He claims this is why, but if you're the chief spokesperson for a company that can't get past a safety and reliability scandal, I think it's just he was asked to resign.

It's not government. The same incentive structure for businesses matches better to loyalty cards.

The paywall is stopping me from learning Herzog appreciates the Fast and Furious franchise as much as I do.

If a city had more than 300 million people even subways wouldn't be enough. Maybe Asimov-inspired mass treadmill walkways (imagine massive things like airports but increasing in speed as you get further from the sidewalk).

I've not met someone upset about the technical term. It's possible, but it doesn't minimize slavery (more than any technical term minimizes something by making it technical), slaves only follow the master.

I highly recommend telling pollsters you'll be voting Libertarian, as that will help them get into debates. Someone should be on that stage saying drug laws are wrong. Edit: vote for whoever you want, I just think the debates will be b

As a non-React developer: forms, before React, were actually super simple. The author mentions they forgot how to do forms the normal way, but like, can you imagine how excited they'll be by the simplicity?

This is by far the most important thing for HN to learn about this. The default level of self deception on this front is enormous.

I think we all want this to be a technical glitch, but I think that's not the case. This policy was made to appease an authoritarian government, and extending beyond their borders by design.

To be fair, the cosmological constant is a fair stab at a guess for dark energy. Like, space has an intrinsic property N that's allowed in the equations. That's a decently shaped guess.

There might be an important social good in treating Nazis and trolls pretending to be Nazis the same - fairness, at the very least, and a desperately needed bulwark against people only pretending to be pretending to be odious.

Strange tattoo example (and Google-able). Boggles my mind why someone would want to identify so strongly with Nazis, but obviously I strongly agree that we should receive those signals. What a bunch of idiots.

Yes, it turns out we disagree.

I think political bias at FOX can diminish their reporting substantially. But government propaganda truly is a different thing. It's as if you are comparing a natural disaster to a genocide - yes, the issue with both is that people die

Whoever is running the proxy can also get a subpeona. If you run it yourself the ISP will know who you are. Someone is paying to access the internet, so they probably have records.

I mean, 230 doesn't entitle them to immunity to subpeonas for records about which IP address made a comment, and internet providers routinely translate those to real identities in response to valid legal requests. But that might work.

by hawkice 7y ago
Plenty of people have complex opinions about 230, but it's a law that says, if you see a comment that defames you, sue the person who made it, it's got nothing to do with e.g. whoever runs the skateboarding forum. Who opposes this

It would be good if they expanded their COVID-19 response to more trips booked in advance of the pandemic. I had something booked way in advance, starting April 15, and they still want me to be on the hook for a stay in a country no one can

Wow, we have come so far from the Ebola response that it has literally become inconceivable there would be more active international cooperation. This doesn't bode well.

In the meantime, countries are closing their borders and isolating more than even the most regressive and backwards-looking people could have dreamed of a year ago. Almost no country has a response plan that has anything to do with any othe

What does this random minor github discussion have to do with the submitted title? I'm on mobile, does 'foldl' appear on the page on desktop?

Probably that if someone wants to make cheap lifesaving medicine they should have an easy way to do that instead of a Kafkaesque hellscape to navigate, but I'm not sure that insight generalizes beyond "make good things easy".
