Not a defense, but few outside fonts understand how hard fonts are to make, and to maintain, and to expand against feature-sets.

It's more an artisanal world than a professional one, hence the craziness of some of the licensing schemes.

Fonts are made and sold more like how the music world would be if music wasn't mainstream.
I just want a picture of a got-dang hot dog!

Truly a classic.
Oh man I actually laughed out loud at this. I don't think your HN comment is going to do anything in the face of the classic prisoner's dilemma.
...and yet people sometimes wonder why I avoid using these sorts of services, and why I work so hard to minimize the amount of data that companies learn about me.
The shapes are isomorphic as sets.
Going back to the OP, if people are voluntarily using social networks because they make it easier to catch up with friends and family, why should we "ditch the concept in general"? Should we go back to the days of communicating to each other via letters?
Yeah, well, indeed, that is an issue. I'd imagine it would be possible to get a fraction of it now via some third party, but that could be quite a haircut too.
> These “great untruths” denounce straw figures constructed from simplistic attacks that bear little resemblance to the actual concerns and tactics of activists.

Amusing that 'straw figures' a meaningless term, replaces the gendered and thus unacceptable 'straw men' the actual English idiom.

I know it's a really hard thing to predict, but good guesses are fine too
The problem with this whole thing, both sides on this argument are trying to force all actions onto a moral topology. Good things should be extolled, bad things should be suppressed.

An oblivious asshole pushing through a crowd may have roughly the same effect as an aggressive guy pushing people around, but to handle it in the same way will be met with bewilderment. "I'm just trying to get to this song." As someone who has used my size many a time to protect friends in a crowd, I gotta see whos drunk that I just need to be a wall to, and whos looking for a fight.

The notion that racism and sexism are based on intent doesnt mean they dont exist in unintentional, structural forms, just that if you want to stop unintentional racism and sexism you can't do it in the same way as you go about fighting the klan.
This seems like the opposite of reasonable.

Now some font license is expecting me to keep track of how many people a document gets shared with? Dystopian. What if I print it? Why is that allowed, but a digital file is not? How does that mesh with "Licensed users can use my fonts in any way they like"?

Also what does it even mean with a read-only format? Every file format can be ripped and converted, even if there is no widely known tooling to do so. A read-only format is not a thing that is possible. You can always just take some screenshots, or use a scanner, and reconstruct the font.
I have some friends whose parents made them take care of their siblings too much and they are worse off mentally than their peers. I won't subject my kids to that treatment.
Yeah, if it doesn't fit in a high quality website.

If you need your personal site to have the same quality as Apple's home page, then it's like spending $200 on a suit jacket.
> Is the proposition of “being more connected” really worth the downsides?

And 'proposition' is the right word to use, since its really just the promise of social networks that people like. In practice it has not worked as a means of connecting people to each other. Certainly not better than the alternatives it replaced. We should call the experiment a failure.

I'm all for getting rid of social networks, especially general-purpose ones. I don't see it happening though. Most people see them as a fact of life, inevitable as death or taxes. If you're younger than 30, you probably don't have an intuitive feeling for what the world is like without them. I guess this is understandable, if sad.
> Elon

It irks me so much that everyone calls him Elon like we’re all pals with him and he’s just one of us.

He isn’t. I find him to be an insufferable douche, he’s probably a psychopath, and he’s just a despicable human overall.

His companies are remarkable though but they’ve been built on the sweat tears blood and exploitation of so many people that I don’t think they’re respectable.

But sure let’s keep calling him Elon like he’s just everyone’s friendly neighbor or uncle.

/end rant
I feel like the very concept of 'aggression' is being watered down and diluted. In an intellectual sense I can see how it could be considered aggression, but my sense of that word implies some a much more significant amount of force and intent.
Can you think of any more egregious examples? Fonts are by far the worst in my experience.
Solutions have to come from reality, and in reality nothing happens without money. Even socialism requires money.
Mad (Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data) Landscape
Have you tested this solution? Unless something has changed since the initial spec, each handshake includes a usage counter, which the relying party sees and is supposed to remember. If the usage counter ever fails to increase, then that means something weird happened (like two keys acting as one), and the site can reject you.

There are crude ways to deal with this issue, which are fine if you intend for the second to be used only in case of emergency.
I really like this piece, but think Wilson is wrong on this point, at least as I understand microaggression.

When you cross from real aggression to microaggression, it means that the the intent is the primary source of offense.
Shoving to the front of a line is not a microagression. It is not all in your head and not just the intent.

If someone smiles at you and you think they are condescending, that is a microaggression. you may be right or you may be wrong, but the intent is what bothers you, not the smile.
IMO it's more like anyone who doesn't spend over 50% of their time thinking about React re-renders whenever they're in a React component. The level of effort to properly use hooks is insane, so them being touted as a "less boilerplate!" way of writing "more functional" (literally the opposite in practice) code is egregious.
I find using query/rtk/etc to be more trouble than they're worth tbh. It's more black-boxing then I'm comfortable with, personally. I want my side effects explicit. I've found a lot of success with redux/redux-observable which is super clean, at least for me.
If everyone’s saying we’re in a bubble, we probably are. Just because it keeps getting bigger doesn’t mean it’s not going to pop.

We’ve had 15 years of people getting billions for phone apps made in 12 months and forgotten in 6. Random individual software startups are valued more than basically the entire hardware industry under them. Bitcoin peaked out at 1.28 trillion and it still has no use beyond being a converter from dollars, to crypto, to dollars again with the occasional hand wavey “dude it’s totally completely secure and stable and everyone will use it in the future as a currency! Look how much I made by investing at the peak!” story.
In the context of a crowded concert, people bumping into each other without malicious intent isn't aggression, it's part of the experience which people choose for themselves. Those that don't consent to such physical contact (like myself) hang out at the back of the venue away from the crowd push. For the people at the front of the crowd, getting jostled around is a desirable part of the experience which they opted-in for.
Don’t make a habit out of it
I don't see a contradiction.. Humans can both be intelligent and overestimate that intelligence (by thinking it's special and unobtainable) at the same time.
Yes, I understood that. However repeated conversions can lead to rounding errors such as catastrophic cancellation. This is even more esoteric than “grams here kilograms there” and thus easier to fall prey to. Depending on how precise your measurements are you could easily drop significant digits or add random noise, especially if you do large scale changes.

these specialist banks are not worth much, there is no retail banking advantage to having tech companies as clients. the individual people who run the companies are most likely already wealth management clients of the same banks that might acquire SVB.
I used to build PCs. You can get the same hardware for nearly half the cost of pre-built PCs like HP or Dell. I did a lot of research on the best bang for the buck parts and the most reliable parts. If something broke, just pull it out and replace it. Easy.

I worked in an IT department as an intern. I thought this company should build custom PCs for all their workers. You can get a much faster CPU or much faster GPU for the same price! It's a no brainer!

Then I realized that if I wanted to build custom PCs for all the workers, I'd have to provide support for all of them. I'd have to be as good as CDW, who was supplying the company with PCs. This means next-day repairs and replacements. Drivers. Security. Firmware updates. For hundreds of PCs.

Needless to say, a lot of people under appreciate all the things that vendors like AWS or CDW provide. They think they can do it because they know how it's done. But they're ignoring a lot of other factors that can come back to bite you.

I'm sure you're very competent at managing server hardware. But if I'm a seed stage startup, I'd politely decline your offer.

I toured the UK for two months last summer and never paid more than 60 GBP per night and in many cases under 40 GBP. Granted that none of those included evening meals or alcohol but some included breakfast and an evening meal and a beer isn't much extra.
I doubt most recreational users are using it at anywhere near the same strength or with the same frequency, however.

We're talking the difference between 2 and 200 milligram doses of THC here in terms of how it affects people on these levels. One comes in a soda at the store down the street from me. The other you can't get like that and might send your average recreational user to the hospital with a panic attack.

I'm wondering also if one of the big factors here is oxygen deprivation. These sound kind of like the same kind of numbers of cognitive decline that you see in air pollution, maybe just generally clogging your lungs with smoke could be comparable.
Saying that "bank reserves are useless" is clueless. This bank needs liquidity and borrowing from the Fed would provide it.

What exactly is an “Environmental Feature?” I would think Antarctica has multiple.
It doesn’t work like that, these banks didn’t fail because of exposure to particular industries. They failed to manage their IR risk just the same as every other American bank. Now they will all be in for some serious pain. In 2021 it would have been considered fringe economic theory for rates to hit 5%. Most economists would have told you it was more likely to be at -1% now.
You're disagreeing but I dont see the conflict between your claims and his.
I don't think they have any shortage of patients in rehab. There is already a steady stream of them. Rehab counselors are often former addicts just trying to help others live through what they did. It is not exactly a way to get rich.

It's a lot better than most, that's for sure. But I still don't understand why they have all these arbitrary usage rules like the maximum of three websites. I look at fonts like tools. As a dev who also does design I should be able to buy it once and have it available as a tool at my disposal.
I am one of the people who can't use nice notebooks (or nice lumber) and always saves the best for last.

It has nothing to do with what I paid, everything to do with how I perceive the quality of the consumable material.

I can, and do, use my best quality tools without any qualms. It's using up "precious" (quality) materials. (It's silly, does not serve me well, and I'm working on it)
>What if, and hear me out: we ditch the idea of a better replacement social network and just ditch the concept in general?

Why do "we" need to ditch anything? People are building it because they want to, and will use it if they want to. Or not.
You are correct, but despite the article's misunderstanding of HIPAA they are covered by it. The incident is being investigated by HHS, as opposed to the FTC who dealt with the (non-HIPAA-covered) GoodRx incident from like yesterday.

According to HHS incident listing[1], the are a Business Associate. This means they handle patient data because they are contracted to do so by a HIPAA-covered entity. I've never heard of Cerebral before (and hopefully I won't again), but that likely means that their customers are the hospitals.

If you miss payroll the employees are under no legal obligation to continue laboring for you and the clock for resignations starts ticking. Many will not bother with a formal resignation because it's not clear the company still exists in any meaningful way.

I've also worked at both startups and large companies where problems with the bank or payroll software delayed payroll a day. In those situations there's typically overcommunication about the steps being done to get it resolved ASAP so employees don't walk out.
Oh, that's not even close. It's closer to 500%
I take a similar but somewhat orthogonal approach.

Most of the time, any major features that require refactoring are usually around the data model and its representation in code (the existing control flow and overall flow of a request through the system is generally fine).

I will build out what I believe the new data model should be, and then just work front-to-back, updating any references and refactoring the shared state and responsibility into the new data model, clearly separating out concerns and encapsulating responsibility.

This method has proved itself time and again, and I recommend it to anyone who needs to make large changes to and existing code base. That is, start with how the kernels of data, state, and responsibility should look, and everything grows from there.
Social networks changed the world, and are now predominant in the world we live in. It's like when someone pollutes water. Our society and culture are water, and social networks are... pollutants. It's fine and normal and good to want to look at the superfund site that is our global culture and want to push social networks out of the very-toxic pollutant it happens to be, and into something we can all abide, even for those who only drink beer or use charcoal filters. Plus, you never know what the kids next door are doing with the water...
In hindsight they shouldn't have bought those MBSs, should have foreseen the coming inflation and the following interest rate hikes, and of course shouldn't have said those words yesterday.

However, sad to see what looks to be another government caused implosion.

- First, via the massive government stimulus COVID19 SVB got enormous amount of deposits in 2020/2021. They have to put that money to work, and the traditional lending it back out was not going to work, the market was already flooded with money from the government. So they sadly locked themselves in those MBSs.

- Then the gov finally reacts to their own stimulus and zero interest rates programs and they rapidly raise interest rates in attempts to lower inflation.

- And as a result, the MBSs that SVB holds are underwater in mark to market. Investments into startups fall, so no more influx of customer deposits into SVB. And finally, due to the difficult market (and VC market), all the startups are drawing down their deposits rapidly through their current burn rate. And SVB ends belly up.

>You're still relying on money being worth something in future.

Yes, and that's why this basic pension can only be something guaranteed by the state. In case of war or massive devaluation or change or currency, the state (maybe not even the same one under which "rights" were acquired) can guarantee these things (and will want to guarantee them, in order to preserve the pensioners from poverty).
Sorry I didn’t make myself clear. I think it’s entirely possible cannabis causes problems. I’m saying this study has successfully narrowed down reasonable associations to make direct cause more likely. But this also means if it is caused by another factor, we can use weed use as a signal for whatever that other factor is with high confidence. It’s multi use in that way which is helpful to establish. It shows evidence that people who are smokers of weed now either are doing damage to themselves or have potentially significant issues they need to address because something is doing damage.

Banks are tech companies now?

It's not a solvency problem. The bonds are valued based on when they mature, not what they fetch on the open market.

It is a liquidity issue, which means the money is there, but they can not access the money in the amount of time they need it by.
Apparently not all penguins are equal.
Weirdo billionaires can't buy a decentralized network.
I know you're being silly, but there's an interesting observation there.

Silvergate's failure doesn't affect BTC on paper, yet Bitcoin did go down.

SVB's failure doesn't affect the USD on paper, yet the dollar is down today[1].

All currencies, fiat or otherwise, are affected by catastrophic events in their ecosystem. The folks having a good day today are the precious metals.

[1] Although to be fair, there are a myriad of factors at play in FX, whereas Bitcoin probably has few. However, "bank failure" and the US Treasury announcing they are monitoring some small and regional banks, doesn't fill one with confidence.
At that point, maybe businesses will stop caring. Especially in an era of cost cutting.
You literally cannot just transfer the money anywhere if it's money meant for a business. In many countries, just transferring that money to your personal account would be illegal. And many banks won't allow you to open a business account and directly after transfer millions of funds to it, without a long process of due diligence (AML/KYC). There is also a bunch of anti-terrorism (funding) laws that might prevent things from being done in just hours, especially during the weekend as many (most?) banks are outright closed during the weekend.
Even Solid and Preact are OOP in nature since JS closures are how classes are represented in JS.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Classes are in fact "special functions", and just as you can define function expressions and function declarations, a class can be defined in two ways: a class expression or a class declaration.

The difference is that React functional components are effectively "parroting" FP and half-in (stateless components) and half-out (hooks). Solid, Preact, Vue are all-out.

Fun fact - versions that you can download from GF for self-hosting aren't necessarily what GF actually serves out.

Nothing is set in stone and the choice is not all one or the other. The US being so large means different regions can experiment with different things (I wish there was more of this). Plus, cities are somewhat like living, organic things. NYC made Times Square pedestrian-only and that's widely been viewed as a success (and there's more biking than ever in NYC in general last time I visited).

I live in a fast growing area where the city is actively building greenways and has started to encourage a lot more dense, vertical development strategically around certain areas. Construction is happening one way or another, why have yet another urban area sprawling in every direction?
It can be difficult to weed out the useless information on the subject.

If Germany can reduce its gas usage, it will certainly help the situation. I hear that BASF is exploring moves of operations to locations with better access to cheaper gas such as China.
