parent's comment seems to denigrate the site itself by associating it with someone named Hancock (who I have non idea who that it is). The article doesn't mention this individual at all. Two things can be true:

• something (an object, a site, a finding) can be amazing

• someone can have over-indexed on how amazing that thing is ahead of available evidence.

Language matterd because this type of guilt-by-association induces a backlash on studying existing evidence and investing in further evidence-gathering (whether supportive or falsifying) efforts. Scientists are all too sensitive to stigmatised or even potentially-stigmatised (watchword: 'controversial') topics b/c their career fundability prospects from grants are at stake.
How is this any different that starting a legal weed shop that also happens to sell to people that are addicted to it? I knew plenty of people when I was younger that would spend so much in weed every month that they couldn't make rent.

If we are going to support legalizing drugs (which means the choice to destroy your life), we also need to support legalized gambling.

This was only the case in Tailwind 1 and heavily discouraged by the documentation, except for development.

Tailwind requires a build step and shipping the 1.x development build was explicitly not meant for production.

Trying to use tw 1 like this without a build step, you can't even define a custom color scheme.

If this is what you want, I'd use a library that actually supports this. Maybe tachyons? But tbh, without the build step I'd consider using Tailwind at all a massive mistake. Then I'd prefer handwritten CSS.

Custom properties should make sth like this a lot more viable though. I'm sure there are libraries that better fit this use case, if you want to use a CSS library.
Sure, that's a good amount of stuff.

But that's not really got anything to do with injury rates yeah?

If it's China that did it, they're in a world of hurt from the UAE.

DP World owns most of the major ports globally. It's absolutely massive and a critical part of the UAE's larger geopolitical strategy.

They operate the Antwerp Port, Le Harve Port, Qingdao Port, Hong Kong Port, Tianjin Port, Mudra Port, just about every port in Australia, Saigon Port, Karachi Port, Vancouver Port, Manila Port, Busan Port, Laem Chabang Port, etc.

They are the backbone of global logistical infrastructure.

DP is owned by Dubai's royal family (Makhtoom). If AD Ports properties were also hit (owned by the Abu Dhabi royal family - the Nayhan's) it's game over. Whichever country did this would be de facto blocked from UAE, and the UAE is critical for Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and Indian FDI.

I am very happily listening to UX thoughts from people who specialize in UX.

What I am decidedly NOT happy with, is the frontend using as much, or even more, internal logic, magic, and build steps as the actual business logic.

To put this another way: I will happily listen to an interior designer on his thoughts about the color of the drapes. But if he tells me that this color means he has to bring his own crew of stonemasons, carpenters, and electricians, because somehow that color requires massive changes to the architecture and power lines of the house, I am going to grab a piece of cloth that vaguely has the color I want, and make the drapes myself.

I’m not able to make a page look nice (or even decent) without a CSS framework. But I think I’m at least OK at understanding how to make the interactions and workflows follow the “Principle of Least Astonishment”.

In other words, I’m not scared of UX in general, just not confident in my current abilities in UI (which is just one aspect of UX).

I think there are some other benefits of tailwind. Say you have a set of css classes for different components.

Then say one component on one page now needs to be styled differently.

You have 3 options:
1. Create a whole new class which duplicates much of the previous class
2. Create a smaller class which is intended to override some rules from the first class
3. Factor out the common styles into smaller classes.

All have some maintainability concerns, but taking the 3rd option to the extreme makes the problem non existent in the first place.

That’s the real strength of tailwind. Preventing a critical mass of one off styles from making your whole css setup unmanageable
> I want to find a job where I feel fulfilled or at least a hobby that I get actively excited to do. Maybe start my own company based on the above.

I'm probably reading a lot into this but we are strangers on the internet, so here goes:

I think you're conflating passion with productivity. They are two separate things. Fulfillment and passion do not necessarily overlap with productivity and profit. Please do not use HN as a basis for reality, we are not representative and we are certainly not a useful indicator of how to live.

If you are seeking a passion, do not add requirements onto it, that's just scope creep. If you try and remove those additional bits from your thought process, you might find that you already do have something you're interested in. Or several even.

You do not need to be energetic about it either, again I think that's a bit of the productivity FOMO creeping in. It can be a waveform of increasing and decreasing interest, that's completely OK.

Enjoy things at your own pace, that is all. If you realize you enjoy something mundane, that's good enough. The things you're interested in are for you to be interested in, and not for others... so don't be disappointed if it's not something usable as a party conversation filler.

Yes. Archeologists are often frustrated they can't get funding or enough time at specific locations, not a huge cabal thathas access to the world history abd hides it from everyone. And most discoveries are much more mundane (even though still exciting IMHO) that what people would expect, as you said.
I agree in principle that HTML is the best option for a good user-experience, but it quickly breaks down in terms of developer-experience and maintainability. However, we don't need to compromise on either by using a solution like Qwik[1]. Where the page progressively becomes more interactive with JavaScript, and doing as much work as possible on the server beforehand.

> Ah, there's the rub.

It'll have a range of ~90 miles. Since motorcycles all have pretty similar weight and aerodynamics (specifically: very bad), you can compare different models with the same power pretty reasonably.

The efficiency of the battery, electronics, and motor are all >>80%. If they were lower, they'd be on fire. The difference between 80% and 90% efficient is only 12.5% extra power to the wheels. The actual energy lost is all in the drag and the speed you ride- even the weight doesn't matter much because the tires don't deform nearly as much as car tires, while the air drag is actually about the same as a sedan.

For comparison a gas motorcycle will get 150-200 miles on a tank, but even that is very very dependent on how you're riding.
> Apple paid taxes according to the laws that Ireland had at the time.

The TFEU/Lisbon Treaty is law in Ireland and the allegation is that the deal between Apple and the Government was in breach of Article 107, which regulates State Aid.

The ultimate arbiter of whether the deal was lawful is the CJEU. Until decided there, it is uncertain whether Apple acted lawfully.

> The issue is not that Apple did not pay taxes according to the law, it’s that the laws themselves were incompatible with Ireland’s other obligations.

This just fundamentally misunderstands the relationship between member states and the EU. The EU Treaties and subsequent Regulations (although not Directives, which must be transposed into law nationally) are actually laws across the bloc. Not foreign treaties, not state obligations, but actual laws. Furthermore they take precedence over national laws and can be enforced by the bloc at a judicial level.

In addition, whether the Government of the day gave assurances of lawfulness or not, all large enterprises know that only the courts can actually decide whether a deal is lawful or not. This is the same in most democracies, including the US.

This excites me but I have a few thoughts about some of the unique constraints that come into play when riding a motorcycle vs driving a car. One big one: transmission.

As an American, I'd had the occasion of driving a manual transmission car a handful of times in my teens. Outside of that, everything has been automatic.

The vast majority of motorcycles are manual[0]. A few things become apparent when you start using a motorcycle for a long commute. The first is that you're going to have a few incidents that you can only conclude "you could easily have died if you'd done something differently". You have to be paying attention to escape paths, especially during rush hour, and you're subconsciously focused deeply on what gear you're in and how the bike will respond to the throttle given those conditions.

I've found most of the time, choosing acceleration over braking is the safest approach. For the most part, while a bike's stopping power can be less than a car, a bike can out accelerate almost any car on the road and has the advantage of size. One commute home a driver completely blew a red light at a point where braking to avoid him would have been impossible; I hadn't thought to brake, though, because I knew I could accelerate across the road before he could hit me and given the gear I was in, I could tweak my speed in both directions very easily with my right (throttle) hand (ready to brake if needed, but it wasn't).

Engine braking to control a turn is kind of how you manage the turn[1]. It becomes muscle memory, including adjusting given the gear/speed. Electric vehicles don't (usually?) have "gears" and I'm guessing those that do wouldn't behave the way that ICE transmissions do owing to the different motor characteristics.

Bikers really care about this stuff. I can't think of anything more controversial in the motorcycle world than "ABS" and "Combined Braking" -- both safety features, but both of which take some control away from the driver and alter "how the bike behaves."

I found it a little funny that they point out the top speed ... it's far more important to know how well it accelerates (and it seems to handle that just fine).

[0] I remember there was one automatic model available (in 2011) "that wasn't a scooter" except it was a scooter. I think it was a BMW bike and I have no idea if it's still made.

[1] If you're not a rider and equating it to riding a bike ... you'll get a surprise your first time. Turning, for new riders, is a challenge (with the general rule being "look at the place you want to go, not the ground, dummy!")

Look, you have never met me, and I have never met you. We are unlikely to ever work together, which is, maybe a shame. I'm sure that you are talented. Unfortunately, that is not obvious, from this discussion.

If you want to find out about me, before lobbing insults my way, that's damn easy. I don't hide anything. Just look at my HN profile.

Ireland didn't want Apple to pay either, as they wanted to be able to keep doing this sort of deal.
This argument is unsound: CSS already takes that into account. All of the units (px, pt, mm, in, &c.) are, for screens, defined in terms of a reference pixel, which is the visual angle of one pixel on a device with a device pixel density of 96dpi and a distance from the reader of an arm’s length. https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#absolute-lengths has some more explanation and diagrams that demonstrate what’s going on.

No, the reason why it’s customary to boost the font-size a little on larger screens is because otherwise things start to look silly because you’re using such a tiny part of the space available to you, and you have a larger viewport, so you can increase the size a bit without losing too much from the screen at any time. But if you take it too far, it starts to look silly for different reasons, because it’s unreasonably large (and more importantly, inconsistent with common practice).

(Also: 16px = 12pt.)

The article makes it seem like we'll see some huge thing, but we don't. Some of the photos have tire tracks, and the change in ice is like the size of a few cars - that's not really much.

I'm not saying there isn't a change, but these photos certainly don't show it.

Cosmetic is cosmetic, someone likes the way it looks, pays for it, receives the cosmetic - IMO no different from buying any vanity item in real world.

Paid upgrades/equipment/unlocks that give advantage to a player in a otherwise free to play game is a shitty spending-fest design that I avoid getting into, maybe unless the spending ceiling is very low. Still, I wouldn't see it as a gambling because there is no randomness involved.

The moment game devs add loot boxes though - well, IMO this shit should be banned. Especially when it's stupid obvious that there is no randomness behind the scenes.
>With standardization -- how is a battery swapping network any different from a gas station network?

Because if one bad actor screws you over (e.g. a faulty battery that lies about its charge status), then you're potentially out thousands of dollars. Saying "with standardization" glosses over possible decades of cracking down on every dipshit that passes off dodgy batteries and makes thousands of dollars a day.

Also, you need lots of extra batteries everywhere, to swap with. Hopefully everyone has the exact same form-factor of battery too, vehicle design flexibility be damned, because otherwise you'll need multiple stockpiles of batteries.

Also, making batteries modular is expensive and adds weight, which reduces practical range.

Battery swapping also doesn"t have a good path to adoption, since it's capex-heavy and at first is operating in a world where nobody uses it. In contrast, EV charging infrastructure is everywhere as long as there's a power socket.

Also, adding a charger for your swappable-battery car costs pennies, so lots of people won't even use their car's battery a swapping feature (which is really bad for battery swapping outlets). If most people only use the battery-swap at Christmas and $HOLIDAY, then the networks could be underprovisioned during those spikes and overprovisioned in the other 363 days of the year.
It’s a next step toward life expanding beyond Earth and into the universe, and not just human life because we carry a ton of passengers along with us.

It ultimately comes down to whether you think that is good.

BTW I too am skeptical about Mars but for wholly different reasons. The Moon makes far more sense for a first step for numerous reasons, and beyond that I think settling space itself would be better than settling down in another gravity well. Become truly and permanently spacefaring.

None of this helps climate change though. I consider them unrelated issues.

I consider the reasonable range of body text font-sizes to be 16–20px, but I recommend 16–18px. (On small screens, you should exclusively use 16px; the larger values are for larger screens where it can be warranted and I would almost always recommend it.) This is what just about everything is calibrated against, so you cause trouble by going much out of this range.

HN uses 12px. At 25% below the range, this is significantly undersized, and 120% scaling is about the minimum I can tolerate (though I don’t find myself going up to 133% for some reason, which I might have thought I would do, but I decided I didn’t like it).

The site in question uses 25.3px. At 26.5% above my proposed range (and 40% above my recommendation), this is significantly oversized.

If your eyes are straining at 70%, which reduces it to 17.71px, something’s wrong, probably in your setup—because that’s generally still at least 10% larger than all the rest of the text in your OS! (Linux/Sway: Firefox UI seems to be largely 14.667px with a little 15.4px, and this 14.667px seems visually to match other apps.)

No, creata is correct. This site’s text is very unreasonably and troublesomely large, and even shrinking it to 80% leaves it very mildly oversized.

(The lead paragraph is 32.2px, which does reach the point I would happily describe as comically large. The quote a couple later is 21.85px.)
A negative ROI (return on investment) suggests it won't pay for itself ever, be that in cash or carbon.

If you're actively trying to cool the building then painting it in something that lowers the energy needed to cool it. And as were just talking about paint, carbon and cash cost is likely to be low relative to savings.

So no, painting all houses in this stuff might not reverse global warming, but that wasn't what we were talking about.
> . They do this by splitting themselves into multiple shell companies, then play dodgy games of selling things to themselves at stupid prices: charge one subsidiary a few dollars for a missile and another $50k for a roll of toilet paper.

I was under the impression that the vast majority of it was via collecting "royalties" for the branding? Ie: a company's trademarked brands are owned by a holding company HQ'd in a tax shelter, and the parent company pays a licensing fee that just so happens to equal most if not all of their profits for the year.

It seems like it'd be pretty trivial to target via a tax on payments for intellectual property royalties to offshore corporations or a law that deems it tax evasion to pay IP royalties to a holding company outside the US for a corporation that is primarily operating in the US and Canada.
And it isn't even done in the example.
