I think this might be what parent is referring to: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/sunday/audio/20187...

Although as far as I can see, the paper has not been peer reviewed yet (but it's also quite old)

They recently added support for it, but with the caveat that it will add an id to the end of the line.

Sadly I don't think the majority of the people are willing to pay. Getting things for "free" is so ingrained into how the web is, that it's too big of a paradigm shift now.

> I'm sorry that you're offended.

No no, I'm sorry, it was not the best choise of words. It's more that I'm perplexed by your naivety.

You freely admin that the police is the enemy of the people, the very police that's supposed to protect people. Now what makes you think that the organizations whose goal is to protect the state, and not the people would be any more benevolent?

Probably service workers. If the site has a service worker the traditional cache-busting hard refresh is just a normal refresh.

As someone living in an ex-soviet controlled state, I find it very offensive that you think the state won't ever use the data against a little cog.

They do. We even have a museum about the terror commited against the everyday tiny little cogs.

I've got student loans myself, quite a lot. However when I asked for them I made sure that the profession I choose is profitable enough that I will be able to repay them.

I'd never ask other people to repay it for me, not would I ask my government. I'm an adult and take responsibility for my actions.

Well, more proof that demagoguery works as usual.

I can say without hesitation, that that's a problem I'd like to have.

Besides housing, healthcare, and maybe barbers, everything is either cheaper, or costs the same as it is in most of Europe.

> sofware contractors

Contractors always earn more than employees though don't they?

> 30 (working) days of paid vacation > solid and cheap education > solid medical coverage

Unfortunately none of these are uniform across Europe. I only have 20 days of vacation, medical coverage is horrible, with 2-3 month waiting lists for even an MRI, and education is absolutely horrid.

I wouldn't even call them free, nor cheap: income taxes come out to about ~35%, and VAT is the highest in the world.

And to add on to that, achieving compensation above ~80k usd is basically impossible. With ~3 years of experience I barely get half of that at a Google L4 level equivalent.

I'm not familiar with BigBlueButton, but Nextcloud and Element both have a real (for profit?) company backing them, and they have full time employees working there. They're even hiring, with 7 and 8 job openings ATM.

I wish I could! I'm not preaching anything here, my own personal projects look nothing better than this, as I'm a developer, not a designer.

And even if I was a UI/UX person, I think this is a deeper problem than a patch could solve.

It's a bit sad, that even open source projects that are this big, don't have any cohesion of UI.

The whole things looks like as if every developer that worked on it just decided to randomly place a button for their feature somewhere. Well... probably that's what happened.

Unfortunately, until most OSS looks like this, it'll be very hard for them to gain ground over the commercial alternatives.

In some countries, voicemail is not a thing.

That you don't want to take part in a bullshit agreement that has no effect on anything. Why would it be better to pretend?

Looks neat, but a few thoughts...

The video is from January, what changed since then?

I still only see a Get early access option linking to typeform, and no actual download/signup.

> We plan to open-source it with the public release

If it'll be open source, why not open source it now?

Also, according to: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.

React was not even mentioned in the thread. OP mentioned integration Next with Express, not React.

Using Express and Next together is relatively common (or at least used to be): https://github.com/shdnx/next-express

> The RIAA just wants to stop a tool from being used to violate their copyrights because that causes them financial damages

But does it actually cause them financial damages? I highly doubt it does.

It also gives access to all that tracking data to a single company who in turn ma

- sell your data now - sell your data when they get acquired - get hacked - give your data to a government that would normally not have access to it

Ageism? Generally speaking older people are:

- more risk averse, less likely to join a small startup and prefer the security of a 9 to 5 job at a larger company.

- more experienced, and more experienced people require higher salaries, which a smaller company might not be able to afford.

Don't look for opression when there's none.

That's horrible, I agree, but... I don't think there's any company that doesn't do these. (at least if they want to operate in China)

edit: and not just China. What makes you thing Google wouldn't do this in the US?

> Telling people "We need to turn off your power for a couple days every couple months for inspections" is going to create a lot of backlash, no matter how good the reason.

Maybe not every couple of mounts, but they could probably get away with doing them more frequently than a century... Also, you can do visual inspection even without having to shut down power.

The numbers are a bit weird:

> Malaria kills one child every 30 seconds, about 3000 children every day. > Over one million people die from malaria each year

3000 deaths per day * 365 days in a year = 1 095 000 deaths per year

So basically no adults die from malaria?

> The exit strategy should be to enough of a lock-down to get rates very low

But if you get the infection rates very low, and reopen, the infection rates will go up, unless something fundamental has changed.

> it's not yet clear whether infection with the COVID-19 virus even makes a person immune to future infection.

If you don't become immune after getting the virus, how would you become so after vaccination? My understanding is that vaccines have a weaker version or a portion of the virus inside them, and your body needs to make antibodies. But if that doesn't happen?

The question I've never found a reasonably answer for is this:

Whats the exit strategy? What has to happen for this to end?

For what I've read there's a good chance this virus will stay with us for the long term, just like the flu. Waiting for the vaccine is kind of like hoping for a miracle, as it might not even work. So when will all this madness end?

I think parent was referring to this:

> Honestly thinking of going back to a notebook

I had a look at it a few months ago, and my impression is that while it's very powerful, it's not for the average user.

Heck, I work as a developer, spend a third of my day in the terminal, and I still wouldn't use it.

I have to admit, you've convinced me. I'm not a gamer, so I didn't have much experience with this.

My frame of reference was streaming services, where more platforms meant fever content on each, and having to pay more to watch everything you wanted. But if it is indeed this was with games, maybe multiple appstores could be the way to go.
