had never even thought of that as a feature of unions.

i know a couple people selling 'legalshield', and a few people that have bought it. having the ability to contact an attorney for 'now and then' questions, to clear stuff up, or write letters.... $30/month or something like that. Seems similar, and potentially valuable, to have that in a corporate setting, depending on how much $ it would actually run you.
Does it work with .NET Framework 4.6.2 yet? I saw suggests you could download and install 4.5 from Microsoft and run it on ReactOS, but I think later versions tend to be more closesly built into the OS itself.

The software running in my car is still very much Windows dependent, but it'd be pretty interesting if I could run it on ReactOS instead.
The boss can pay them, but he better trusts his subordinate doesn't get pissed off, or else he still lands in front of court.
It's a health policy, similar to how public buildings, even those that only invite the public, have to meet certain fire resistance norms. I don't know why those also apply to private shacks in the middle of nowhere, but I assume they do....
Overtime would be coming in Saturday.
It's too bad the author doesn't once explain what "KPI" means.
I think your experience writing C with a group might be severely colored by the group being made up of inexperienced highschoolers.
And here I was thinking about what to use for native mobile apps. So what are the current alternatives to React Native?

Agreed... but with the Supreme Court overturning Workers rights to file class action claims to recover lost wages, the ability to organize is under attack.
Most time tracking software such as WhenIWork does this.

However, it is geared towards protecting the employer from wage theft by employees in the form of late clock-in, early clock-out, etc. Eg, when an employee inflates their time worked.
Was he making a relevant point besides that the West/US has done bad things too?
So your employer pays 48k for 50 hours a week of labor. Yes, if they suddenly paid you 60k instead you'd be doing better. But that doesn't mean they benefit from unpaid labor, just that the current rate is less than you think it is.
They are very different concepts. The IRS is legally entitled to your money, but it's not "theft" if you don't pay it.
AIUI, the ultimate goal of this work is to present spoken, rather than written, words to the skin. The idea is that you can process spoken language into phonemes, and then present those to the skin, although in this study, the phonemes were generated directly.

I assume that the belief is that it's more easier to reliably encode speech to phonemes in real time than it is to encode it to text.
Is Microsoft about to acquire GitHub?
I waited 21 days for my first reply from Game Closure after applying for this position 2 months ago. I proceeded to have three interviews, 2 of which were technical with a high level engineer and the CTO.

After being told the interviews went very well, I never heard back. After a couple of weeks I emailed Linda and Rachel to ask for a status update, and never received a response.
It doesn't appear flagged, just downvoted. Some people use downvotes to express disagreement. Without it being flagged to death, I would not assume it is offensive. I would only assume some people don't agree.
Xiaomi?
To me it doesn't look like it's a front-end issue. I am mainly complaining about the HTTP response time. It seems extremely slow on both pipelines and merge requests, and Vue ain't gonna fix that I'm afraid.

I don't know if it's an optimisation issue with the software itself, or if it's just GitLab.com being overloaded..

I understand. I see so many people joining the ML / AI bandwagon and I wonder if so many people really understand the maths behind it or is it as simple as calling a function?
As a small business owner I was expecting to read about employees padding hours, like clocking in during breaks or having a friend clock them in early. It's shocking that people would abuse their employees and that people put up with it.
The linked mail talks about XTS constructions, so the thread is about block encryption commonly used in disk encryption schemes. They also mention that they'd have to handroll such a scheme with ChaCha. I assume that Speck offers a native wide block mode which would make a better candidate for software disk encryption if it weren't for the backdoor concerns.
There are two proposals on the table to return to such as design:

I'm not sure green threads are a great design for primarily concurrent IO. Because they have all the cognitive overhead of threads but it's simply not necessary for primarily cooperative workloads. Unless you have several network cards, IO is going to be serialised at the hardware level.
Java doesn’t run on iOS.

Java doesn’t run on many, many other devices (which do support web techs).

Java is controlled by Oracle.

WASM is not the same thing.

Administrative and human factors matter.
This is by far the cheapest board to test out a PCIe FPGA design BTW. It’s so much cheaper than other PCIe boards it’s worth it to buy a used laptop on ebay with M.2 and you’d still save money :o

Yes, this is about what I meant. The price at about 80$ (with bulk discount), possibly slightly less is still a little high, but thanks for the info.
Successful "tyranny" could be analogous to successful multicellular life. We could be witnessing a similar development in the history of life. But note that multicellular life never wiped out single cells, and in fact we live symbiotically with a large number. Plus, cancer is apparently not something that can be eliminated.
As someone who doesn’t cycle this is mind boggling. Obviously if you arbitrarily pick which laws you follow you will be better off. I can’t stand cyclists they observe laws like pedestrians when it’s convenient but want to be treated and afforded all the same space on the roadways as cars.
Repeating a point that keeps getting downvoted for unclear reasons: "Wage theft" is an effective euphemism that misses the nuance of what's happening here. Not paying wages according to the letter of the law is not the same as stealing money from people, and employers, like most people who cheat on regulations, often can't or won't shoulder the extra cost if those regulations are suddenly enforced, and will cut hours or people instead. Workers are certainly being shafted but probably not anywhere near to the extent in reality as is being presented here in theory.

In any event, it's very different problem than property theft and shouldn't be compared as such.
I doubt you're going to find one, it's easily abused and lets you intermediate what should be their users.
Honestly the whole thing is like a bizarro Java world. Everything is significantly worse than the comparative technologies, some of which are 20+ years old. package.json is worse than pom.xml, build.ts is a bizarro build.gradle, and the vm itself doesn't even begin to compare. There's some kind of market failure going on when browser providers are devoting millions of dollars to poorly reinvent the wheel. On Android we'll be seeing 3 VMs running on top of each other. It's insanity. Frankly it does not inspire confidence in the future of browsers as a platform.
Theft isn't inherently tied to violence. It's easy to think of someone breaking into your home with a ski mask on, instead of embezzlement or pirating software. I would argue that wage theft is a bigger problem in the sense that the scope is so much larger. This article brings up wage theft amounts in _recovered_ wages and it still trumps regular theft. I'd guess a lot of people on this thread have experienced wage theft, I know I have.

Would I rather a corporation steal $12,000 from me every year, or a burglar break into my home and steal my shit? I know I wouldn't pay $12,000 for a security system for my house.

Yes. Probably. Which is why I only said that I don't remember encountering any, not that one should presume there is none.
Because RAII isn't amazing?
Since you mentioned the Greeks, anyone with the slightest interest in Ancient Greece should read “A War Like No Other” by Victor Davis Hanson. It’s a fascinating account of the Peloponnesian War. There’s a chapter on siege warfare.
So a bank robber should not be compared with other property theft if he declares that he would have burned down the entire bank if he hadn’t been able to steel the money?

Theft is theft, even if you have other relationships with the thief that might be endangered by enforcing the letter of the law.
That happens here too, but a lot of the stricter regulations apply only to prepackaged foods; I expect this is one of those.

King cakes are another example — commonly enjoyed despite how many baby Jesuses have been swallowed or choked on.

This argument doesn't work. The NSA is pretty universally believed to have optimized the DES s-boxes for resistance to differential cryptanalysis. Obviously, at the time differential was a NOBUS weakness --- NSA would have deployed it against competing cipher designs, which is sort of the whole point of employing cryptanalysts in the first place --- but it was never a NOBUS backdoor in NSA's own design.
Well, network effects in aggregate maybe?
> "only way for totalitarianism to “work” is if the rulers are both much smarter than the population as a whole"

The party can pick the smart people from population to join.
LoRaWAN is weird, but it might be useful. This does remind me to consider playing around with a couple units, and maybe set up something mesh-like or so. Considering one of those only needs an ESP32 and an 18650 to reach similar properties to the gotenna, it might be feasible (if the software turns out to be usable) to get a handful/caseful from Shenzen.
> It seems like this distribution requires the original game files. I tossed my 5 1/4" floppies when PCs stopped shipping with floppy drives. Silly me.

Anyone else remember a hacked copy floating around that allowed you to play as the Fremen? Sadly I also threw out my copy when I purged my floppies.
I guess I inferred that he was pointing out the futility of looking for a place to move factories that is untarnished in this regard. If that was his point, he's right. I can't really think of any place to move the factories to that wouldn't just be kind of pointless. I mean, pretty much everyone uses deadly force against muslims. (Maybe someplace where they don't have muslims? We might be able to move there?)

In any case, I should probably just let him, (or her), outline what their own point was.
If Microsoft buys GitHub and enables private repos for free I'll consider seriously using GitHub for once. I prefer BitBucket overall though plus they offer private repos. But I like having pet projects I don't need the whole world seeing and judging. Or may be I want to work on something before I make it public. But I'm not shelling out money for GitHub if I can get the same and more on BitBucket.
> You just can’t have a huge mass of creative, inventive people without them complaining about leadership (and wanting to improve it).

You could split a country economically into a wealthy economic zone and a zone for the working class.

Or you could have a wealthy country that helps another country to be totalitarian, for the right economic gains.
No, if you re-read my first sentence, you'll see that I'm not suggesting we should trust NSA.
I guess you are getting down voted for lack of content, but I agree. Those are all very bad "Java without GC" C++ practices that lead to awful code bases. Thankfully the author seems to have learned that from their experience writing C.

Like the author mentions, C++ leads to overthinking which language features to use. It invites you to seek these perfect abstractions for Python readability with C performance. I think this is a big reason everyone develops their own incompatible style -- not due to passionate philosophical beliefs, just to reduce the size of the solution space.
You missed that I'm not comparing existing Java to WebAssembly?

Promises and hopes around Java 1.0 are very similar to WebAssembly.
Yeah, Preact is great for standalone widgets
I wonder is the drone.io guy has read the link he provides to the end of it:

So, there you go, that should take the sting out of answering the ‘nightmare letter’, even if not all the questions are appropriate (or appropriately worded) you can answer the bulk of them in relatively short order and with automation you can take the sting out. If this is the worst you can expect under the GDPR then that’s not so bad, and the effect might actually be positive:

- we get to know about a lot of undisclosed breaches

- it will be clear who has their house in order and who hasn’t

- if you don’t have your house in order just answering the letter will help you to get there

Sure, this is called bootstrapping. It's a pretty significant milestone for operating system/programming language/or any project that serve as a platform.

Bootstrapping here means that a programmer can fetch the ReactOS source code, compile it, and run/deploy it without relying on any 3rd party operating system.
In language that usually means that the compiler can compile an improved version of itself

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers)
There's a long history of really great MIT intro (or relatively so) psychology/brain science courses. Back in the 1970s, the intro course was a hugely popular lecture taught by the head of the department.
Just because the act of theft happens under the veneer of corporate bureaucracy doesn't mean it isn't theft. The money goes somewhere, and if it isn't to the workers then it is to the employer.

You're right that corporations won't follow regulations that aren't enforced, which is why workers need to be informed of their rights, given legal counsel, educated and enabled to organize.
You switched mid paragraph from accurately discussing income tax to inaccurately generalizing to all tax.

Please don’t do this.
For us, "IOT" means "Internet-connected refrigerator". From NSA's vantage point, though, it includes billions of dollars in embedded industrial equipment that is taking advantage of the same technology that's allowing us to wire up our toasters. If that equipment is insecure simply because vendors can't get AES working on a PIC or MSP embedded SOC, you have a nation-scale problem. It then starts to make sense that they'd work to provide an "officially blessed" cipher that can work in those environments.

We also forget that though we don't trust NSA (and shouldn't), American industry sure does.
The sad part is that Android could have been a tool, and the first gen of tablets were just that to many, but then Google fumbled, badly.

The major fumble was that they restructured the storage permissions, making it that much harder to write to external storage from Android. Oddly this coincided with the introduction of movies and music to the Android Marketplace (later renamed Google Play).

Ting is that much as with many Windows tablets right now, early Android tablets came with type-A USB ports. Thus allowing various devices, storage included, to be plugged in and utilized.

But this quickly vanished on later generations once the storage changes came to be.

Never mind that the UI of the tablet variant of Android was more suited for landscape use, clearly indicating that it was aimed at 2-in-1s as well as tablets.

But then ChromeOS happened, and the focus shifted to it for courting corporate use (they even had Citrix on stage to demo logging into Windows remotely from a Chrome tab).

Only recently have we seen renewed focus on Android for work. But this involves an "enclave" on phones for work apps, and getting Android apps to run on ChromeOS.

Then again, Android was an acquisition. ChromeOS spawned from within Google's 20% scheme of "personal projects". I guess it has always been an ill fit within the Google corporate structure, and should probably have been spun of as its own company during the Alphabet restructuring.
The same thing exist in various countries, including Germany.

You can even order some free print copies, as i did last year.
>it's because of the violence part. We place a lot of value on human life and safety,

it's not because of the violence itself, it's because of the visibility of this particular form of violence and the resulting news coverage.

There are plenty of forms of violence present in our societies that we do not give its due attention, domestic violence for example which, the recent two or three decades aside, was even tolerated.

Same goes for wage theft, we don't pay attention because the people being robbed rarely have a voice. No cameraman drives to a home to interview someone who was the victim of wage theft, as it doesn't make for a very exciting visual evening cable news headline.
> The dangers of pointers and explicit memory management are overrated

Hummm, not my experience. The first time I ran AFL on one of my C library (parser/converter of EMF files, really easy to mess up), the result was quite frightening. IIRC, it took only 20 seconds for AFL to find 10 crashes.

Ever since, first I'm more careful, second I run AFL from time to time, and it happens regularly that it catches some edge cases I was not able to see.

I love programing in C, but I definitively know it's easy to make mistakes in it.
>Workers cannot rely on policy makers

The fact that they can't represents a major political failure. Good policies can make a huge difference.

Here in the UK, the HMRC (our tax authority) is responsible for enforcing the National Minimum Wage. This makes a great deal of sense. Employers are legally required to report wage payments to HMRC for payroll tax purposes and the HMRC have tremendous institutional capacity for conducting financial investigations. For HMRC, a minimum wage complaint is a twofer - underpaid wages mean less revenue from payroll taxes and is usually a sign of tax evasion. HMRC operate a confidential hotline for reporting violations of the minimum wage law.

Where workers need to resolve a complaint, they can access mediation or binding arbitration completely free of charge. There is inevitably the risk of retaliatory action by an employer, but at least employees have the ability to enforce their rights without having to pay for legal representation.
It's political because NSA never complied with academic norms, but received deference before the BULLRUN scandal.
They are playing the "robots are stealing our jobs" line very heavily in the video. Insightful viewing for modern audience to gain perspective for current discussions.

I've always just looked for one that doesn't use jQuery. Haven't had trouble finding one for at least a year. Nowadays I always find there's already a Vue component that's a wrapper for whatever library.
Look at the actual committee and floor votes in congress.gov (and that doesn't even count attempts that were not allowed a vote). NYT is a business, not an objective stenographer.

To this day, NYT will not acknowledge how phony their financial assessments are with respect to the billions of losses via just the Risk Corridors and community centers. There was more than a $5.3 billion deficit in Risk Corridor spending for 2015 alone[0]. Enrollment was overestimated by the CBO by over 100% even while Obama was still in office[1]. And the numbers are still in flux as insurers who didn't get all the bailouts they were "promised" successfully sue for hundreds of millions[2].

I've definitely had my "let's switch browsers and see if this works in IE/Edge/etc." moments, but in general, things not working with Firefox with tracking protection enabled is rare.

And more importantly, when I need to bypass these safeties by using another browser, I'm doing so intentionally: I know this site is trying to move outside my security comforts, and can address it accordingly, rather than any given website abusing my privacy.

And of course, if I switch browsers just for sites that don't work in my Firefox setup, they're loading in a browser I use for little else... so they don't find much anyways.
In my experience small business owners commit wage theft the most. I've worked +80hrs/week for some small companies while only billing 40hrs because I was unskilled in an area with high unemployment. When your back is against the wall you compromise.

I, early 30's, read that with a Russian accent (Red Alert was an amazing game). Funny what difference a few years makes.
Also keep in mind HN tends to lean anti-union because techies in general are treated and paid very well, and tend to feel like they don’t need unions.
Does anyone know more examples of C APIs where the user is responsible for allocating data and where all the functions only "borrow" pointers? Is getting rid of malloc/free worth the loss of information hiding?

The UK also has an explicit party for labor. The US has nothing of the sort. The Democratic party used to be the labor party but as since joined the Republicans as a corporate funded organization. Hard to pass labor laws when your big donors are employers.

ChaCha20 gets very close in software on machines that have fast 32-bit ARX and can handle ChaCha20's key size. Part of the point of lightweight ciphers is to provide "as secure as possible" variants with smaller keys and tiny block sizes, workable on 8- and 16- bit embedded processors.

Speck is far from the only lightweight cipher design, and the other designs don't get this kind of shade from academic cryptographers. In fact, Bernstein designed one, based on the ChaCha20 design: Gimli.
