Then you're not the target audience. Nobody goes to Chuck E Cheese and complains about the lights and noise.
> The only interaction I ever had with live chat was clicking on it to remove it with uBlock, if I want to chat with a salesperson I can go visit a shop.
I regularly interact with support on DoorDash, Amazon, and my bank using live chat, instead of having to get on a phone call and get put on hold.
> Notifications? Not really necessary.
I use a pinned tab for my email, which provides in-browser notifications for new emails and calendar events, so I don't have to install a third-party native app from some random developer (whose installation requires admin access to my machine) just to read my web-based email.

this is still a violation of the law. you cannot download copyrighted material against the terms of the copyright holder (like downloading a movie or album).

here's their ToS, which is pretty clear about what you cannot do: https://help.nytimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014893428-Term... (relevant parts below)
Without NYT’s prior written consent, you shall not:
...
(2) use robots, spiders, scripts, service, software or any manual or automatic device, tool, or process designed to data mine or scrape the Content, data or information from the Services, or otherwise use, access, or collect the Content, data or information from the Services using automated means;
(3) use the Content for the development of any software program, including, but not limited to, training a machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) system.
...
(5) cache or archive the Content (except for a public search engine’s use of spiders for creating search indices);
other way around. useEffect is for side effects (hence the name) and are _not_ needed for "syncing" state with props.

i have a csv with one million rows. should i load the entire thing into memory and render 1m * column_count dom elements?
> Another argument of mine[0] would be the definitions that have been introduced by react. Component, state, hooks. It seems like we have forgotten about what they are actually called, and its function is in the context of programming (functions, variables, events, etc.).
a Component is a Component because it represents a node in the React tree. not all functions are Components.
state is state because it's more than a variable - updating it triggers re-rendering. a normal JS variable does not come with this reactivity.
hooks are not events. they are wrappers for reusable logic.
you keep saying this but you have no data whatsoever to support this claim.
"Although there are accessible statistics of seizures at the federal level, it often happens that the totals of forfeitures from both criminals and innocent owners are combined; for example, one report was that in 2010, government seized $2.5 billion in assets from criminals and innocent owners by forfeiture methods,[16] and the totals of assets seized incorrectly from innocent owners was not separated statistically. Further, since the United States is a federal republic with governments at both the national and state level, there are civil forfeiture seizures at the state level, which are not tracked and recorded in any central database,[12] which make it difficult to make assessments, since state laws and procedures vary widely."

uh no, school-age children (including elementary school children) are the ones who pay the most for our gun-happy culture.

no changes.
the whole point of this style is to remove all irrelevant information.
here's some from the past month (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&page=0&prefix=tr...):
"Climate change is overhyped in my view"
"While local climate change is always with us, the reality of global change is lacking, and the projections have been pushed out year for year over the last forty years now."
"Does it really seem reasonable that our little human technology, an infinitesimal fraction of the energy at work in the Solar System is making a huge difference?"
"I immediately know the article is trash the moment they start blaming global warming for how hot or cold it is today rather than broader weather patterns. The upper and lower bounds for temperature at a given time of year are far more dependent on geography. It's trivially easy to see that all this "record breaking" is just recency bias, not global warming."
"Climate has been changing since earth got a climate."
"I think it's unwise to constantly associate normal temperature fluctuations with any threat to civilization"
it really hasn't. the art that you see in museums are all examples of ideas and forms that broke the mold.
> When everyone can create art, art has no value
everyone _can_ create art today. art still has value.
> Value is always determined by supply against demand
if you view art as a purely capitalist enterprise. most people don't.
> The brutal reality is art really isn't valuable in the first place (it is after all an unnecessary and inefficient luxury)
art is both an expression and driver of human culture. much of our understanding of our species, our ancestors, and our lives comes from art.
because it's more socially acceptable to discuss these issues than it was 50 years ago...
what "explosion"? the only explosion is the right wing suddenly realizing trans people exist and turning it into a political issue.
have you considered that the reason you're seeing more about "trans kids" or people being more open about gender dysphoria because it's more socially acceptable to be LGBTQ than it was 50 years ago? or maybe because right wing outrage is profitable?
so i should buy a gun, use 911 as a recording system, buy a pair of good running shoes, and wear a body cam? but this guy who moved to the tenderloin shouldn't have to accept that he lives in a bad neighborhood?
> In a 1918 letter, a district ranger at Klamath National Forest wrote to his supervisor that the US Forest Service’s most important duty was to keep fires to a minimum, but “renegade whites and Indians” were setting fires “for pure cussedness”, not caring whether the fires harmed others.
> He suggested that the solution was “to kill them off, every time you catch one sneaking around in the brush like a coyote, take a shot at him”. He also suggested hiring a female missionary who had “gained the confidence” of Indigenous people to convince them to adopt settler theories about fire.

so still the people who colonized north america? you've turned this entire thing into a left wing vs right wing culture war issue when the article is just providing historical context. nobody is attacking the right wing in this article - not sure why you're perceiving it as one.
