The old saying "they've forgotten more about X than you'll ever know" is very true. A professional quite often has forgotten what it was like to be a beginnner, making them both very knowledgeable about a topic but also very likely to give dangerous advice to a beginner.

He probably did know it, it's remarkably simple. I can't remember how to format maths in a HN comment though to put it here.

It's the Online Safety Act 2023 and was going through parliament from 2019, I'm sure the moment it becomes sufficiently unpopular in the wider public we'll see the "2023" part gain more prominence. Starmer won't be able to say it's a bad idea, because he and his party have been supportive of it since, but there'll be the usual political maneuverings. I can't see people switching to vote Green because they suggested a digital bill of rights.

I watched the Tencent version after reading the books, and it's the first time I've been able to get properly engaged while reading subtitles.

My goto for showing the difference between the Netflix and Tencent shows is the Shi speech about bugs. It's an important moment, but the Tencent version does a much better job of conveying that.

If they provided a plausible way to sideload then they'd be on stronger grounds. It's the same as Stop Killing Games. Apple shouldn't carry the burden of hosting forever, but equally they can't just make something disappear forever.

There are a couple of key differences that I think could lead to a shift towards selfishness.

With the size of populations, there's less feeling of individual impact. If I don't do "my bit" then it's such a miniscule negative to society as a whole, it won't really matter.

We have a relatively new economic principle that if everyone acts in their own best interests, that will also further society's interests. That means there's no moral choice between what benefits me and what benefits others, I can always pick what benefits me.

These aren't universal, but are two simple reasons why selfishness could be more prevalent now than a lot of history.

In the highly educational show Cunk on Shakespeare, she's told not to wear gloves when looking at an early book since doing so tends to result in people being more heavy handed with the pages.

They're using satellite photography and a resolution of 10m to measure.

I think we should call them doubles

On the scale of leaders: not being needlessly cruel, trying to consider the impacts of policies beyond the immediate, and dedicating your days to ruling rather than enjoying whatever pleasure you pick makes him one of the "good" ones. Maybe that's a low bar, but even today not all leaders clear it and certainly we can compare to Commodus who came immediately after and the sources for which are similarly patchy, to compare.

He's right, the problem is everyone mistakenly thinks they're one of "we"

Just like the 4th of July, that most American of days

As long as the implementation still confirms to RFC 2795

To add to the list, in addition to the bookmarking system they have "quickmarks" which means to open this site I type "b hn<enter>" and that's it
