Does anyone have examples of use cases where the target audience would care or even notice a landing page without JavaScript?

What efforts? There is no reason to weigh things differently. Hate speech is removed via an algorithm, it costs them nothing to weigh hate speech equally... Actually it's probably easier to design an algorithm where everything has the same weight.

I don't know about your views or any of the opinions you are referring to obviously, so take this as benignly as possible. Have you questioned that what you perceive as discriminatory may have a far left bias?

I don't think you ever get a good answer to that because the answer is ambiguous. Asking why "Democrats" or "Republicans" do anything is asking about a straw man. Many individual voters will have a nuanced opinion about all of those questions. The way a lot of the questions are phrased presupposes Republicans don't care about those things, which I suspect is probably wrong for most.

I think many of those who identify as "Republican" or "Democrat" don't examine most of those points in any detail at all and just simply vote down the ticket. Their opinions are probably not going to reveal any useful information.

For the rest, my guess is its probably a fundamental disagreement about what government should be responsible for. Voting for the government to further some cause is inhertanly voting for parts of it's implementation. I think my libertarian bias is leaking through.

Brother has good Linux support from my experience. The drivers installed easily on my fedora machines and printed perfectly. When I installed the printer in windows it spit out 20 sheets of gibberish. Never thought I'd see the day when a printer worked better on Linux.

And generalizing half the population in the worst way possible is definitely what's best for the country.

The proverbial golden caviar

IF migi be a good took for some to help lower their calories but weight loss will always be dependent on calories out > calories in

I think by that time we'll have figured out how to safely store or reuse Pringles cans. Then we can apply the same method to nuclear waste and all of our problems will be solved.

Maybe they can progressively make Pringles cans bigger so you can store your old cans inside your new cans.

In my experience the worst part of digitizing photos is the time it takes to load the scanner.

I have about 300 slides I'd like to digitize and on something like an Epson v550 you can only load 4 slides at a time and scanning each slide takes about 3 minutes each. Negative strips can be even worse if you try and manually select each frame. Retouching is easy in comparison as Lightroom auto functions do pretty good on most photos.

If you can design a loading & scanning system that can process as fast as you can audit/retouch photos it'll make the process a lot easier. Even automating the loadin and letting it run overnight would be nice.

This is just for normal people photos. If you're a photographer you're going to scrutinize each photo even more and you'll either require a lot more time to retouch or much better software & hardware for scanning to get the color accuracy, sharpness & automatic scratch/dust removal.

I like the idea but I don't see how being Javascript free is a good value proposition here. If I'm looking to hire or find additional information on a person, the way the page is implemented won't be important to me (especially if Im outside of the tech industry).

This is my experience in the US, other than elections not being held on Sunday.

It's funny that they thought a $10,000 a week rental made it any more affordable than the $800,000 price tag. The Venn diagram of people who can afford those is a circle.

We take a lot more walks and see a lot more neighbors as well. We even had a socially distanced happy hour with another family in the front yard.

I think a return to having a tightly connected neighborhood would do the US a lot of good. People may pay more attention to what's happening in their town and local politics which could help change things from the ground up.

Most importantly though, I think tighter neighborhoods would help people see those they don't agree with as actual people with more in common with them than not. As Thomas Jefferson said, "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."

As an aside, I have been thinking about how much I would love to be able to buy an empty lot in my neighborhood to open it up as a community space to bring people together outside of social networks.

This is true. I should have stressed the "while you're new" part and added "say yes but communicate when you're overloaded". After a while you'll start to see the good projects from bad ones and can stategically keep your mouth shut when someone pitches them.

When you are new, say yes to everything. Stay busy, if you have nothing to do, ask for something. You want to take the load off your team members where you can to contribute & build some clout/respect. Find the most knowledgeable team member and shadow them.

Real jobs are just college group projects that never end.

I did the MDN Django tutorial and then modified it to create a personal blog. From there I wrote some simple scripts at work to monitor machines. I then combined them into a Django app.

Find a project that is similar to a tutorial you've done. At first you may not stray far but with enough time you'll be combining concepts and creating things of your own.

The Corolla and the Cessna 172 are the world's most manufactured car & aircraft respectively. Toyota makes more Corollas in a month than the total number of Cessna 172s ever made.

I bought their ultralight single person backpacking tent for $25 on clearance and it is surprisingly solid. It looks like a Chinese REI rip-off.

Edit* not part of their new line obviously but shows it's not all junk

"We're all in this together..." Except you, because you're laid off.

I agree, but I see the upvote button as a weak form of that. Good comments & those within the echo chamber rise to the top, but comments "outside" the echo chamber still stand a chance to be seen and considered on their merits. Also, the authors are not as discouraged to comment in the future which keeps a better diversity of opinion.

Perhaps upvotes and responses should be weighed similarly. That way garbage/spam can be ignored and fall to the bottom while discussion is still promoted.

I don't understand why HN even needs a downvote button. We've all seen what having one turns into.

If that is the case then they could communicate that plan a little better. At the end of the day it's their fault if people don't understand why they are taking the actions they are.

Back when memes were just called "image macros". Something Awful is still going but there is nothing remotely funny or new there.

I was working in manufacturing after getting a degree focused on quality assurance & management. I started to hate the work and the fact that my employment was dependent on a large company in a field that was moving outside the US.

Ive always been really fascinated by computers. I'd built plenty of them but never got into the software side and had no idea how it worked. I started teaching myself on the job by starting projects that I could accomplish by programming. That was 2 years ago, now I am on a datascience team doing my work in python. I started teaching myself when I was late 20s.

"“You don’t need college to learn stuff,” he said. The value is “seeing whether somebody can work hard at something.”

He added that “colleges are basically for fun and to prove you do your chores, but they’re not for learning.”"

I tend to agree, more so with tech than with subjects like medicine. I think institutions will catch on before long that degrees are not all they have been cracked up to be. We need a less costly method to prove people can follow a deadline and collaborate with others.

That's opposite of my experience, although I am not flying until September. I booked a flight from JFK to Athens and back for around $400. The day after I booked (earlier this week) alerts were almost 2x as high. I wonder if I just got lucky.

Chilling. To put your life on the line for the people of Europe and the world really takes something special.
