In the UK its the average hours worked over a 17 week period must not exceed 48 hours - I suspect this is how it will end up working.

Of course what the article doesn't touch on is are there any "Spanish" practices around over time that happen in Korea eg deliberately going slow and holding back work to get more paid over time - or similar tactics that usually where solved by an under the counter brown envelope.
It is way more complicated than that. The body autonomously regulates the amount of calories that you eat. For example when you exercise more studies show people will eat almost exactly an extra amount of food equalent to the calories exercised.

The average person gains an extra 1 to 2 pounds a year. It takes 6,000 calories to gains 2 pounds. This is about ~16.5 calories a day. About a fifth of a slice of bread.

This is an imbalance of energy, on a 2000 calorie diet, of less than 1%.

The point is not that the absolute number is high or that it has any net effect on the number of American citizens.

The point is that the number sky rocketed from basically nobody to thousands of people because FATCA is such a draconian, terrible law.

In absolute terms, only about 3.5% of Americans even travel abroad each year let alone live abroad. We could put a wall around the entire country and refuse to let anybody leave and a majority of Americans would not care. A majority of American citizens don't even have passports in the first place.

The small minority of people who live and travel abroad perform a very important function for US industry and international relations. Making life more difficult for them for no good reason is bad for our economy.

My browser has to load 90 JavaScript files totaling in 20 gigabytes to display a 140 character string and fails along the way. And all the engineering brains at twitter couldn't make it so that it would just try again on its own. It's like they're trying to convince people to stay away from the platform.

Where do you think voting fraud is not incredibly rare?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/08/03/he...

> How often does it find fraud? For that, we turn to the much-cited 2014 analysis of voter fraud reported by The Post. Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt looked at 14 years of voting and found 31 possible incidents of in-person voter fraud, comprised of approximately 241 fraudulent ballots.
Sure, but then our database will be a bottleneck and we actually can just use SQL for everything and not to forward information to another storage (like Redis) since there are no benefits.

If you will deploy live system several times a day, eventually you will lose some data. Also, implementing monitoring for this is not an easy task and you will probably will never know if job wasn't scheduled.
code and layout should be separated in my opinion, and jsx with thinks like styled-components did a great job, so you can easily read the UI structure rather then "complite" in your brain those tons of dot's braces align differently.

I can't find any references online, but a friend of mine is deaf in one ear and their right hearing aid communicates in real time with the left hearing aid (so that they can hear on their deaf side by the audio being pumped into their good ear).

These are just the free hearing aids you get on the NHS I believe so I would imagine that the ones you need to pay for are significantly more sophisticated in this respect.

I have no idea what is available in the US - perhaps this phone-based approach is good for people who don't have $10k to spend just to get some basic amplification?
> its machine has far more lines of computer coding than a space shuttle.

This kind of comparison is ridiculous. It's like saying "Niagara Falls produces far more water per second than a kitchen faucet." Well of course it does. The computing power of a space shuttle is laughably tiny in comparison to an Arduino, which is itself a tiny computer by modern standards. Does the general public not know this?

We use them because we have them. Lots of people use high-carbon emissions cars and planes, and Facebook, but I'm not sure it's fantastic that we have them.

>> Does it include work done from home? Work done on your own time? Will it allow us to turn off the cellphone all weekend?

It certainly should. I have a policy of not working from home except under rare circumstances. Not do I work on my own time. I don't carry a company cell phone or check email when I'm not there. I never set up the VPN to enable this kind of abuse either. Set some boundaries, it's good for you and contrary to what most people think you will probably be respected for it.
Just to add. In a world where airbags are not mandatory,(autopilot+airbag) driverless technology would be safer than the average human (without airbags) on the road. So, you would be arguing for legalizing driverless cars completely overlooking that the gains are not because of driverless-ness but because of airbags. This holds true now too, almost all gains by driverless-ness can be had by emergency braking, lane keeping assists, side collision warning, and pedestrian detection etc.
The problem is, where do you store this list? The Web doesn’t have a way to store things except at a particular domain, and that domain will then know everything.

Anyone remember xAuth effort led by Meebo and others? It ran into the same objections for using a centralized domain for the time being even though it was great.
An airline denied my passport (had gone through the wash) I had just returned from Canada and had used the passport, in the same condition, in the country I was going to. But the airline didn't care. They said they could be fined $25000 for bringing a passenger without a valid passport plus they would have to return me.
And to pile on the anecdotes, I've been in the exact opposite situation where we needed somebody right now to handle a new requirement, and we hired someone "pretty good" after already taking longer than the rest of management was happy with to hire.

They ended up being pretty weak, having trouble shipping, eating large amounts of onboarding and management attention, as well as other engineers patching up their work to make it serviceable. They were just good enough to make it seem worth the slog too, so they sucked a bunch of extra labor out of everyone else for the better part of a year before they left.

In retrospect, I made the right decision with what I knew in the moment — but with 20/20 hindsight I should have waited.
Browsers could implement that part of the UI. Like address autofill.

> Obviously calories matter, but there's just so much more going on than that.

The purpose of black box perspective is to not worry about the "so much more going on". Regardless of what happens in the box the rules of energy must stay put. As for the human body, the science there is young, it's extremely complex, there's a lot of misinformation, a lot of it was grabbed by governments ("don't eat fat!") to ill effect. Let's not. Just take it easy with the portions.

Metabolism shifts are not that large. If you are following CICO, you're counting calories, and that is already an error prone process. There's not a big difference between "my metabolism shifted because of this odd food", "I drank some alcohol", and "I miscounted how much beans I actually had". It's fine, if you have a good enough weekly target and you stick to it, you will have a baseline. If you are not losing weight, reduce the target.

It will work. If you are saying it won't I want to see a straight up study that says it put 500 men on a 1500 cal/day diet and they didn't lose weight.

Note that I am only talking about the physical angle, not the sociological one. "Juice is not healthy" is, to me, a non-sociological claim, but a scientific one, and I would prefer that "x is unhealthy" means "x is mildly poisonous", not "x is calorie-dense", because there's nothing actually wrong with calorie-density.
I would presume this is mostly limited to hourly work. It's not like this could ever be enforced for salaried workers because, as you pointed out, you usually don't get overtime and your hours are likely not even logged anyway.

When talking about hourly work, the distinction is pretty clear as your hours are already getting logged. Legally, you are required to be paid for any work you do, including "work done on your own time". (Of course, that's largely true for the US. That may be less true in South Korea I suppose. And of course, they can get mad at you for working extra hours, but they still have to pay you for it).
I can imagine it being very frustrating interacting with an AI for most support issues, but I see a real use case in replacing those gigantic options trees with a semi-interactive AI.

Just a voice saying "Hi, I'm a bot, can you describe your issue?", followed by "Okay, sounds like a whizmo issue, can I transfer you to our whizmo department?" seems potentially both faster and more accurate than a huge options tree. That's a win even if the AI can't directly resolve your issue.
Yep, buy something like "kiwi-strawberry-guava" juice, apple or pear juice is usually the first ingredient. I wouldn't be surprised if most juices are flavored versions of the same base.

I think that has more to do with finding one provocative phrase (not by the parent, but by the propagandists who popularize it) that will inflame people in three ways: Voting fraud! Illegal immigrants! And the racial implications of both.
There is an abundance of open space available to the public in the forms of national, state, county and city parks, Midpeninsula Open Space to name the most prominent. It's a much better set of resources than a private individual could possibly accumulate in what most consider an urbanized area in the USA. I'm happy to contribute my tax dollars for these assets for all. I have lived in urban/suburban areas where all the land has been bought up by private interests and there is a distinct paucity of outdoor opportunities in those areas by comparison.

Not true. Wages have been flat over the entire period from 1964 onwards. Individuals may experience wage growth through job changes and raises, but that doesn’t change the fact that overall real wages are stagnant. You can’t cherry pick the last 3 years of a 50-year trend and say it’s all good.

For that to work the tube should be incredibly strong because any small crack would let water in at high pressure. If those kids can dive, why not a much smaller but sturdier tube carrying air at high pressure and electricity, then every say 5 meters or less put a regulator and some LEDs to light the surroundings. IT should appear as a very long rope they could slowly follow stopping at every regulator to take breaths. Also, both air pressure and electricity could be used to make the "head" of the tube move towards the end of the tunnel just like pipe inspection robots do, though in this case they should account for a very irregular pipe.

Not surprising really. The big schools skim off the top student talent, brand them with a degree, place them in top jobs, and repeat the cycle. There's no particular pressure for them to be great educators.
Note this varies a lot around the world. In plenty of places salaried workers working beyond their normal working hours are entitled to compensation for overtime (and are still subject to maximum working hours restrictions, minimum rest periods, etc.)
Part of that is artificial price controls due to insurance.

In markets controlled by insurance payouts, higher demand doesn’t allow the business to increase the price service.
Why not OpenID Connect? Not only does it have discovery for OAuth2 endpoints, it also specifies how to discovery the OIDC endpoint from a bare domain and username via WebFinger. It also has extensions for dynamic client registration, supports flows that work with input-restricted clients, as well as single page apps, and the UserInfo endpoint.

And it's also already implemented and supported in lots of places. There are tools like Dex that offer OIDC and can use "upstream" OIDC providers for the actual user management.

I'm not getting why IndieAuth is needed beyond what OIDC offers?

Also, for those mentioning Persona/BrowserID/Portier, it is an OpenID Connect provider, and I've just recently sent PRs for it and Dex that allow them to work together.

The Sony MDR-1000X/WH-1000XM2 have had a 'voice' mode for years, where noise cancelling let's through specific bandwidths.

I use it as a safety feature when riding my bicycle, and it is nothing short of amazing. I can hear birds tweeting in the trees around me, tire noise coming from cars, crystal clear conversation. I'd love to have the same feature in a smaller package.
If this is just a marketing ploy and anything happens to the kids, I think he will be damned for a long time.

But I really hope there's something they can do. I'm just skeptical whatever they throw together will be adopted by the Thai navy, who is imagine prefers to stick to their training and core competencies.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that most of our brain is just interior "wiring" and the actual thinking goes on in the outer few millimetres - i.e. most of the brain is just interconnections. If that is correct then I would expect that the amount of "wiring" (and so overall volume) would need to increase exponentially as the brain power increased.

...plus there is all that crap about us only using 2% of our brains etc.

Despite not being taken seriously as higher institutions, they're a godsend for focused, unconventional learning, and certainly an attractive alternative to for-profit bootcamps. State schools had many of the same advantages as CCs. I ended up graduating from state school; compared to the mid-tier private university I went to, the state school's profs were either clueless, or very interested in teaching.

Why even comply to GDPR if you are our of jurisdiction?

Bad idea.

A steady trickle of immigrants is much better because then it forces cultural integration, especially when the immigrants do not speak English. A flood of immigrants will lead to a nation divided among cultural lines without the possibility of integration because the cultural bubbles will have already been established.

We should focus on helping impoverished nations develop, so people don't have to leave from their birth countries to find comfort.
Elections in the US are organized around specific offices and candidates, not parties. A general election ballot might include 20 offices and several ballot questions.
I think job postings hide those requirements by not advertising them on purpose. They just kind of spring them on you in the first day and if you don't know it you will pick it up. Which is mildly ironic because they advertise all the technologies which you must have 5 years experience in or you won't be considered. I kinda don't buy it anymore.
GDPR only applies to foreign companies targeting the EU. There's no way to misconstrue an outright block as targeting the EU. So it doesn't matter if your data is in their logs -- it doesn't apply to them.

On the other hand.. doing as you suggest -- a special text only version for the EU... that's definitely targeting the EU. Not only did they serve up the data to an EU user, but they took the time and effort to craft a special EU version of their website. The GDPR 100% applies to them in that case, and they definitely need to understand the law, handle removal requests, etc.

You suggest they avoid the GDPR by making themselves subject to the GDPR. That's nonsensical. They're doing exactly what the GDPR says they need to do to avoid being subject to it's legal requirements--blocking you.

The problem I think is not so much the brut as the béton. I don't find concrete to be a wonderful material, aesthetically speaking.

Good point, and this is exactly what I did. I actually was running the SPA + the rails app side by side. Took me about 6 months, but I cut over every page / app one by one till I was done.

And, to the parent commenter, good point. I do think the gist of the author is to use the right tool for the job, and they are not dogmatic about "never write an SPA". Thanks for keeping me honest.

> What makes you think that both the author and I don’t use videoconferencing or phone calls?

Maybe it would help if you understood it as "use [enough] videoconferencing or phone calls".

Answering that question:
For the author, the aforementioned 5X ratio. For you, your apparent insistence that a) you have to talk and listen to them, but b) this somehow has to take place in person to get to 50% confidence. Maybe that's true for you, but I doubt it's universally so.

> What’s “wrong” about my suggestion

I think you parsed my sentence incorrectly. "wrong" modified "six-figure hire", as in, the wrong guy who costs six-figures.

> I haven’t ever worked in a department that was constantly hiring, neither in startups nor in huge global companies. Have you?

Oh yeah. It's more like everyone had two full-time jobs, and one of them was 30 hours a week of interviewing.

> Suggesting that the cost of interviewing a dozen people is larger than the cost of employing one not-so-great engineer seems, from my perspective, to be off the mark.

Let's try from my perspective. Say you hire a not-so-great engineer, who's maybe worth $100k, for $90k. A great engineer would be worth $1M, for $90k. Both are wins.

O that it were only a dozen people. Say it was 5 hours a week of wasted interviews, for 50 weeks, and the interviewer earns $100k. This puts a loss of >$10k onto your bottom line, neglecting the "real work" the interviewer could be doing, and the other employees also doing the same thing.

A low win beats any loss.
>It's a matter of opinion, but I don't think it's an intolerable burden if your tax prep costs are <10% of your total tax bill.

And I do. For most of the world, tax prep costs are negligible. I'm not sure how many countries have tax prep for individuals as a big business like it is in the US.

> The term brutalism is derived from the French betón brut, meaning “raw concrete”.

I guess that's true in the case of brutalist architecture ; but more importantly it takes it one step further than « brut » and refers to « brutal » to take the idea into violent territory. Having a raw experience which pays too much attention to the well-being of its users is not brutalist, it's just minimalist.
What evidence do you have that it's employers who are powerful holding down wages? Being a small business owner in America sucks. You can barely afford to employ anybody.
> Universal income, unrestricted immigration. Which is it that you really want?

Very few people actually want totally unrestricted immigration, and most of them -- the only consistent ones -- are either unitary world government proponents or full on anarchists. Otherwise you're inviting seven billion people to vote in your country's elections, and then nothing stops them from voting for the same sort of wealth redistribution policies or anything else to the detriment of the existing population. It's not pick one: open borders or redistribution of wealth, it's pick one: open borders or democracy.

The ideological inconsistency you're observing is realpolitik in action. People who want more socialist policies don't want unrestricted immigration, they only want just enough immigration from socialist-leaning countries that they have the majorities needed to pass their policies. Meanwhile people on the right are trying to keep the same people out for the same reason -- Republicans don't oppose immigration because they're "racist", it's because those immigrants disproportionately vote for Democrats. Neither party will be consistent because consistency loses them votes.
