That's general HR pep talk.

In reality promotions mostly happen in organizations due to political lobbying with the powers.

Even in these 'decent' tech companies you will see some people getting rapidly promoted and moving up the hierarchy, while genuine performers are stuck in the process and minutiae. Its just what kind of leverage your manager has with the upper management.

How would employees at Google or Microsoft benefit from unionizing?
Hence relying much on international trade part. Tariffs can influence only internal prices. Your exports, more costly because of wages, will still need to prove their value.

In practice your tariffs will also reduce your exports since you can generally expect reciprocal tariffs from your trading partners amply demonstrated right now.
This is basically how most tourism works in Cuba, with the Casa particulars. I stayed out on a farm for a week in Vinales, and I cannot recommend it enough! Amazing experience, and helps the locals a lot: for $20CUC a night, they're making nearly half what the government gives them a month (depending).
Japanese engineer fined 100,000yen for embedding Coinhive script on his website
The article is in Japanese so I'll post a short summary.

- Japanese engineer (JE) read about Coinhive on gigazine (Japanese IT mag)

- decides it would be cool to embed it on his website (sometime in September)

- removes it sometime in November after mining 1000yen ($10) worth

- 3 months later in February, presented with a search warrant by police at his workplace

- all networking equipment at home confiscated for forensic investigation

- called in for additional questioning in March

- eventually let off with a 100,000yen (~$1000) fine without pressing any charges

Basically, using Coinhive without user consent is equivalent to illegally commandeering a user's computer under a 'Virus Law'[0]

huh? what did I say wrong?
This release of Qt for WebAssembly is the first officially released prototype of this technology. Qt comes from the native desktop world where it relies and builds on top of the whole rich world of native OS APIs. There's nowhere near that API support on the web platform at the moment. Also Qt might not be using the full capabilities of the web platform in this first release. Naturally, the first results are crude. But Qt has a great platform abstraction mechanism, so I'm sure it will only improve over time, either making better use of existing web APIs or support new ones as they become available.

Also it is worth to point out, that there are really 2 GUI toolkits in Qt:

Qt Widgets - the more classical, desktop UI paradigm. Yes, this renders everything into a bitmap and therefore translates better to the Canvas model on the web.

QML / Qt Quick - more DOM like, declarative UI with modern animation, scripting and data binding features. This maps better to the HTML DOM model. In theory at least, however, the similarity is only superficial. Under the hood, the QML visual elements are rendered with WebGL.
Drug legalisation is about corporations making a lot of money providing yet another thing to keep a good section of the population docile and in their worker pens.

Why do you need prisons when people will voluntarily imprison themselves?
One of the topics that hasn't yet been mentioned (which surprises me, especially for HN), which I believe I saw originally when this legalization was still merely being proposed was how it would affect medical/pharmaceutical research.

With such national legalization, an entire developed nation (with relatively diverse genetic backgrounds, even) will be open to clinical trials.

Besides finally providing ammunition to topple the "no possible medical uses" classification in the US (and presumably other countries), it may lead to discoveries of properties of the lesser known chemicals in cannabis.

It may not, but the possibility is still likely to bring something of an additional boost to Canada's biotech sector.
I sure hope so, China has taken one of the least wise and darker paths these past centuries.
I would say they can be, depends on how they evolve.

On Windows they have access to the native APIs if signed and delivered via the store, as Microsoft is building on JavaScript development story they introduced with WinRT.

The same way any other unionized employees do: higher wages, better benefits, collective bargaining, serious representation in the corporate hierarchy, better job security.
Remember the abduction & torture system they ran for years during the Afghanistan&Iraq war? They indeed better don't complain too much about 'failure to hold human rights abusers accountable'.
You mean legally?
If you won't let me speak, delete my fucking comment.
I've posted this elsewhere as well, but I don't think they are two separate disciplines. I think that application authors in many cases should be restructuring their apps to fit content publishing paradigms.

The majority of native apps that I use basically boil down to fancy ways to display or edit document-like data. Music players, maps, terminals, text editors, file browsers, etc...

I think these interfaces would all be more elegantly expressed via an HTML-like model; and the insistence of application developers that they need pixel-perfect control over these kinds of interfaces is just a relic of a world when everyone used desktop computers with a single resolution monitor.

There are of course a ton of smart people who disagree with me on that, so take it with a grain of salt.
> The chamber is really bright to mimic the sun. A few neat rows of green coffee plants are growing. The air that they're absorbing has about the same amount of CO2 as in the preindustrial age, about 250 years ago.

> But there's a problem. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. And while they're still testing what this means for coffee's quality, scientists have seen that other crops have lost some of their nutritional value under higher CO2 conditions.

If they are bigger they absorb (or have absorbed) more CO2 into their carbohydrates, I wonder what the effect is on CO2 levels in the atmosphere, is this taken into account in all the models? Moreover, how were the effects when compensated for the increased mass of the plant? Were there the same amount of nutrients but just more carbohydrates and water? If so, other ways of preparing the food may help.
The ideas behind implementing something like systemd are good - check SMF on Solaris/Illumos or launchd on macOS.

If the web had decent components for apps with a consistent look, behavior and data model across browsers, perhaps this is how things could be. Fact is, after 38 (!) years HTML does not have a data list component that works well (what I mean is [1], something that I could put 10.000+ items in and expect to work. Something useful). I don't know about you but I'm not even 38 years old, so given that people are starting talking to me about midlife crisis, implying I'm about halfway to death by natural causes, I think at this point I should conclude I will be dead before the web will have basic usable working components.

Also I hate the totally inconsistent look of the components we do have. I mean anything I make on linux or windows is close to intolerable on mac. Which is, of course, why all designers totally avoid them and instead just totally redesign everything from scrollbars to buttons.

The web is ... decent ... for what are essentially slide handouts ("websites"). Let's start making some real applications now.

How...? I've only ever seen the ability to choose one APN, and that can be either automatic or manual. Logically if there are two APNs in use you should be able to set both, right? And I've never seen any indication that it's possible for some packets to go to one APN and others to go to another.
The internet today vs 12 years ago seems heavily biased towards video content. Different landscape, where Facebook and Google/YouTube now account for a majority of all internet traffic. If YouTube manipulates people, they’ll lose support and maybe risk a lawsuit. I’m not very familiar with the specifics here, but YouTube is the dominant video platform. If Facebook cleaned up their design and embraced an open web with public links, they could probably destroy YouTube.
The use case behind these kinds of terminal/editor sharing over the browser is to allow other individual to interact with your instance. This is good for remote debugging especially. Additionally video calls are susceptible to quality drops which make screens harder to read sometimes. This simply transfers the text as opposed to a screen grab.

While tools like zoom allow remote desktop control, it still has lag, and the requirement for both parties to install software as opposed to just the sender in the case of this tool.
PeerTube is using WebTorrent for videos. This means user's IPs are exposed to other users. Wouldn't it be possible to abuse this to track others by associating IPs with types of videos/content viewed?
As much as I'm against corporate power in general, and worried about Google in particular : I very much doubt that this is an editorial move from youtubr: it seems much more likely that this is automated monetization machinery run amok.

I mean, we're talking about the company that's drowning its users in chat applications/protocols.

That said, the i agree that archive.org or Wikimedia might be good ways to publish. Still, much like blender's other "big projects" (make film, make game etc) - this move potentially helps build out a working distributed video system.

AVS can check the numeric part of the address as well as the zip code.

As I understand it, though, this would still green-light "1234 Sixth Street" for "1234 Wilson Avenue." I also suspect it's less than bulletproof on some weird format addresses
> help serve those videos from their home connection

While it's what we usually do when we uses BitTorrent and similar protocols, this is ignoring network topology, and somewhat inefficient.
Of course, theoretically not the global bandwidth, but the pipes congestion.

Home connections are not connected to the internet, but to a service provider connected to the internet. Home are behind distribution trees connected to the internet graph.

Nothing forces ISPs to optimize routing flow inside their AS to distribute content. Could be at their root tree. How can we expect people with capped upload speed and high latency to IX servers, while some global CDNs are already closer to homes on ISPs regional level PoP?

And besides, traffic shaping, throttling, protocol blocking on private ISP infrastructure is now unregulated in some parts of the world. Massive outbound traffic could unbalance their (massively inbound) peering contracts, this is a threat.

The principles of free, open and decentralized internet do not necessarily apply to users of ISP infrastructure.
Bullshit, the RCMP has been pretty active here in BC to close illegal "dispensaries". By all likelyhood, this won't stop after this bill, as I trust the liberals to have properly secured weed's distribution. "Depenalization" would have been 10x better than this "legalization".
Wow that really gives me more hope.

I know ISPs have a bad rep in the states but where I live in europe we still trust some of our ISPs. So I'd like to see a world where ISPs offer mastodon and peertube instances to off load privately hosted instances.

I'd be more likely to trust someone I'm already paying monthly for internet access to keep my social media data safe, than a "free" service.
Oh god, I recognize that stupid CA Service Desk Manager in those emails.

They used to use arsenic in wallpaper. If it got damp enough some types of mold would convert inorganic arsenic into volatile organic arsenic compounds and poison people.

Just remembered an ex gf worked in a museum. She said they used to dust taxidermist specimens with arsenic powder to prevent pests and decay. So a lot of display items are problematic. Toxic, irreplaceable, and you can't just throw them out either.
The goal is not to deter them. The goal is to make it more difficult for them to do what they're doing, and thereby ruin fewer people's lives.

And yes, slow absolutely does matter, if you're one of the people caught up in the grinder.
Yes. But this puts the burden on blender's viewers. That may not result in sufficient revenue. (Generally charging the viewer is not a winning revenue generation strategy.) The creator may more resources to pay and definitely more incentive.

BitTorrent is fairly hard to censor.

Mega.co has an okay track record at this point, though it's centralized obviously.

A big contributor to the difficult learning curve in Redux is the very poor naming of things. It's off the charts unintuitive, especially if you're an experienced programmer.

I imagine their thought process went like this:

Types:
People like strongly typed languages, maybe if we call our events "types", they will like Redux more?

Reducers:
Switch statements are so boring and uncool. Lets call this "reducer" instead of "events switch statement".

Store:
Lets call the state tree "store". The term "State tree" is too explicit and a core principle of Redux is misdirection.

Actions:
Mere mortals will associate the term "action" with functions and procedures, but Redux is not for mortals. "Action" will be our term for payload.

just signed up last week! I have heard plenty about HN previously but my experience has been 3rd-degree connection at best. So far I am loving the quality of content being shared. Regarding the discussions, I don't know that they've changed my mind quite yet (only been a week, though) but each i learn something new and do take some time to critically explore a topic or idea, so in my book what this community offers is laudable.
I had a situation once, when Symantec firewall stopped working on my company laptop. Not the whole SEP suite, not the antivirus, just the firewall part. After 2 months I got my first angry email from robot, then I started getting them every month with big red text trying to scare me with every possible corporate hell, and it gradually started to CC it to higher and higher management in the company. Meanwhile nobody could fix it and it didn't help that IT support was outsourced to another country (I called them several times with zero results). At some point said managers started visiting me personally (because I assume their inaction was escalated even further). In the end nobody fixed this specifically, but I managed to accidentally do it when fixing virtualbox install - after increasing some obscure "Network Filter" limit in Windows both SEP and VB started working again.

I think wasn't auto fired like OP only because such trigger wasn't implemented in the company, yet. No IT support available can be really bad.

&If they are bigger they absorb (or have absorbed) more CO2 into their carbohydrates, I wonder what the effect is on CO2 levels in the atmosphere, is this taken into account in all the models? Moreover, how were the effects when compensated for the increased mass of the plant?

Plants only absorb about 25% of atmospheric CO2, so if they are growing 10% larger, then that's only 2.5% more overall.

Were there the same amount of nutrients but just more carbohydrates and water? If so, other ways of preparing the food may help.

They mentioned this in the article:

However, Myers notes that if this were the cause, all of the nutrients would be decreasing at approximately the same rate. And that's not necessarily the case

I think this is an important note that you have made. Meetings are not a place for free and open discussion, which in my experience often derails them.

We tend to have two kinds of meetin. The first kind is with another team (or teams) that is to clarify something, or request something, or provide them with information etc. (what exactly is roughly agreed beforehand so that we come with the info required). This is not a free for all discussion. We need something from this meeting, or maybe they do, so we have an aim to stay focused on.

The other kind of meeting we tend to have is a private team meeting where we discuss things openly and freely, although the head of our team still steers the topic, but loosely (so, still not a total free for all, but less strict that a meeting with another team). An example is our weekly team meting, the main agenda is sharing updates with the rest of the team on where we are in our individual projects, but we can also side track a bit if its some how relevant or noteworthy.
> Drug prohibition has been a categorical failure in every outcome it was intended to achieve.

The following flavor of comment has been made many times on HN, but since I’m halfway through Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow I’m in the mood for making it again here:

The drug war has been “successful”, because its goal was to incarcerate, disenfranchise, extort, terrorize, and break apart the families of minorities so that America could retain a racial hierarchy after the civil rights movement. This hierarchy is advantageous to the ruling class because they can continue to exploit poor whites economically, keep them off the bottom of the hierarchy, and retain their political support.

When Reagan declared a War on Drugs in 1982, less than 2% of Americans viewed drug use as the most important issue facing the nation. In 1989 that number was at 64%, all without a significant increase in drug usage. (Rates for drug crimes did increase, because criminality was the effect of the War on Drugs, not its cause.)
