> 40 State Attorneys General Want To Tie Online Access to ID

Here's the actual title of the article, which is much more concerning than the HN title.

Ah, the quintessential Reddit experience.


Well to be fair Hackernews posts can get flagged too by the community itself where people then later talk about how or why a particular post gets flagged and discussion starts moving about the moderation/flag issues in HN.

(But this isn't to say that the fault's within the moderation community of HN which are great but just the issue which to me is imo that if many users flag a post, it can get flagged and the friction of getting it back is hard or a post typically ends up dying usually if it gets flagged in general imho)


There’s nothing subjective in the removal reasons.


That changelog is wild; it closes out dozens of issues that have been open on Github for 5+ years. I assume that's related to this being the first new major version in years.

Has anyone done any benchmarks yet to see how jQuery 4 compares to jQuery 3.7?


The game's container doesn't appear to scale down correctly on Chrome or Firefox for Android.

I can't see some of the UI buttons regardless of whether I toggle desktop mode or portrait/landscape.


> "... won't work well on mobile."


It seems to work fine on a scaled down desktop browser though, and the existing game UI should be suitable enough to fit on a standard phone screen, even if the text is a bit hard to read.

I think OP just made a small mistake with some of the CSS/JS that handles resizing the game window on mobile viewports. In some cases the buttons are outside of the game, and in some cases the game window isn't using up the full screen real estate.


Here's John's Reddit post about his discovery, which he deleted for some reason:

Nominative determinism strikes again!

You might want to consider getting rid of the Google product logos to avoid a cease-and-desist.


I agree wholeheartedly with this.

While "the classics" may have some educational and cultural value, many of them came off as dry and pretentious.

There are countless anecdotes online of people who loved to read books as a kid but thoroughly hated reading by the end of high school or college, which is a terrible outcome.

I think that English classes in general are far too prescriptive and narrow in what they assign students to read, particularly when it comes to fiction. They seem to adopt the attitude of "These books are well-written classics. You have to read them, and if you don't enjoy them then there's something wrong with you."

Forcing students to read specific boring material might make sense in other classes like History or Science where there are very specific facts that they need to remember, but the required reading portion of English classes doesn't need to be handled in such a rigid way.

I suspect that we would end up with far better results if we gave students a curated list of popular books and had them pick out their favorites to read rather than just telling them to go read Ethan Frome and write an essay on loneliness afterwards.


Plot twist: He just wanted an excuse to try out his new snowblower.


Yep this is me. I get super pumped whenever we get a snowfall large enough to justify pulling out my ridiculously overkill snowblower.

The entire block on both sides plus the alley gets done those days. Neighbors here at first were skeptical since I guess it’s not normal (it is in Minnesota - every block there has a hero) for the big city, but now I get treats from various houses that catch me doing it.

I honestly do it for the pure joy of using awesome equipment I could otherwise nowhere remotely justify purchasing. Plus knowing I’m helping out my community in a small way is a nice bonus. Also helps me meet people and be social as an introvert.


There’s more of this than you might expect. First time I got to turn on my new Toro I went the entire way around the block.


The other side of the equation is my now dead toro had me covered in gas, frozen fingers, and plenty of swearing, with an itching desire to light it ablaze in the middle of the yard.

Tis the cycle of snow blower ownership.


I have a firm suspicion that blowers last a number of seasons, not a number of runtime hours.


That's my take as well. Years 1 & 2 are always flawless, 3 may have a few situations and 4/5 start bringing the swearing causing problems.

Naturally, I don't maintain it very well throughout the years, but always mean to. I'm sure mine needs a new carb / cleaned, but happen to have lots of cabinet work going on in the shop where it's warm and oil/gas isnt happening there at the moment. Maybe on a "nice" day I'll rip it apart outside.

Or already eyeballing a new 'husky'!


That’s just an excuse to upgrade to the new hotness!


Plausible. When I got a new trailer for my bike that could haul 300 lbs I just wanted to find someone who needed a sofa moved for free.


can you blame him? guy has a Bobcat!


The YouTube equivalent is SponsorBlock:

And the smart fridge equivalent is either PiHole, or.. not buying a smart fridge.
