Someone in his position cannot afford fallacious thinking like that. Or so one would think.

Is Europe getting their own space shuttle? That would be a wise idea.

> Meanwhile, Google Tag Manager is regularly popping up on Government sites. This means not only that governments can study you in more depth - but also that Google gets to follow you into much more private spaces.

The corruption of the system knows no bounds.


Was this text generated by an LLM?

> That's the vocabulary of business hype.

And I don't think that's a coincidence either. “Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself”, do not trust an LLM you did not train yourself.


This article should be pinned to the top of HN for the next 10 years or so.

How could an LLM even decide whether facts are presented in a balanced way? Someone at Law360 seems to believe in a magical oracle.

Bunk. Nobody expects you to do unpaid work. Just don't make the game depend on the availability of your server, or other forms of planned obsolescence.

I don't understand the expectation of being able to play a multiplayer game forever.

I can still play multiplayer Doom, multiplayer Warcraft 1, and many, many more. Seems eminently reasonable to me.

Then don't. There is a growing number of single-player games that want an internet connection and even an online account.

Wow, that Video tab looks gorgeous. I still don't understand yet how it's actually done.

Thanks! Do you mean how the glass or how the video background is done?

The background.

So you need a video HTML tag with all of these attributes: <video autoplay muted loop webkit-playsinline playsinline sizes="100vw">

and the CSS: .bg-video { position: fixed; z-index: -1; inset: 0; width: 100%; (don't set this to 100vw or you will have scrollbar issues) height: 100%; min-height: 100vh; object-fit: cover; object-position: center; pointer-events: none; }

The part I still need to do myself is provide multiple video sizes and show the one that's most suitable for the viewport.

Oh great, yet another tag you need to add to tell mobile browsers to do the right thing instead of fucking with your website for no reason.


Aren't there also browser APIs for location services? I imagine this functionality could be possible with a web app.

Edit: What I don't know is whether a web app running on iOS could do the equivalent of a push notification. Last I heard, WebKit's functionality is/was? limited here. That might be a reason to use a native app after all.


The tricky part here is receiving notifications in your proximity while the app is in the background. Native apps can request permission to track your location at all times, but I don't think that's an option for PWAs.

Ah, got it.
