Could you explain the reseller thing? The Gitlab people are on HN, why don't they just sell directly to the community?
The problem with shifting to socialism completely is lack of incentives. Also central planning doesn't work. Voting with money by what you buy has shown to be a much better planner than any government could hope to achieve.

What we need to do is change the mindset of what is considered a normal workweek. The shift from 7 to 6 to 5 days and 14h days to 8h or 7h days was also a change in mindset more than a change in political system.

In a capitalist system you also need the mindset of most people to change at the same time. I mean a lot of things that we need for living that have a somewhat constant demand (rent/house prices, food, toilet paper, ..) will have the price at which profit is maximal. Which is why with the advent of women working you didn't have families with two incomes being able to afford twice as many houses, but families with one income not being able to compete with two income families to buy a house. The prices of necessities will always adapt to what people can afford.

If everyone switched to a 28h workweek at the same time, it wouldn't be a very big problem because all the other prices would adapt and you could afford the same basic lifestyle with a bit more basic luxuries. If you're the only one switching you can't afford a basic lifestyle anymore.
DDG as a search engine is just good. Its been my default for a long time. I wish Mozilla would make it the default so more users could be introduced to it. Why hasn't this happened yet?
Let me use this thread to lazily look for simple advice.

For privacy, I'm now using: DuckDuckGo Plus, First Party Isolation, Smart Referer, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Canvas Defender and Decentraleyes. There's also NoScript installed, but disabled (waiting for its clickjacking protection to return in WebExt version, although I might switch back to whitelisting JS sometime). Plus there's also Firefox's Tracking Protection enabled all the time.

Anything worth adding? Anything that can be removed for sure, cause it just duplicates something else from this list? Anything should be replaced? (if yes, then why?)

Most of the outcry is going to be from people who haven't worked in banks. Restrictions on personal investments are extremely common and if the article didn't have the word "cryptocurrencies" as a headline it would have gone unnoticed.
Interesting. I just tried using it on the tor browser (which comes with noscript) and you're right, it does redirect.

However when I access it on Firefox + umatrix with all js disabled, it doesn't.

I suspect I know what it is. Possibly noscript sends some header saying that the browser doesn't have JS which causes ddg to respond with the redirect, whereas umatrix just breaks the whole thing entirely.

EDIT: I just tried going to about:config and setting javascript.enabled to false, and indeed now I get redirected. This has significantly improved my view of ddg.
There's a strong tendency to divide the world into with us and against is, allies and enemies, for us and against us. Government, social justice, social media. It's as if we are trying to recreate a two party platform in every area.

And it's disappointing.

The same happened with James Damore. His points have been frequently misinterpreted, despite the careful language used. Only in a very crude sense was it an "Anti-diversity" memo; the thesis was Google should shift attention from equality of outcome gender diversity to other forms.

Peterson is an even more distinctive example because it went back and forth many times (and was a better venue).

I hope we see more people like Peterson. Not necessarily people who think the same as him, but people who have rational unallied perspectives.

How does the Safari extension play with the native content blockers like 1blocker? Is this supported? I noticed that with 1blocker enabled, the initial grade is usually higher than what it would be without 1blocker.
Not to mention the self checkouts, at least from my experience, need to be staffed as well. One person can maintain maybe 3-4, so it's not unusual to see half the self-checkouts closed.

Insurance companies don't think of "members" as just cost centers. They're a lot more picky around the concept of "hiring and firing" customers.

Put it in the perspective of a freelance web developer. If someone is going to pay you x amount of dollars to build a website, but cost you more than x in support time and change requests, you either have to up the price or not take on the customer.

The socialist nanny state at work? Do they also regulate what kind of car their employee is allowed to buy? What food they eat? To an American this is repulsive.
I find it very curious if they have the legal power to enforce this. If it is not in the employment contract then a prohibition like this would not stand. Sure, the employer could try to implement this but I am quite sure it is against their labour laws.

> What is JSON about it though?

"JSON" originally stood for "JavaScript Object Notation" - the restrictions on double-quotes and unquoted keys are arbitrary extras on top of that concept, but otherwise JSONML is, technically, another JavaScript Object Notatation for Javascript that is also a Markup Language.

Admittedly, the use of the term JSON these days implies that your syntax will be parsable by a JSON parser, which JSONML might not be.

To me python and perl and two extremes. Perl is almost comical with its use of special characters (which they've embraced even more in Perl 6 with the optional use of unicode symbols in built-in operators) but python went too far the other way IMO. "It looks like pseudocode" sounds nice in theory but people don't typically write huge projects in pseudocode. I don't really like the significant indentation but my main problem is with the awkward scoping rules. I also find that it makes it harder to refactor code (if I copy/paste a snippet at a different level of indentation I can't blindly trust the editor to re-indent it properly).

That being said I agree that these days the tendency across all languages is to go towards fewer special characters, not more. In this context Perl 6's syntax feels a bit anachronistic.

Maybe you'll be able to win a few new user by telling them that in Perl 6 they can use × for *, Ⅻ for 12 and [unicode atom symbol]++ (ironically HN automatically removes the actual symbol when I submit) for atomic incrementation but I expect that many more will recoil in horror. I won't even talk about »=» and the ascii equivalent >>[=]>>.
That may be, but it's still incredibly common. Look up the concept of LTV.

I have personal experience in customer service scenarios where people classed by 'the computer' with an LTV score below a certain value were not to be retained if they wanted to cancel our service (c.f. for a higher level LTV customer we might offer a promotion or something) and people with a score even lower were to be actively encouraged to leave if they reported any problems - even to the point where we were supposed to suggest they try somebody else rather than spending any time fixing their problems.

Granted, these were (allegedly) people who were actively costing the company money in that it cost more to service their account than the revenue they provided, but it was an automated decision made by an algorithm that the phone and retail reps just had to enforce.

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. How does Stokes' theorem in a discrete setting just amount to associativity?

(I wondered about the sort of discrete differential geometry found e.g. here https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/DDG/paper.pdf and here https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0508341.pdf but in that setting the situation seems to be more "Stokes' theorem is true by definition".)

I also use mail-in-a-box: https://mailinabox.email/

Honestly, after 20 years of using 3rd party services I got tired of being subjected to their whims and issues. The straw that broke my back was when Mandrill was taken over by MailChimp.

Not that there's anything wrong with MailChimp, my problem was with investing my time learning how to do things "their way" and exposing myself once again to a 3rd party's whims and issues.

It took me some time to go through all the necessary steps to get mail-in-a-box set up and secured but it was worth the effort and I learned a lot in the process and got a lot more than just email for my efforts.

And it was a lot easier than I'd expected. The mail-in-a-box team has done some great work on that project and the community support is solid.

I was at Google when they implemented something like this in their source code viewing system. If you see a typo in a comment, for example, you click the pencil icon on that line, which pops open an editor with your cursor on that line, fix the typo, and can create and submit for review a pull request right there. Less than a minute.

It is fantastic.

I'm so glad Gitlab is providing competition to Stash and Github. Nice work.

Yes. The compliance team at most investment banks will prevent individuals or members of their family from trading any instrument that the firm is actively trading in without going through a "waiting period". All personal trading accounts for the employee and direct family members must be registered with the compliance team. Banks employee independent investigators to ensure their employees follow through on these requirements; violations are a fireable offense, and I have seen multiple people fired for lack of compliance.

This is to prevent insider trading, among other things. Compliance issues with individual traders can result in massive fines for their employers.

Can't remember where, but IIRC they only operate at locations which can be reached from their distribution centers by a truck in the same day. I also recall that they recently opened another distribution center in Texas (which is why they are now opening locations there). So they are indeed expanding eastward, but it will probably be a while before they establish a presence on the east coast.

Those aren't mutually exclusive, this isn't as bad as the "currency wars" of the mid 90's where the US wen't crying all the time to the WTO about China at least publicly.

But China very much still controls the exchange rate of the Yuan to the dollar and still devalues it's currency in order to boost exports.
Actually you can. Companies in Germany don't have to be part of a union. My previous company was non-union, paid lower wages and had more overtime hours. Still they weren't profitable and they sold a few years ago to a competitor. My current company is unionized, and plenty of people still have non-union contracts (mostly lower management and up).

It's mostly big auto companies that are unionized. They know that a) They can't attract the talent they want with worse conditions than all their competitors, b) it makes it easier to negotiate, because you're not negotiating with every employee, only one union, c) it indirectly puts a cap on what they're paying engineers. Engineers wages would probably be much higher if the big companies weren't unionized. With the union, you get the same raises as anybody else, but on a higher salary level. d) They can just put you on a salary level that they deem appropriate and you don't have much way of rising up.

If you're talking about the Irish referendum's on Lisbon, it wasn't a vote until you said yes. The Irish initially voted no for many reasons but I can tell you that my parents voted no on the first one because they felt they didn't understand why it was needed and weren't sure what the implications of it were.

After the No vote, the government made a much larger effort to explain to the public what Lisbon did and they got guarantees from the EU as to interpretation of wording.

I think you could kuschku's suggestion that you need to get the population of each state on board before progressing. The turnout for the 2nd vote on Lisbon (which was a yes) went up to 59% from 53%. Looking at the vote from outside, it definitely seemed like people were much more engaged in the second vote than they were in the first.

I don't know why repeated votes would be undemocratic. There is absolutely no suggestion that the second vote was fraudulent. You're allowed to ask the same question of the population again once more information is available.

> This may be true, but FOSS does not magically make it happen

All that is said is that FOSS is necessary to achieve this level of quality.
No one said anything about trusting an opinion or a presented fact, you should always do your own research that's the point.

On a more anecdotal side the people I tend to "trust" the least at least on the internet are those who often come out with citations for everything and dump a huge wall of text.

The problem with the internet is that you can find a citation for everything, I can find that enough citations that lizard aliens are actually the ones who control the exchange rate of the Yuan to the Dollar using a weather machine.

The credibility of sources is also extremely hard to determine these days especially in subjects which are not your primary proficiency it's too easy to publish anything you want these days even in reputable sources.

I don't see the quoted tweet as an pointless, negative objection at all. It's just pointing out the irony that a supposedly lineless store is so popular that people are lining up to get in.
The sites do not routinely call themselves out. Rather they acknowledge to creating fake stories once overwhelming evidence of such is presented and spread to the point that it can no longer be ignored. And of course such acknowledgements invariably come with appeals to plausible deniability in their own culpability -- which I think should become decreasingly plausible to anybody of the slightest bit of objectivty, given the regularity of such 'errors.' The only reason it might seem routine is that the sites you've named have all put out an increasingly large number of false stories.

However, we're not in "deep doo-doo" just because you happen to think these organizations have value. When we would be in "deep doo-doo" is if we became monolithic in thought. It's great that you think Seymour Hersh has no credibility. It's great that I think your preferred sources have no credibility. It ensures we remain a critical audience which helps work as a safeguard against falsehoods. As your preferred sources are regularly outted, it is in large part thanks to people like me. And should Seymour indeed be shown to be generating fake news, it will be largely be thanks to people like you.

The only thing that's really changed in society is this fear of conflict. Disagreement, or the belief that 'others' are being misled by fake information, is hardly a novel thing. It's the self righteousness and fear of disagreement, arguably driven by social media echo chambers, that is the novel thing -- and that is the thing that, if anything, might leave us in "deep doo-doo."
