Is that only a function of the number of individuals targeted by a group of warrants? What determines "group membership" of a warrant? It seems like it actually is hard to determine, both for the legal system (there are many contr

Does this imply that the tech company has the moral obligation to evaluate the merits of each warrant on a case-by-case basis?

I mean sure. Winning a war is also sometimes seemingly necessary to achieve peace. And violence is sometimes seemingly necessary to replace a dictatorship with democracy. In this case, it looks like they're awarding her the prize for h

That seems like an impression you may want to update given the years that have passed. Hooks are coming up on 7 years old, and weren’t a breaking change anyway. IMO a better description than “one of the frameworks requiring regular updates”

Is that so bad though? The major alternatives to React are close enough to React that a competent React dev won’t have much troubling contributing. If you need to hire an expert in Vue or Svelte or even React, you should probably put that i

React often gets lumped into general JavaScript hatred of the form “the entire ecosystem of tooling/frameworks/libraries changes every few months.” That’s despite React existing for one third the lifetime of the World Wide Web. Re

There are plenty of criticisms of Web3, but this doesn't seems like a particularly valid one. What could the people who designed the relevant blockchains and smart contracts have done differently to prevent one marketplace from becomin

Islands probably have some runtime performance benefits, but the dev experience and build-time complexity is probably just as high or higher than most JavaScript SPA setups.

Then you watch someone use Hey.com for 10 seconds and realize that it's kinda embarrassing to have a worse web mail client in 2025 than Gmail was in 2005. And you probably actually do want a JavaScript SPA if you want to match Gmail&#x

I’m not sure you’re describing a different scenario, since I don’t think anyone was ever only concerned about a future where there’s a 100% chance of a launch being prevented by debris.

There’s not a huge difference between zero and one, other than whether someone’s around to comment about it on HN. And even a second wouldn’t really tell us more about the probabilities.

I'd go with "legal," which also implies possible.

The bit about aggregation is interesting, but it's not clear to me what the performance characteristics will be for very popular accounts. Presumably Justin Beiber's repo cannot be expected to handle 100 million WebSocket connecti

The privacy concerns are obviously valid, but at least it's actually plausible that me giving them access to this data will enable some useful benefits to me. It's not like some slot machine app requesting access to my contacts.

Indeed, but it is odd that it’s apparently only these Haribo batteries with this design. I’d expect them to be white-label products that many companies resell with their own branding.

But you’ll only ever see the “sacrificial layer,” and never see “real layer,” right? So are you only concerned about protecting against major functional breakage? Or maybe only concerned about resale value?

Isn’t that how inverted joystick controls in modern video games work too? It’s only the Y axis that’s inverted, I thought (and only the “viewing angle” joystick, not the “player movement” joystick).

Yes, that's precisely my point. The technical merits are substantial relative to the previous generation of UI libraries like jQuery. If a team were seriously deciding between React and jQuery today, I hope someone would bring up React

This is mostly just a complaint about how good React is. It's so good that it's difficult for the technical benefits of alternatives to outweigh the social benefits of choosing React. Note that this is neither a major compliment t
