The idea that Twitter is a "public square" was recently popularized purely to create the argument that it should be owned and/or heavily regulated by the government. The imagined goal of this is for Twitter to somehow no longer have a moderation policy and only follow by the first amendment.

This isn't the Supreme Court. They don't need to be consistent and they are going to see past the pointless trolling.

Even on the latest Safari it doesn't work: 10.13.1 (17B48) with macOS: 10.13.1 (17B48)

Nothing about that page seems like it would stop Reader so I filed a Radar about it.

The natural reaction to that is that at least you didn't actually lose any money. If you were carrying around cash then that cash would be gone forever.

It may be the case that people need to carry around cards like they are cash. That is, to keep a card at home or in a bank box that's tied to some other account with emergency funds.

It does say something terrible about our current bank system that nearly everything takes a least day if not a week to process, but keeping around cash won't change that.

Another way around this is to just request a modern modem. I recognize that modem as an older model and, especially if it is having hardware problems, you can just call up AT&T and ask for their newer model (not sure if it is still the newest) 5268ACFXN.

If you're wondering why that page looks the way it does, well:

There's not much to remove. You install Flash on macOS separately and Safari will load that in as a plugin. It seems obvious that Safari will remove that plugin functionality on or before 2020.

In my own experience, people who speak Esperanto are more likely to be against the status quo of nationalism and tend to be against the imperialist nature of their own or other large governments. They tend to be for the free travel of people and against strict immigration laws. Those ideologies square well with political movements of communism, anarchism, libertarianism, etcetera which are usually on the fringes of society.

It is a much easier and possibly the easiest language to learn especially for those who already speak a latin-based language. In some cases, people can be thought of as fluent with a couple months of learning the language.

It's also not tied to any particular nation which makes it easier for people to adopt without feeling like they are just being taken over by another culture.

This is all to say that Esperanto is genuinely better as a second language for Europe and the Americas if not the world.

As make3 said, bandwidth can be important, but it's also becoming more-so the case that people have computers that only come with USB-C. Obviously not a dealbreaker since people can just buy an adapter, but it's an issue worth bringing up.

It would be against the interests of Google for people to subscribe/pay for articles rather than searching through Google News for ad-supported articles.

It's against Apple's interests to do anything that isn't device-specific and the same could probably be said about Amazon & Kindle.

That's not the same thing?

If you're interested, the Ukraine TLD is .ua.

To say they stole it from Ukraine in the same way they stole the .io TLD would mean that they would have to take over the entire country of Ukraine. Maybe the Russian government will have control of the .ua TLD someday.

Do you mean a Skype call? Because you absolutely can make a phone call or FaceTime video/audio call from contacts.

I've seen this a lot on the systemd GitHub Issues. A bug is reported, Pottering describes it as not a bug and closes it himself, then everyone else disagrees and says that it needs to be fixed.

Why is this on HN?

> By the end of the Tuesday, I had about 2000 new followers

That's the only time he mentioned a number of followers.

So you're saying that employers should introduce a price hike that they don't need to make so that it can prove your theory that it devalues buying power?

Some people just never notice certain parts of UI. There are millions and millions of people with iPhones and there is likely going to be someone who just learned about the camera-switching icon for the first time.

Plus, that same video showed people that you can use the volume buttons as shutter buttons which is something most people likely don't know about.

I can only assume you're just posturing because the size and scope of Flash and the size of scope of Flash's security problems are _way_ beyond just a DRM blob.

This is the YouTube link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0y0oXU8YNk

I haven't watched this yet, but I'm surprised there was another interview after the previous interview Lunduke had with RMS on the Linux Action Show did not go over well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=radmjL5OIaA

Essentially, Lunduke was still mostly an Apple developer at the time and got in an argument after RMS said he should just go work in a factory or in the woods and Lunduke said that he needed to feed his family.

Here is the full quote that the author is taking these quotes from:

> +Martin Kozub we have lots of IoT projects using Mir as a compositor so that code continues to receive investment. I agree, it's a very fast, clean and powerful graphics composition engine, and smart people love it for that.

> The whole Mir hate-fest boggled my mind - it's free software that does something invisible really well. It became a political topic as irrational as climate change or gun control, where being on one side or the other was a sign of tribal allegiance. We have a problem in the community when people choose to hate free software instead of loving that someone cares enough to take their life's work and make it freely available.

> I came to be disgusted with the hate on Mir. Really, it changed my opinion of the free software community.

> I used to think that it was a privilege to serve people who also loved the idea of service, but now I think many members of the free software community are just deeply anti-social types who love to hate on whatever is mainstream. When Windows was mainstream they hated on it. Rationally, Windows does many things well and deserves respect for those. And when Canonical went mainstream, it became the focus of irrational hatred too. The very same muppets would write about how terrible it was that IOS/Android had no competition and then how terrible it was that Canonical was investing in (free software!) compositing and convergence. Fuck that shit.

You're being down-voted, in part, because you're asking a lot of questions that can easily be solved by web searches.

It is certainly normal for startups to expect losses and only want to gain users, but it's not a sign of strength in themselves or their business model.

If you're trying to gain users at any cost then other businesses will take advantage of that desperation.

People can also "choose" no to pay for food and eventually die of hunger. To describe paying for basics like its a choice is highly insulting to those who cannot afford those basics.

This is not true: https://qz.com/761219/in-44-days-the-us-will-no-longer-overs...

The entire overview of the decision is in the article. Essentially, one piece of how the Internet was managed was handed over from the U.S to ICANN. The reason is fairly straightforward; the federal gov did not feel the need to manage this thing for which there was no need for them to manage it.

There is literally no reason to believe Chelsea lied about being transgender.

When you consider the current extremely negative views that the U.S military and the average Americans have against transgender people then it would be a terrible strategy to make up such a story.

Yep, it said so in the article. But it's also possibly going to have the effect of protecting the local industry.

That is all painfully obvious. What Velodrome is saying is not out of reach in the slightest. State and local governments could take plenty of steps to lower the cost of living.

They do exist in different forms. If you're on the level that's just above making a Facebook page then you might go with Squarespace or Wix which have WYSIWYG editors. Surprisingly, Dreamweaver is still a product that is updated(?) and used by many.

When it comes to the high-end, there are Mac apps such as Hype and Sparkle which are used especially for developers who want to create animated websites.

It's also the case that creating a webpage isn't the most important thing anymore. Many businesses only exist on Etsy and Facebook. The time when knowing what html is and knowing how Dreamweaver works meant you could make a living off of anyone who wanted to be "on the Internet" is kinda over.

There are different tiers. Some people can get away with using a CDN because they aren't that big of a target.

But it sounds like she is completely fine with walking away from these VCs. That she will just go to another VC that she likes and that she isn't "begging" at all.
