so the US needs to catch up with unionising and good employee protection laws and he will pay them extra too. Tesla is a business and as with any business they will pay the minimum they can get away with.
How do they know they are HTML before they open them?

Also, I read in plain text. If you want me to read it in HTML format, include a link to the web version and, if I'm interested, I will actually click on that - which has the added benefit of putting me on your site.

Not many do that. 'If you want to read this in HTML format, click this link.' That works and I may very well click it.

Edit:

Never mind. I see they speak of unstyled HTML email, not plain text email. So, the email is still HTML, it's just not pretty. Chances are, I won't notice as I read in plain text most of the time.
What was the risk there? Why would explaining be a battle? Was he a complete jerk or high in company? I dont know everything about codebase I own either, some parts I barely seen despite owning them and some I have seen but forgot what it means. So I mean, I would not mind if someone learned parts of it I have barely seen and gave me tldr.
Once, after submitting take home assignment, my application was rejected because the project didn't comply exactly with their requirements. The project they paid for exactly zero. That was truly infuriating experience.
Probably because that's called forgery, and if they were caught doing it it would be a much bigger deal than not getting their money from that transaction.

In scenario 1, fraudster is also getting paid, ties up members of your team attempting to train them, and your timeline of getting an actual hire is pushed out until the company figures out they messed up. Seems worth the effort to prevent.
> They are also supposed to be entirely accurate.

This displays a really distorted perspective of the Supreme Court's role. The Supreme Court is supposed to get the law and the facts of the case right. If there is an error there, that's catastrophic. But the adversarial process is designed to ensure the accuracy of the facts and the law. By the time a case gets to the Supreme Court, the assertions in the briefs have been intensely scrutinized by the parties and typically two lower courts.

Facts about the world outside the briefing, on the other hand, are mostly irrelevant, and relied on for color or their common-sense effect as necessary to flesh out the reasoning.

The background check quote is a good example. There, the Court wasn't even necessarily accepting the 88% number at face value, but cited it for the common-sense proposition that private employers regularly require background checks:

> The questions challenged by respondents are part of a standard employment background check of the sort used by millions of private employers. See Brief for Consumer Data Indus. Assn. et al. as Amici Curiae 2 (hereinafter CDIA Brief) (“[M]ore than 88% of U. S. companies … perform background checks on their employees”). The Government itself has been conducting employment investigations since the earliest days of the Republic. L. White, The Federalists: A Study in Administrative History 262–263 (1948); see OPM, Biography of An Ideal: History of the Federal Civil Service 8 (2002) (noting that President Washington “set a high standard” for federal office and finalized appointments only after “investigating [candidates’] capabilities and reputations”).

The legal question here was whether it was Constitutional for the government to require certain disclosures. The Court noted that where acting as an employer, the government has more latitude to intrude into private facts than when it acts as the government. It then reasoned, because private employers often require background checks, it was reasonable for the government to do so as well. Whether 88% or 53% of private employers required background checks was irrelevant.

Indeed, if the exact number had been determinative, the Court likely would not have cited to an unvetted amicus brief for the point.

> It also isn't a surprise why the general population would prefer deflation over inflation.

Nonesense. The general population is cash-poor, and is largely in debt. Inflation makes their debts easier to pay off.

Most of the wealth the general population owns is not in their bank account, but in their partially-owned house, their car, and their education. Deflation does not increase the relative value of any of them.

They fired the U.S. employees, they didn't fail to give them raises. Obviously they thought the minimum they could get away with was to not have the employees at all. Not sure labor laws would fix that.

I haven't signed my cards in years. I know they technically say they are not valid unless signed, however it's not a problem around here: on the other hand, many stores will not sell anything with only signature validation any more (PIN+signature was never a thing here, and with PIN your card is not in the interests of cashiers).

Office of Bad Ideas: Yes, Nuclear Landmines Were a Thing
The difference between fiat and bitcoin is that neither the IRS, nor my landlord, want to be paid in bitcoin.

There is a large, guaranteed demand for fiat, in the form of taxes. Everyone you transact with, at the end of the year, pays taxes.

There is no large demand for bitcoin as a currency. There is demand for bitcoin as a store of value. It's economy is largely speculative.
6s doubled RAM from 1GB to 2GB. The CPU was almost twice the performance as well.

I was rather annoyed by how smooth my wife's 6s was when she upgraded versus my (then) year old 6 Plus

FWIW, my current iPhone SE is a 6s with a lesser camera, 4" screen, no 3D Touch, but it's just as zippy and smooth as my wife's 6s (which is buttery smooth with iOS 11).

In fact some benchmarks show the SE performing better than a 6s or 7 in certain cases. Fewer fancy hardware bits to schedule work for, maybe?

It shouldn't be posted on Mastodon itself, but they should just set up a simple static blog somewhere. Medium is the opposite of Mastodon in so many ways (centralized, heavy data-collection, etc.) that it really makes no sense for them to be using it as their official method of making announcements.
These arguments always seem empty to me.

You don't have a photo perfect copy of a one dollar bill stored in your brain? Clearly your brain is not retrieving stored information and making calculations with it.

This author seems to get caught up in overly specific things (your brain doesn't have buffers or models) and misses the forest for the trees (our brains in some way are capable of storing information and the processing it and doing things with the processed information).

Consider me unconvinced.

Blueberries contain antioxidants! LOL
Personally I think the data, if not the studies are readily available, it’s just impossible to have a conversation about diet and nutrition. For example, look at this thread and you would think all you need to do is have 1 person run a treadmill for 1 hour drinking tap water and day 2 repeat the run with coconut water and boom...a legitimate study that “superfoods” are a myth.

Continue in this thread and you will note comments, for no reason whatsoever, emphatically stating antioxidants don’t exist. But just to preemptively dissuade a dialogue a suggestion people who believe antioxidants exist also believe their consumption will prevent all cancer...somehow no middle ground exists. Such is my experience discussing diet.

I find it’s not just with healthy foods and diets, but one can’t even discuss the correlation of diet and obesity, chronic inflammation, cardio vascular disease, heart disease or diabetes...at least without someone linking to a McDonald’s, Twinkie or ice cream diet where the subject lost weight. In fact I recently had a professor argue with me here on HN that the development of fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes in children (formerly adult onset diabetes) was unrelated to sugar but rather some mystery variable which hadn’t been discovered because children hadn’t been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes prior to the 1980’s and he ate a ton of sugar growing up in the 70’s.

History and entire populace’s of people can serve as the data. Look at the historical diet in Okinawa where they once had the longest life expectancy (but not since the introduction of western diet post WW2) and you will find nutrient/vitamin dense but low calorie foods, foods that are anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant rich, promote healthy liver and kidney function (detoxification). The concepts are not dissimilar to the Mediterranean diet, which also promotes health and longevity, while the foods themselves are dissimilar. It should come as no surprise that these are the same conclusions you and darktree seem to come to with your own experience, only you are focusing more on the macro side of things. I think what you are finding is you are healthy when you maximizie vitamin/nutrient to calorie intake, remove/minimize refined sugar and carbs (both inflammatory and insulin production triggers). Within that framework you can have foods (diets) as diverse as historical Okinawa and the Mediterranean diet, it just so happens food labeled superfoods also tend to (but not always) fall within the same framework.
Because it had to! Germany has a very good business vs workers balance. People forget that ultimately businesses are here to help society, not to make a buck. Making money is a side effect.

Germany works to balance the 2 and when they get out of wack they work to fix it.

Coming from BS3+jQuery, BS3/4 was confusing or obtuse to use the jQuery dependent parts with VueJS (modal being a good example). Most BS+VueJS libraries were incomplete or broken somewhere in the VueJS 1 => 2 shuffle. Bulma was not confusing, it's JS agnosticism being the main reason.
I'm often overwhelmed by the size of the JavaScript language; it's a big language (and I'm coming from mostly working in Perl which is also a very big language...but it is dwarfed by modern JS in terms of TIMTOWTDI and in terms of core language features). But, every time I learn about a new feature, I can't fault them for adding it. It's usually a clear improvement in terms of readability and capability. And, because it's such a widely used language there tends to be a lot of input before new features are added. They are rarely half-baked once they reach the standard.

So, I agree it's overwhelming; books about JavaScript from two years ago are already out of date on a lot of fronts. But, it's also resulted in a really powerful and concise language.
Can you please elaborate what is discriminating about the photos/FAQ contents?
That's very true. In many cases, that's even _perfectly fine_. Not every organization needs enough physical security to deter a determined attacker. The ones that do hire people like Sophie (or me), and take the lessons to heart. Even if the organization doesn't make changes to their physical security posture as a result, they know what to be aware of, and they know where their weaknesses are.

A lot of our security--both network and physical--is based on the illusion of security. One of the most important things that penetration testing does is to make organizations aware of the issues, to put the bug in their ear to remind them that security is important, and shouldn't be an afterthought. We see lots of organizations make material improvements to their security as a result of red team exercises. We also see a lot of organizations that don't. It's disheartening when that happens, but I like to think I help make a difference. The next data breach might be mitigated by our recommendations, or even prevented entirely.

> Your other comment about NFLX makes you seem suspiciously and hilariously like a sock-puppet account so I can't actually be candid on that now.

I really wondered why they didn't mention POWER at all two weeks ago in the blog post. And now this post allowed me to raise the question. I'm curious what you think I represent for me to be a sock-puppet.

I cannot prove it, obviously, but this is just a throwaway account of a single person who doesn't represent anyone and definitely isn't paid to participate on Hacker News. Neither am I employed by any large or well-known organization to have some kind of intent. I'm just a programmer who wishes we had more POWER machines just like Raptor is trying to achieve.

I did feel uncomfortable asking the question as it might be obtrusive and thought I managed to word it defensively enough. Sorry, looks like I failed :).

That's encouraging to hear, although sounds like I would need to be the operator of a video hosting or cdn network or HPC cluster before I could request a consultation with engineering executives. I'm most excited you have good relations with Chelsio since I love their NICs and FreeBSD drivers. I couldn't care less about Intel NICs tbh.
I offer no comment the GP, but an example springs to mind for where where a "liberal" ruling was based on a factual error - US v Miller (1939)

The majority opinion stated:

> In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.

In fact, "trench shotguns" were issued in WW1 and at the time of the ruling, which standard barrel lengths of ~20" - and were often shortened further in the field. Further, shotguns with barrels of <18" were standard issue elsewhere in the world and were used by US cavalry throughout the Civil War and into the Indian Wars in the latter part of the 19th Century.

At least Ontario has increased the price for 1 million litres of water from $3.71.

The popular assumption that future wars will be fought over water is overblown when you consider water prices like this. I couldn't understand why the government was basically giving the water away, so I was happy to see the price increase to $503.71 per 1 million litres. Although the article says it still costs more than that to manage the ground water.

As of August of 2016, in B.C., the price for 1 million litres of water was $2.25 -- which is ridiculous. Hopefully that price will go up as well.
And you'll remember it and talk about it.

Interesting detail is that the, for American market created, Chevrolet SS was basically a rebadged Holden Commodore built in Australia. Together with the Dodge Charger, it was the "cheapest bang per buck" performance sedan with a V8. Although the Charger still for sale, the Chevy SS died with the closure of that plant making the 17' model year it's last.

Am I naive to think that in a business setting, problems should be constructively confronted proportionally to the extent of their damage potential directly with their author? Wouldn't the business be able to grow more efficiently and be able to keep a peaceful environment free of backstabbers if people could accept that everyone makes mistakes, that they don't really matter as long as they are fixed quickly, and that they are all learning opportunities that can become valuable assets? I feel like am I throwing buzzwords around and that to some extent I have always heard this in a form or another but for some reason, never seen it put into practice.
First of all you have to understand that private property in Scandinavia and Iceland works differently than it does in say the US. It's more appropriately phrased as a "limited land-use right", and the land use is always for a particular narrow purpose.

So for example, if you buy a farm and put a fence around it I'm still free to walk across your property to get to where I'm going, because farms are intended for farming, and as long as I'm not unduly interrupting that you have no standing to stop me. I can also set up a tent overnight on your farm as long as I don't unduly bother you, i.e. set it up too close to your house, I need to pick up all my trash etc.

Now, back to your question. During the summer the sheep wander around and graze on any grass they can find, and due to precedence going back to colonization (where everyone who mattered was sheep farmer anyway) if you'd like them not to do that it's your responsibility to set up a fence around your property, and of course the sheep are likely to start eating there first since sheep are lazy and go for the easy pickings first.

But this only applies to sheep, not e.g. cows, and that's entirely to do with ongoing lobbying not just by the farming industry, but people in rural areas that hold disproportionate sway in parliament.

There are successful reforestation efforts going on in Iceland, but most of these are in park-like areas near municipalities. There's not enough money being spent on this to fence wast swaths of land.

But yes, you could of course buy land, fence it off, and start planting trees on it. But that's expensive and not very lucrative, so very few farmers are doing that to make money.

There are big national parks, but they're almost all in areas that would be the last to regain any topsoil, i.e. in the highlands around glaciers.

I ended up getting an iPhone SE to save money ($175 credit for my iPhone 6 Plus helped). It's a 6s with a lesser camera, 4" screen. Runs smooth as butter.
