The difference vs the rest of the web is so stark, I don't read the sites linked by HN posts anymore. I just read the HN comments.

It's not just size, but also JS execution time, reinvention, poorly, in JS, of features the browser has natively, and endless modals.

Light takes different amounts of time to travel down the stretched vs squeezed tube.
So can we call each other chummers now?

Does WebVR work yet? Last time I tried it in Firefox, it showed a stereoscopic image on the screen, but nothing in my Rift.
Ponies didn't start until late 2010.

I fucking hate the modern web.

Re:GDPR: Removing Monal from the EU on Thursday May 17, 2018 @04:58PM (#17095701)
Guessing: even if you don't have assets in EU, you have a Google (or Facebook, or Amazon) account, and Google has assets in EU. EU could ask Google to ban you, or else.
Good to know I'm not the only one to think of this: a phone app that asks what you want and then orders you around. And when you tick the online box, it optimizes over the population of all online users. For example, it might suggest places and times as to increase chances of serendipitous encounters.

Now the incentive is to keep the user on the site longer. Excessively long articles?
But then why would you harass a bot?
I don't understand. Why would you ask a random website chat on a date? The chances that you're anywhere near her are nil. Do you intend to fly out to meet her? What is happening in your head, random visitor?

I find it exciting how well on track we are for the cyberpunk dystopia.
For me, it's the other way around. I find a piece of technology that I want to use, and then, sometimes, it comes with a new programming language I have to learn. For example, I didn't install Python and then wonder what to do with it. I was using Mercurial, had a need for a custom plugin, so I learned Python so I could write the plugin.
