What? No it's not! Worst case, build in a container with the official tools. Best case, package the build tools like every other distro and enforce source availability and build reproducibility. I mean, NixOS is a bunch of volunteers doing (a better version of) what you're claiming is impossible!

“High crime” urban areas are still generally safer for kids than car-centric suburban areas because cars aren’t going as fast. Kids are far more likely to die getting hit by a car than from violent crime.

Journals should enforce non-clickbait titles. "Mind control" and "cyborgs" are not scientific terms. Just as how "sentience when embodied" is new age mumbo jumbo. I am certain that the reviewers asked for a title change, but some authors love the clickbait. Maybe it gets them more refs?

> My main worry is people who live in relatively safe areas, like a suburban neighborhood, but with neighbors that will STILL call CPS on you for allowing them a little freedom.

I think this is the real problem, a lack of a low stakes mechanism for resolving small issues surrounding children. No matter if these laws pass, society will have standards and sometimes (oftentimes) good people will fall short of them.

Someone who can deal with a kid who gets a little overzealous at hide and seek or who decides to poke around an abandoned building instead of walking straight home from the store. Police and CPS type organizations seem to be too heavy handed for assisting with normal families that have had a dysfunctional moment, at the same time it feels like there is a need some something (neighbors just talking to each other would be nice, but it's apparently too big an ask).

It's similar to the situation with mental health and substance use disorders. A lot of people need help, and it ends up falling to first responders of various kinds and while they want to help they aren't necessarily well equipped to do so.
generally, this is a reputation thing
If you believe a handful of cases of overzealous cops/social workers questioning the decisions of parents occuring sporadically over decades spread wide and far across the land in a country of 332,000,000 is indicative of a widespread problem, you have fallen for the social media outrage-generation agitprop trick.

Golf clap.

Articles about this rehash the same three cases endlessly and wikipedia articles about media and organizations related to childhood independence are so devoid of citations and examples that if they were about any other subject they would be deleted.

> and it is still the most logical things to strive for if we want the US (or really any) country to do better.

Actually, logic would dictate you want people to become wealthy, and inequality doesn’t matter. Usually though when societies create wealth they also create inequality, so while everyone does better, the rich do even better. People like yourself can’t see how this is a good thing, because you see equality is moral, except the only way you get equality is by pulling people down. This is the lesson of history, which many don’t understand. I’ve seen this at work in so many instances, for example the education system in the UK. The obsession with equality has not meant underperformers are lifted up, but all elite training is destroyed. Except then overall you just lower the level of everyone.

You need to get beyond your resentfulness of people doing well. Capitalism (and freedom) isn’t perfect, many people exploit it, and it creates inequality, but it’s much better for everyone than anything else. And you simply don’t have examples today or in history of anything different (and Nordic countries are still capitalist, btw).
I don't think that's correct. The church tax goes directly to the church, not into state coffers. The salaries of bishops and priests, however, are paid directly by the state.

In addition to that Germany is still paying reparations for land that was expropriated from the church in the early 19th century, at a tune of half a billion Euros per year, for eternity.

Pretty poor handling all around, and completely lacking inclusivity or self-awareness for a "seasoned professional." I'm glad it's daisies and roses for most of you, but some of us have not seen such kindness. Ultimately you have to ask yourself if moderation has fostered an environment of growth and evolution, or an echo chamber. In my experience I have seen more of the latter on HN, and it's concerning.

If you compare a given snapshot of code containing utility css vs well defined CSS, then yes, it looks worst.

The reality is that if the codebase and style code is in flux, that idealized CSS stylesheet will churn towards a being a mess of tech debt. Utility CSS contain redundancies (on the HTML side of things), but the rule of dumb is that you shouldn't refactor redundancies until you are absolutely sure what the unit of abstraction / isolation should be. In the case of prototype and fleshing out your designs, having a concise CSS stylesheet won't work, especially if you work with other people who are tunnel visioned on one specific scenario (a sort of tragedy of the commons) and not thinking hollistically as you would as an solo developer. We can think of that idealized, perfectly concise, stylesheet an "unstable saddle point" whereas utility CSS is not already at the saddle point but it does converge towards a stable one.
They don't have the enthusiasm I don't think, and I believe that is where it falls flat. The technology is not currently something that everyone wants and definitely not something everyone needs.

VR is not good at general computing yet, and the form factor and way you engage with it means people won't be using it in the same way they use TVs, game consoles or smart phones. Mass adoption takes apealing to the lowest common denominator and VR doesn't do that, which is eventually going to be an issue of fashion as much as utility.

No one wants to sit on a bus in a Quest headset, no one wants to sit alone when their friends are in the same room, no one wants to look like a dork at work. Mass adoption is no where near happening to the current state of the art, we have more technology leaps and form factor pivots before we arrive at something a mass adopted social network would work, let alone something aiming to replace segments of business and commerce use cases.

The Tower Defense genre was invented in Starcraft custom maps, all the way back to the popular Starship Troopers maps, then Bunker Defense, and so on. MOBAs were invented in Warcraft 3 custom maps with the original DOTA. It's so clear how beneficial it is to any creative sphere to have those rapid development loops, where you can go from having a cool idea to having random strangers playing it within a few days.

There was another really popular Starcraft custom map (genre, really) called "Commandos" where you had a constant spawn rate of marines and could upgrade them into various things; I always thought that was a super fun mode, but it never materialized into a larger genre like Tower Defense and MOBAs did. I wonder if there's a missed (latent) opportunity there?
I think it's all the same ocean and a lot of foul creatures swim in it. Some of them are getting you into an MLM where you shuck oysters on a TikTok Live, some of them are selling you grifty courses about flipping houses, and some of them are selling you grifty courses about getting a job in tech. They're not necessarily all morally equivalent, but they're drawing from the same well of rise and grind hustle culture.

MLMs are especially pernicious and harmful, but we do ourselves a disservice if we blind ourselves to the toxic culture that enables them - one that extends far beyond just MLMs.
This parenting style isn’t exactly the same as unsupervised parenting. It is still very mindful, and can still require a lot of thought and effort on the part of the parent, something that poorer families might not have the time, energy, or resources to execute on.

Ask HN:Lawyers ...Is Windows 11 forced upgrade not illegal in your jurisdiction?
Always use Linux, but unfortunately have a few corporate applications that are only available for Windows. So have two laptops with Windows 10. This morning was greeted by the full screen volunteering these machines for a Microsoft upgrade to Win 11. Providing only two options: Do it now or Schedule for later. Incredibly dark pattern and had to use task manager to dismiss it. The only other option seems to be accept the upgrade then say no to the license conditions. A button then appears that will "allow" you to proceed to your previously purchased Windows 10...The window takes the whole screen, has no minimize buttons visible, and until I decided the way to say yes, and then refuse the license agreement, or play with the task manager, almost caused it to launch the install. I would be late for an online meeting. This must be unacceptable behavior in some kind of jurisdiction?

I might be wrong but that doesn’t have anything to do with Dang moderation does it? Getting downvoted is up to the users and if the majority of the user base is made of people with a certain ideological leaning then that leaning will inevitably show up in the discussions and in the downvotes.

I don’t think it’s up to Dang to correct that.

HN can both be a very well moderated network AND one that doesn’t allow for a certain type of discussions because of the up/down vote system. Both things can be true at the same time.
Towards the latter days of the roman republic having gangs of people paid by different politicians battle it out in the street was a common occurrence. Dueling requires all parties involved to remain honorable at all times and today’s crop of politicians are not that, so the street battle looks much more likely than the honorable duel.
I’m using Ionic heavily and judge it through this lens.

- The components for iOS look nice, but some things are off: Sheet modal is weird. Animation of modals or side panels feel too slow.

- There are no animations when navigating forward or backwards.

- The demo has scrolling issues on iOS Safari and doesn’t always show the header.

- Unfaithful communication: it claims to give you native look and feel, which can never be true for HTML/CSS-based UIs that merely replicate native components.

- I see no point in using this instead of Ionic, because Ionic has the same or more components with less bugs, because it has been around a lot longer.
Maybe because MLM advocates tell these stories 24/7, both in media and private conversation? Why does no one talk about Madoff actually being a great success (for a while), at least for himself and the people around him? It's easy to fall for these schemes, and there is no incentive to talk about the failures - so most you hear are the success stories.
Multi-Level Marketing has a very specific definition — it's a tree of people reselling ("marketing") stuff, on the expectation that the person at the next level will be able to resell ("market") it in turn to an even-bigger sucker. Or an end-user, maybe, eventually.

Something being an MLM, implies that the original producer of the product — either literally the factory, or the business that ordered the product from the factory as a work-for-hire to then begin marketing it — is the root node in that tree of reselling, and so is the one getting the most rich, since everyone else in the tree has part of their profits flowing back to them.

If a middle-man between the producer and consumer is getting richer than the producer is, then you're not looking at an MLM. You might be looking at some other kind of immoral market manipulation, but it's not specifically an MLM per se.
Same impression here.

The project has basically 4 parts:

- 1 for the CSS parts: basically a DSL to define a giant tree of Tailwind CSS class properties, with some conditionals to take care of the context (iOS vs. Material) and other optional features.

- 3 for the React/Vue/Svelte components. They seem to provide the same features, each implemented independently.

There is definitively a separation of concern between style and behavior, so the style part could be reused in other frameworks.

But there is also a "DRY" violation with the 3 independently developed framework-dependent parts. Could this be improved by having a framework-independent part (you suggest Web Components, what would be the easier way to get this part done?) and framework-dependent adapter, or would this extra layer of indirection make things harder to understand?
Really curious about this. Can you link to some context?

We're looking to find the lowest common denominator of expressing UI components and thinking about JSON metadata instead of Web Components. With this, we'd have to implement some adaptor that maps JSON to each UI library, but in our case we really only have to worry about React and Native Mobile.

We’ve literally tested this theory and it did not.

Willingness to risk death for material gain is not, historically, hard to find among humans, and, anyhow, corporations and other interests groups already use the tactic of mass propaganda to build genuine belief in their desired positions and then funding candidates that are true believers, including to the point of being willing to lie about details to advance the broader cause that has been defined that serves the interest group sponsoring the propaganda; the fact that a position is ultimately corporate propaganda doesn’t mean that the politicians see it as just that (even if they recognize it as a lie, they may see it as a lie useful to advance something else they deeply believe in.)
