This is like suggesting cars' days are numbered because skateboards have become extremely popular. Sure they technically are competitors in some extremely narrow ways, but suggesting so belies a misunderstanding of the underlying uses of each.

This might be hard for you to believe, but there are a lot of people who have genuine and consistent empathy for needless suffering, no matter where it happens. You might not hear from us much online, because we often get crushed under the relentless cynicism your comment chillingly embodies.

When something negative about China is posted: "Everyone does it!"

When something negative about the US is posted: "Downfall of an empire!"

When a Javascript logging package has a vulnerability: "Why do you need a package for something so basic as logging? This should be part of JS core lib, or just roll your own."

When a Java logging package has a vulnerability: Sober introspection about the role of maintainers, dependencies, and backward compatibility in the OSS ecosystem.

OP asked a simple question and did not say "crypto is the primary existential threat we face". Crypto's environmental impact is a valid concern.

But aren't most Americans' biggest asset their house, aka real estate? And their savings is their 401(k), aka the stock market?

Nah, the UI is not very intuitive, so there's plenty of blame to go around :-)

I just use JSON and related tooling instead. Because YAML is a superset of JSON, all yaml parsers also parse JSON.

Tell that to a parent of a kid who wants to play Fortnite on their iPhone. Make no mistake, this isn't a matter of consumer choice. Whether or not people trust Tencent/Epic, they will install their app store because they want to play their games.

If Epic/Tencent forces iOS users to use their app store to play Fortnite, there will be no luring of users based on lower prices.

They will just (effectively) all move over and (effectively) none of them will read any warning text.

God only knows what companies like 100% Tencent owned Riot Games will have running on millions of Americans' phones once they get the elevated access an app store requires.

Would totally make sense - when visiting .co.uk sites!

Just to share the American perspective, it feels like this: Many people speak English, and thus it is difficult/impossible for people from outside the US to discern the difference between domestic and international services. (Not saying Google is a domestic service obviously.) Through historical chance, we don't have the luxury and benefits of a native language like many of you reading this right now.

Honest question - how can you tell the difference between "English speaking sites" and "American sites"? Since English is currently the common international language, when an American creates a site or service for a domestic audience, anyone around the world can still come visit and read it. But how does one know if a service is meant for a domestic audience?

We've all seen services launched by American companies, with American employees, American VC money, that only work within the US, and are only offered in English. We've also all seen how these companies get criticized by people around the world that the service doesn't work in their country and their language. From the American perspective it seems like the rest of the world feels they are automatically entitled to services created here. Even if the stated plan is to eventually roll out to the rest of the world.

This behavior is stunningly obvious when a Chinese or Indian company launches an interesting new product or service for a domestic audience. In those cases, it's hard to find people upset that the service only works domestically or doesn't work in their language. This is because those people aren't falling into the logical fallacy of "American = English = International language = International product".

As a good faith question - if you were an American, how would you create a site or service for a domestic audience without insulting the rest of the world?

p.s. This is a side question non related to this article specifically - obviously google is an international product.

I am not sure how common this is, but my domain registrar does this for me. In case someone else is looking for a simpler way to do this.

This is disingenuous. NTP is not a platform to spread destructive hate speech.

And the Dell is $500 more

Is there a difference between ≤ and <= in Raku? Curious why you used ≤ in your example.

Source? Are you talking 1BR or 2BR? I would put this number closer to 25-30% [1].

My understanding is that action-oriented multiplayer games in browsers have always suffered because they can't use UDP. How does this achieve multiplayer from a networking perspective?

Cringe moment of the year when the glass broke

I am not sure tbh, I don't know enough about the situation you speak of. The text of the amendment is pretty straightforward though, I would give it a read and it should be pretty clear what situations it would apply to!

I have read the bill.

It sounds reasonable to me.

Isn't the whole point of the disinformation campaign to make people vote a certain way? With this in mind, altering votes _directly_ by hacking voting machines isn't necessarily the problem people are worried about. It's indirectly changing votes due to the foreign assistance/misinformation, which is illegal under our system. I think it's a reasonable concern and we shouldn't ignore it, just because votes weren't changed directly by hacking. A law that requires campaigns to disclose to authorities if they receive illegal offers of assistance is sensible IMHO.

> Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) also asked for consent to pass legislation that would require candidates, campaign officials and their family members to notify the FBI of assistance offers from foreign governments.

> McConnell also objected to that bill.

Make up your own mind.

It's wrong no matter who does it.
