, not preach to the choir here.

That’s what Spotify and Musk are doing; trying to manipulate public perception to influence politicians.

The problem they have is Apple is the crown jewel of US tech corps. Spotify is not and politicians are well aware Musk is a poser with money. Epic, Spotify, like Jobs once said, sell features not products.

Gabe Newell has called generative content “an extinction level event” for traditional media producers and distributors. Epic and Spotify are an AI breakthrough away from irrelevance. Why listen to them except as anything but an appeal to rapidly outdated economic traditions?

They can join the protest rotary phone makers, and horse and buggy businesses are pulling together.
Plenty of other threads about the fees but you feel the need to come comment this in a chain about Spotify neglecting to build for and support their customers. Your reply (and mine) are so incredibly unrelated to this comment thread.
Why do you think a reporter should be deciding who is and who is not a crook? If they adequately report the facts then the reader can be sufficiently informed to make up their own mind.
> Apple's customer base

Interesting way to frame it. The customer belongs to Apple. Far be it for the customer to decide what they want or like, they belong to Apple after all, and if those corporations want access to what's Apple's, they need to pay up.

You're not wrong, but imagine a world where the customer didn't actually belong to Apple and the users could decide to play Fornite or shitpost on Twitter if that was something they wanted to do. I think that's an obviously better world, even if they end up on twitter as a result.

I wasn't exposed to Second Life. But I do feel that the alternative life within a metaverse isn't going to appeal to a lot of people.

What kind of socio-political lessons did you draw from Second Life? Would love to hear your take.
The original claim was "technique proposed would in most cases be useless"

Technique does not mean precisely what the person was doing just their method. Their technique has very obvious applications to user tracking.

It’s more than that. People who extract resources tend to be reactionaries who hate taxes more than anything.

They are against schools, against libraries, against whatever, as taxes reduce their return on assets.

It’s all shorted and eventually backfires.
An 80 lb kid who "knows how to defend himself" against one weighting 150 still loses the fight. The benefit of defending oneself is mostly that the bully often moves on to easier pickings after pummeling the one who fought back.
Keep, in mind if you are consumed a certain podcast over this summer, we learned that certain SV VC firms were circulating token issuance schemes that involved being outside of US jurisdiction to avoid oversight to game the systems.

It's probably one of the clear headed things that JC has done in that at times he does shine a light of truth on something rather than the usual PR bluster he is known for.

It's way bigger than the exchanges, there will be some VC firm fallout over this as the SEC will get involved.
Restaurants are even doing this. “Fried chicken restaurant” it says on the sign selling “chicken sandwiches” that are actually deep fried gardein but its hardly clear because the restaurant is trying too hard to be cute. I went to a place like this with vegan friends and even they were confused whether or not this was actually a plant based item on the menu, had to get reassurances from wait staff. There needs to be laws like with cheese or wine over what you can call things when you sell them to consumers.
Experience works in a learning process if, and only if, there is awareness of consequences, and the developing brain is capable of linking actions with consequences. If there is a long feedback cycle, it is doubtful an adolescent is going to put much thought into it — or care.

Free range parenting, by the way, don’t necessarily advocate letting a child wander off with zero awareness on the part of the parent. There are often environmental rail guards invisible to the child — neighbors that know the child and the parents, for example, or in the case of Japan, a culture and social order where this is pervasive.

My view is that parents curate environments, and change the possibility space in which catastrophic mistakes can be avoided. This isn’t a question of “sheltering” or “exposure”, but whether or not posting up naked under aged pictures of yourself on the internet is a catastrophic mistake.
Are there any studies measuring it on real-world workloads?
Can concur. I have a hard time justifying their decision to lock down the Web Extension API so much. They do it in the name of privacy but advanced users should totally be able to modify the experience of the browser as they want.

I've been focusing on a very bottoms-up approach: how to respond to micro-attacks. So practicing responding to getting rejected, ignored, blamed, even idolized, and complimented—anything that makes me want to disconnect more and more from the person and from myself. I've found that in getting better at these very simple, micro-interactions, I start to get better at the bigger things.

One of the things I've noticed the most in classes is that being attacked is often a subjective experience from the receiver, often oblivious to the giver. I have people intentionally try to reject the other and it seems very uncomfortable to try to do it intentionally.

Anyways, I find it neither dystopian nor hellish. One person who took a class said, "Jim, your workshop it f*cked my feelings but they needed it, thank you."

I don't mean to advertise here, more just to say I believe there are ways to approach it that I feel excited about.
Too many to list but somehow these have never been the self-help, tutorial kinda books or non-fiction that are focused on such topics.

I had a recent realizing that Deno is actually an amazing tool for scripts and webscraping. It runs TS natively so I can take advantage of TypeScript's amazing type system when interacting with complex APIs. Being able to import libraries from a url also makes it a breeze to use any libraries (I've yet to run into a node module that Deno's std/node library wasn't able to polyfill).

I can basically write a .ts file anywhere and run it from the CLI with deno. Definitely prefer it over python at this point
