The word "cool" has been cool since the 1920s, and it's still cool today. "Cool" has outlived "hip," "happening," "groovy," "fresh," "dope," "swell," "funky," "bad," "clutch," "epic," "fat," "primo," "radical," "bodacious," "wicked," "ace," "bitchin'," "smooth," and "fly."

I feel like a core problem is that they don’t know what they don’t know, so they’re not interested in reading a long blog post about how standards really work. Can they be helped? If so, how?

This is more of a meta question, but, IME I encounter a lot of newbies posting irrelevant stuff on standards-related GitHub issues. They usually seem to think that by clear, forceful arguments they can force browsers to do what they ask. (XSLT 3, for example.) How best to help them?

I think restricting it to home screen web apps could be ok if there were a way to ask users to install to the home screen. Something like the App Store smart banner would be just fine. But on iOS the user simply has to know how to do it, a multi step process, and only then can we offer a push prompt

It's interesting how monopolies are not only sustained by cutting off competition, but also supporting others (without endangering market control) in ways that appear altruistic or pro-competition--making it harder to unwind

I think asking in public was a good idea, but now that this article is out there, and flagged, and now that you've posted a followup, I think it's time to email HN and ask. The story will be much stronger with an addendum: "I emailed Hacker News asking about the flag, and they declined to comment."

I did a bunch of research into this for the definition of Baseline, and we settled on “30 months from the newly available date.” Would you want more precision? What would you use/need the precision for?
