Not trying to be the troll, but this debate is missing the obvious retort.

> Why aren't we forcing the polluters to pay for the cleanup

Because then the manufacturing goes to China. It doesn't get cleaner, it might actually get worse. The pollution goes somewhere else. Economic anxiety (which is politically explosive, see 2016 election) goes up domestically.

What we need is effective regulation, not bureaucratic us-versus-them regulation. We need more engineering spending and less legal spending. And as a consequence, yes, we need fewer choices in consumer products and higher prices, and we need consumer safety laws that prevent offshoring from undermining all of that.

> if the client can sign the crypto challenge and initiate a connection

How can the server verify it's the same client signing the crypto challenge with the same private key?

> what does it mean for the client cert to be potentially invalid?

The certificate's signature cannot be verified. Assume a client decides to create a certificate and send it as part of the TLS connection negotiation. The server would reject it because the signature on that certificate isn't valid since the server CA did not sign it.

> What could lead to that case in the system you're imagining?

Someone who's trying to access my account (assuming news.ycombinator.com requires a client side TLS certificate as part of the authentication process) tries to forge the client side certificate. If the certificate is self signed, how will the server know it's from me versus someone else? How do we maintain the association between a particular client and a key pair?

> Under what cases would you either a) not grant a CSR in the first place

For someone creating an account, there would be no reason to reject the CSR. For someone trying to add another device with a different key pair under the same account, not being able to show they have access to the first device would be a reason to reject it.

If we're talking about an account at a bank, a CSR could be rejected if the person is unable to establish that they're the actual account holder (through some form of out of band authentication like a bank official checking my drivers license and passport).

> or revoke a cert your CA signed?

If someone decides to delete their account, then revoking the certificate used as part of the authentication process would be the appropriate course of action.

There isn't because geopolitics of US pushing blame based on total instead of per capita emissions (nevermind historical) would make US look retarded - the left doesn't want that taint.

The best programmers I've worked with swore at their coworkers regularly, but never in their code.

>>The Federalist wasn't an actual legal document, it was just the opinion of a few people (not even all of the founding fathers)

What???

While sure it is not legally binding the Federalist are looked to by historians and even the courts to understand the original context and intent of the constitution, No different than when courts look to the debate around a given law when they are attempting to understand what Congress meant when they passed the law.

Further in this case Federalist 41 was written by Madison the person that wrote the general welfare statement, to say that is the same as citing a NYT Opinion is the height of idiocy

Further still I am strict *orginalist*. meaning I do not engage in the idea of "living document" and that the words should be interpenetrated as they mean today instead they should be used in the context of 1776. I and other orginalist do this by citing sources for that time period such as the Federalist papers to understand what the ORIGINAL MEANING of "General Welfare" was at the time it was written.
Theoretically it aligns the incentives of the founders with those of the VCs putting new money into the round (eg the founders are OK with the company taking more risk, because they have diversified their personal net worth somewhat). Now, the incentives of the VCs putting new money into the round, there's certainly an argument that they don't always benefit society or deliver the best possible product...

I’m telling you that there are subjects that you should prefer domain-specific reading to in contrast to obtaining all of your information from Wikipedia.

Some of it is straight up wrong, or edited by people with particular editorial priorities.

In the case of religious readings from Wikipedia, much of it written from the secular perspective is straight up wrong. You could simply ask an educated, practicing Jew about Judaism and be more informed. They’d obviously be a practitioner anyway.

In the case of these so-called “Abrahamic” religions, the scriptures of said origin religions talk about false gods, yet some of the ones you claim believe in multiple gods. So which is it? Do you believe in the god of Abraham alone or not?

This is just a casual example of scriptural violation. It’s trivial to point this out.

You can’t be a serious scholar of faiths and consider such points of view without labeling them as syncretic religions.

It's just that you've evolved biological filters that "block" the swearing from getting voiced out as being presentable takes the priority? The way our society is progressing right now, such evolution seems to be the direction that we all will take eventually.
A lot of people reject political ideas (i.e., regulations) because they have an idealized love for our free markets. Meanwhile small profitable companies are going out of business to larger unprofitable companies.

It begs the question, how did the larger unprofitable company become large in the first place? It wasn't by delivering goods and services at a fair price, it was by currying favor with those already in power. The romantic view that to succeed in a free market you sell goods and services at a fair price doesn't hold.
It's funny because having lived through that, we all thought the implosion of .com companies that worked this way, during the .com crash, was a repudiation of this strategy. But it came back within 10 years, and stronger.

I also remember clearly that at the beginning of things with Facebook there was a strong sense from the press of "how the hell will this thing ever make money?" and big questions like that around the IPO. Hell, there was that going on for Google around their IPO, too.

There was a brief period from about 2001 to 2007 or 2008 or so when there was perhaps more responsibility to try to start on a more even revenue-earning foundation with sounder business plans. But that all blew up in the 2010s.

It's possible this was all tied into the massive cuts in interest rates, and QE etc after 2008 that made debt really cheap.

...

>Prodigy was upset that people were, by and large, using the free communication service they tossed on there just to have more content and not their weird Random Garbage You Don’t Need Storefront. And in many ways, that complaint has only gotten louder over the decades. Stop talking to each other and start buying things. Stop providing content for free and start paying us for the privilege. Stop shining sunlight on horrors and start advocating for more of them. Stop making communities and start weaponizing misinformation to benefit your betters.

I would like to add completion mechanics and badges to this list of things as well. Reddit is obsessed with 100% completion. It stops being a game and starts being work at some point.

> because the browsers were all so tolerant of malformed HTML anyway, and continue to be.

You must be young and not remember. IE, Firefox, and Safari were all tolerant of malformed HTML but in wildly different and sometimes utterly incompatible ways! HTML5 was like mana from heaven when it was released. It codified exactly how HTML should be parsed, especially in cases where the input was far from perfect. It is an error to handwave that away and does not validate JSX's behavior.

Speaking of which, HTML5 precedes JSX by several years. They CHOSE not to follow the HTML5 parsing standard. This means the imperfect markup you put in JSX gets a rendering offset from what is actually delivered to the browsers. Since browsers all render according to HTML5 parsing rules, JSX by definition misses the target.

To top it all off, JSX simply CAN'T fix this behavior. HTML5 parsing rules would break existing JSX-based apps.

You may love JSX, but it is unambiguously broken in this capacity. It's not about "purity". It's about consistency. And JSX fails this metric when applied to the actual web.

I won't be replying any further to this thread. Reading it back I had the realization that once we've gotten to the point where we're debating the meaning of the word "opinion" it is so far off-topic as to be useless to the discussion at hand, frankly. All the best.

We are (1), but to be frank the "payment" isn't enough. We need criminal liability for executives and board members. Apparently there's not enough incentive not to destroy public health for generations.

An opinion is a belief which is not itself objectively factual. Factual information can certainly be a basis for them. If we go back the advertising example, we could take two objective facts about advertising:

* online advertising allows consumers to learn about new products and services

* advertising incentivizes user data collection in order that it may be more effective.

From just these two facts one could easily come to a pro- or anti-advertising position based on their values and the relative weights they choose to put on each fact.

Yeah that's the error, as I interpret it.

One comment mentioned slander, which is illegal. Project Veritas in the past has committed slander, and lost the resulting defamation suit.

The response mentioned neutrality with regards to mocking Trump with an out of context video, which is protected political speech. It seems they're equating two instances of media reporting out of context, and saying that the response to those media outlets is not neutral. But they're not equivalent because one instance is illegal, and the other is protected. So I don't see where we'd need to apply neutrality in the first place.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong. What's your take?

I never write comments, and I think they typically have a negative correlation to quality (this code is so f**ed up, plain english is, of all things, more clear and precise than code!). Unless you are releasing code publicly, and you are documenting the public API, I've never seen a valuable comment. I've seen plenty of harmful comments. However I wholeheartedly endorse using this otherwise useless but common language feature for swearing.

I think swearing in comments indicates you are unburdened by bureaucracy and pointy haired bosses (because they prohibit such things), which would certainly lead to better code.
