I feel like there is a fine line between people like this and people who insist that documentation exists.

For me, maybe I know what the procedure is because I've done it a thousand times but it's still not written down step by step so what I know in my head is worthless once I leave the job for whatever reason [death, better deal, retirement, &c].

On the other hand, the person doing the job could just be sub-par. I'm not sure what there can be done about that.
... and for bed bugs, and for fleas, and also for basically every insect that feeds on mammal blood. They are important vectors of transmitting a whole lot of diseases, some of which already dangerous to humans while others could easily mutate to become ones. We are already eradicating a lot of species. May as well exterminate bad ones. There are no ethical problems because no sane person feels bad about killing ticks. These species probably don't have any important ecological role (well maybe they speed up evolution a little bit, but in that case screw evolution). And in case anything goes wrong repopulating the whole globe with them would take no time.

You've been over-posting about Google for a long long time, and we've gotten complaints about it. When something becomes predictable it ceases to be interesting, and single-purpose accounts are not allowed on HN for this reason. So would you please roll this back? That means (a) way fewer Google comments and (b) posting out of intellectual curiosity, not a predefined agenda. That usually means a diversity of interests.

Wage theft results in more money stolen each year than robberies. Wage theft is most definitely not a bigger problem. The deaths, bodily harm, trauma &c from robberies are many many times bigger problems than the money stolen in robberies.

You are rewriting history. The actual Lebanon territory contained Christians centuries before it became muslim. And it became a muslim territory after conquests. The fact that most regions of the world where there is muslim believers (Middle East, some parts of Europe and of the Indian subcontinent, Maghreb) is because of military conquest is telling. The only place this religion spread peacefully is South-Asia.

The Spanish case is also totally different and you can't blame them to get back again their territory and hold a grudge against the religion of their former invaders. I agree however that this is more complex than a simple religion choice, because in most case, this is not a choice (especially centuries ago) and its intertwined with a lot of other factors.

AES is extremely slow when implemented in software. Many mobile and embedded processors do not have AES hardware acceleration. With hardware acceleration, AES becomes crazy fast, but that's because hard silicon can do crazy things.

However, Speck does not have a user-case, as there are sensible options available. If you don't have AES hardware acceleration, ChaCha20 can get very close in software, which is one of the primary reasons ChaCha20Poly1305 is being adopted as a common TLS cipher suite. Cloudflare has some nice benchmarks on it.

> In a similar sense not all religions are the same.

This is the one single point that is very hard to accept by the mainstream. Currently, the doctrine of all cultures being equal is something universal. If we accept the opposite view, there are many dangers on the way. Who is going to decide which culture/religion is better? By what criteria? What are the consequences? It's safer to declare equality, and this is what happened in the West - and any attempt to question that is perceived as a regressive view.

They know to respect the ecosystem flora and fauna or get ripped to pieces.
> Not to mention the often forgetten fact that Gaza has another border, with Egypt, which is closed, and Israel has nothing to do with it.

Suppose a universe in which Israel didn't exist. Would Egypt have closed off its border with Gaza? Not a chance. That means it has everything to do with Israel. If you think Israel and its allies wouldn't respond with pressure on Egypt the moment it'd open up a border with Gaza, precisely because of Israel, you're fooling yourself.

As for your anecdotal stories about a friend in Gaza, they're as meaningless as if I said I had a Gazan friend who said the opposite.

The notion you've got Gazans risking their lives protesting against Israel (with over ten thousand injuries and 100 dead in the past months, 100% Palestinian) but not Hamas apparently isn't telling to you.

And if you think Palestinian lack of satisfaction with its leaders at any point in its history (e.g. Hamas now) has nothing to do with Israeli oppression (including the closed borders and the destruction of Palestinian economy every time there's an lopsided violent clash) with the backing of the world's superpower, you're also fooling yourself.
My personal view is that neither China's interest in the South China Sea nor Russia's interest in the Ukraine constitute an interest in attacking the United States. Both represent territory close to them and far from us.
Another one from a slightly different angle I use is:

Imagine we’re all having dinner, talking about a particular politician. We’re sharing our thoughts and opinions, likes and dislikes. In a parallel universe, we’re doing exactly the same, except the politician is sat at the table having dinner with us.

Are we going to say the exact same things in both universes?

No, you’ll change your behavior when you know someone is watching. Even if you have nothing at all to hide, knowing that you’re being monitored or observed or that there’s even a remote chance it will come to light - you don’t act with full autonomy.

That’s wildly dangerous in a democratic society.

(Rough translation of the idea of the panopticon)
In Germany, there is criminal liability if your subordinates (if you are making their schedules, or would be the one to tell them to go home) work over an average of 8h/workday (only those in the contract count, if none specified, courts said to assume 5 work days), or a top of 10h/shift. Except for a very few select industries, you also need at least iirc 11h off between two shifts, but there are some ways/loopholes around this one.
Any overage over the 8h average has to be evened out within usually 3 months, unless something else is in the contract (and as with German law, if the contract is evil, i.e. "sittenwiedrig", it, or at least the relevant portions, is/are void).

This does mean that you might not get another job if you speak up, as always, but it does mean that if you are willing to change industries, your superior faces criminal charges.

Combined with the neglegible risk of not being able to feed your family, due to the vast social support net, you are actually able to stand by your principles, if you do care.

Profit. You say that students are victims of overpriced education yet you punish them again by not offering a discount.
Oh come on. It's likely that almost every product is released with a huge number of flaws. Over the air updates just makes it more apparent.
You've gotten involved in way too many flamewars about Google and your comments are lowering the quality of this site. That's a moderation issue. Here you crossed into outright personal attack. We ban users that do that, so please don't do it again, and would you please stop commenting so much, and so exclusively, about Google? This sort of agenda is boring, and not what HN is for.

Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17216633 also.
Pre-undergraduate education is nothing like the University level. Some of the students have never been in a laboratory, some of them didn't have user-serviceable cars or bicycles or computers, even those who "have coded" might not really "be programming," and authority figures who could fix everything almost magically basically were their lives for 18 years. That's before you examine eccentricities and differences in upbringing. And, before addressing the "not not totalitarian" practice of 'Zero Tolerance' and its sizable human cost. As the other user said, that adds up. I wouldn't be surprised if kids doing gun violence in schools are reacting to a false image of society which they're getting from people for whom tardiness results in detention.

I still can't weld like some of my friends. They're so brilliant, it'd take me years to catch up.

Anyway: if you really want to sell students on becoming the complete Scientific Humanist Who Delicately Breaks Rules AND Can Fix Anything, which you seem to fancy, start off the laboratories with "LSD Synthesis: from Ergot to Your Homemade Blotter Art" and then break the thermal cycler before the next lab, with the phosphorescence plasmids.

And, yes, in the U.S. and elsewhere, I would expect some (perhaps milder than I imagine) difficulties with that; and, no, I don't really condone drug use but I think you can see where I'm coming from with this reasoning.
The M.2 connector provides PCIe, SATA and USB 3. Many WWAN devices on M.2 are for example just USB devices.
> reduction in wage theft is going to be mirrored by a drop in the amount of wealth available.

In a situation where wage theft is happening and then it stops happening, the money doesn't get thrown in a garbage bin. The stolen money goes to the worker rather than the employer.

If I got paid my average hourly rate for 10 unpaid hours per week, I'd make roughly $12,000 more per year than I do now. $12,000 which would go towards my student loans, or a down payment for a house, or just buying random shit. Instead that $12,000 goes to the corporation I work for.

You might argue that they can do that to 10 people and afford to hire another engineer, which is great, except now we have a corporation who is subsidized by unpaid labor, not by being an effective corporation.
Just like when the entire web was Flash and Silverlight?
When I look at the Location History Google has on me for my time at work it's pretty accurate, which is unsurprising since it is in a single fixed location and involves a fusion of not just GPS, but also Accelerometer and WiFi data.

It's entirely possible that is less accurate for others, but it's a source of data that many people in this situation should already have, so you can use it for those for whom it is more accurate, and ignore it for others.
Oh. I did not know that. I assumed that all SEPA transactions below 15000€ will be carried out as ICT if both banks support it. Well it seems they found a way to screw us over with another random fee
Even when I was in high school about 15 years ago, we were always punished for violating any procedures or rules. Zero tolerance policies weren't just for violent actions but for everything. Our society does not tolerate children who disobey authority and that doesn't magically switch off when we kick them off to college
"Wage theft is one of those victimless crimes"

Wage theft is most definitely not victimless. There is a very, very clear victim in that instance.

"and I tried to keep that off anyone's radar because I wouldn't have had a job otherwise and I was being paid plenty."

That's not true in the least. Any employer that is telling you that is flat out lying to you.

"Workers take the best option they have; possibly making that option uneconomic is not a good idea."

No. Just no. Why do you feel that employers are entitled to cheap labor?
> I have a feeling I am far from alone in being in this situation.

You should talk to your boss about this. Seriously its time to move to a new job or you teach your boss get used to "not being satisfied".
Can you please roll back the Google agenda in your comments? We've had this discussion before. At a certain point it starts to affect the quality of this site by making things more predictable and flamewar-prone, triggering accusations of astroturf, and all the rest of internet disease. You appear to have passed that point again recently, as more than one moderator has noticed. It's not what HN is for, and it's tedious, so please don't.

(It doesn't matter that it's about Google—the same is true for any X. X just happens to be Google in this case, as it is with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17214242. And when two of these get going on each other...hoo boy.)
Sounds like there is plenty of crime in that city. False imprisonment, extrajudicial killings, harassment, blackmail.
I like `libco`.

The API is a bit more heavy weight than what I submitted to Ruby. That's because `libco` tries to avoid an assembler and instead dynamically loads binary data into an executable section. In my opinion it's an unnecessary performance cost. The benefit is to avoid an assembler at compile time.

I think it's better to use natively compiled code by the normal toolchain. I think it's a simpler design.

One can not credibly equate income taxes to theft. We live in a society and it costs money for the society to function. Police, courts, roads, sewers, military, etc. require funds and everyone with the means to do so ought to contribute. I doubt anything I say can possibly change your mind but if you really think paying taxes is a form of theft then leave the country. You are not forced to stay (unless you are in a place like North Korea). You lose any credibility you have when you equate taxation to theft.

A lot of those "right to receive" exist because of government regulations and not because it is something employees or employers negotiated. What matters is whether someone out there is willing to replace you for lower price or not. Everything else is mostly virtue signalling.

When I was evaluating which web-technology to use I came to choose between angular and react. At that time angular2 just popped up and a lot of people where annoyed by that. One point why I decided for react was because google has a bad reputation when it comes to keeping things alive.

Is there a performance difference between C++ with RVO and C where the functions operate on pointers to structs instead of returning the struct directly? Or is it just a matter of coding style? This is something I could never understand very well.
You might be able to make a solid case that wage theft results in greater nominal amounts of theft than violent theft, but that doesn't mean it's a bigger problem as the title assumes.

The reason we are so hard on violent criminals isn't because they stole a small amount of money or property, it's because of the violence part. We place a lot of value on human life and safety, and when there's a notable probability of someone being stabbed or shot, things get significantly worse.

Wage theft may result in some bad problems as well, but I can't imagine it leads to more people being stabbed or shot.
I read it five times at least. They are vague and arbitrary. Every site can be found non complaint.
The situations don't compare well, even though the US too often uses terrorism as a guise to pursue global political goals.

Domestically there are 3.3 million Muslims in the US. There are ~50 detainees at Guantanamo Bay, with most of the former detainees having been released without charge. Some of them were charged as enemy combatants and or terrorists. And Guantanamo is widely considered a black mark on the US reputation.

The US has millions of Muslims that co-exist entirely peacefully with a very large Christian majority. After 9/11, at the height of anti-Muslim emotions in the US, Muslim Americans weren't put into camps by the tens or hundreds of thousands; they weren't slaughtered; their rights weren't wiped out; their culture and religion wasn't made illegal; the US didn't arrest them by the hundreds of thousands in targeted fashion. In fact, it's extraordinary just how peaceful and calm the situation after 9/11 actually was: if you believed the propaganda, America surely would have killed or arrested every Muslim in the country, except the propaganda is all a lie.

The US is not trying to destroy Islam in the US. The US is not interning millions of Muslims, trying to eradicate their culture and beliefs. The US is not torturing its Muslim population of 3.3 million. The US is not restricting their movement, their worship, or keeping them from owning guns or knives to defend themselves. The US is not razing their places of worship. The US is not building massive camps to put hundreds of thousands of Muslims into.

The US isn't doing anything even remotely similar to what's going on in China.

> You just can’t have a huge mass of creative, inventive people without them complaining about leadership (and wanting to improve it).

You create an upper middle class for the "creatives" and you restrict the areas of creativity to military and industrial use.

Most well off people that I know are happy to think the poor deserve to be poor and repressed (different people have different reasons for justifying it. Few seen to really care).
It says "wisdom", not "cut it in half". What would "cut it in half" even mean here, in context? Nothing.

Also, what you call "cutting in half" actually isn't cutting anything in half, but merely suggesting to do so, in order to achieve something else:

> By suggesting to cut the baby in two, with each woman to receive half, he was able to discern the true mother as one of the women entirely approved of this proposal, while the other begged that the sword might be sheathed and the child committed to the care of her rival.

I'll give you an example of just how silly your response is even without that. Imagine the question is how many gallons of fuel a certain car needs to travel a certain distance, and "using maths" (analogous to "using wisdom") the answer is 3 gallons of fuel. That doesn't mean that for any problem where you use maths to come up with an answer the answer is "3 gallons of fuel".

Basically to get rid of it you have to kill the mosquitos or stop the people getting infected. That is hard with large jungle areas and tribal people who don't go see the doctor. In most places where people go to the doctor it does get wiped out. Eventually as Africa gets richer and people have modern facilities it would probably get sorted anyway but that may be a while. Things can go backwards too. In Venezuela it was mostly gone but has come back with the economic collapse.
