You can always be fired for doing a ‘bad’ job, however your employer/shareholder defines bad. The law gives management really broad authority to define “good” and “bad,” though typically that’s easiest to measure and quantify through profit. (Especially for shareholders, who have alternative uses for money —- if the shareholder cares about Cause A, he has less to give to it if his investment underperforms.)

You can’t intentionally waste assets, you can’t put personal interests above the company’s interests, and there’s another set of rules when you sell the company — but “prioritizing profit” is an economic argument about what’s good and best, not quite so much a legal standard.
Yes, that is why I called out loan guarantees. Regulatory capture (special treatment) on the other hand, is not subsidy any more than granting a patent/trademark is a subsidy... it's regulatory capture (the opposite of effective regulation). Corporations don't get to blame the govt for the rules that industry paid for... see what you made me do!

It's true that investors can sell if profit isn't being maximized, but how often does that happen in privately held companies?

E.g. if startup X has the tech to take over a market, but is insufficiently pursuing a profit opportunity because of moral squeamishness, chances are relatively good that investors in X will simply replace the executives with somebody that will pursue those opportunities since that's vastly cheaper than building up competitive tech in a new investment.

Similarly with publicly traded companies, not pursuing profit opportunities can result in large sell offs of a stock. You see a lot of animus against short sellers that suggests that the "businesses must maximize profit" norm is thoroughly ingrained in investor communities even if it's not legally mandatory.
The claim has to be wilfully and knowingly false.

It's essentially toothless because it's near impossible to prove, and it takes all responsibility off the filer.
Me too also... I just find stairs boring, so I nearly always take them as quickly as I can, which means two at a time.

Really kind of scared a friend once doing it down stairs... he was pretty concerned for my safety!

> These stories were first fabricated by Private Internet Access, a competitor who has been feeling pressure from ProtonVPN lately.

This is a lie. Private Internet Access is probably the largest paid VPN provider in the world, and ProtonVPN (by Tesonet?) belongs to a short list of free VPN providers, such as Onavo VPN by Facebook[1] and Hola VPN by Luminati[2], most of which are subsidized by data mining companies. These are two completely different markets.

> We used the same legal address and nominee directors as our local partners because we still did not have our own office yet. For contractual reasons, these moves took some time. For example, ProtonLabs Skopje, our newest entity, only moved in November 2017.

ProtonVPN UAB has been founded in July 2016, and was still operated from Tesonet HQ in June 2018, when this fact was made public by the co-founder of PIA. The current ProtonVPN legal address in Vilnius, Lithuania can be used by any company, which agrees to pay for 1 work-place without any long-term obligations[3]. This means, that ProtonVPN might as well be still operating from Tesonet HQ.

> ProtonVPN/ProtonMail does not, and has never used any IPs or servers from Tesonet (this can be publicly verified)

This is a lie. ProtonMail admitted to using Tesonet IPs, when presented with Whois results in June 2018[4]. Those IP blocks were later assigned to ProtonVPN.

> Proton does not share any employees (or company directors) with Tesonet. This is also a verifiable fact.

This is a lie. It is no longer possible to verify, who is the director of ProtonVPN, because the company made the public record unavailable after changing its name multiple times in the last two months[5]. The last public record listed the CEO of Tesonet as the director of ProtonVPN[6], which was still true in early June 2018, when the co-founder of PIA made the fact public.

> There is little actual evidence that Tesonet does data-mining (in any case we have never used infrastructure from them).

This is a lie. There is plenty of actual evidence, that Tesonet is running a data mining company, called Oxylabs[7][8], which sells access to "10+ Million Mobile IPs in Every Country and Every City in the World".

I'll post IMO the most interesting slide of the talk.

---

The Assumptions of Technological Manifest Destiny:

1) Technology is VALUE-NEUTRAL, and will therefore automatically lead to good outcomes for everyone.

2) Thus, new kinds of technology should be deployed as quickly as possible, even if we lack a general idea of how the technology works, or what the societal impact will be.

3) History is generally uninteresting, because the past has nothing to teach us.

You should write. This was amazing to read. Do you have a blog?
Fined tune delivery is on a steady march to commodization. AI and API standards are going to interface with flexible logistics chains made up of autonomous systems.

Now, you're 100% right about discoverability. But Amazon is misplaying here if that's the long game. They should be a quality filter, not a cheap marketplace of knock-off Harry Potter toys.

You're also right that Google isn't nailing it. Really, I would argue that tastemakers are still leading the way for physical goods; with rating systems coming in a distant second. Ultimately I think a web of trust is going to develop to solve many of these problems, but that is largely a task of user interface, since enumerating trust and context is too onerous to push on a user. Besides, making it explicit is provably gamed as much as possible, see LinkedIn's "skills" for example.

Or Google could get its act in gear and cut amazon out of it. Hard to tell what will happen.
I know you're joking, but the number of steps is well defined and doesn't vary as it's essentially a difference. The difference between two numbers is always the same regardless of whether you're using a 0-indexed or a 1-indexed base system. E.g. regardless of whether you call an element in an array [1] or [2], it's still two elements away from whatever is [3] or [4] -- the number of stairs climbed is the same.

So you're free to use either top-stepian or bottom-stepian notation when counting stairs and you'll get to the same answer either way. So it's just an implementation detail that's left undefined in the spec.

The fact is that I had the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) when I came to the UK. It's validity is 2 years, and they (officially) do not accept documents which are outdated. How do I then even prove I had it for 5 years?

That card had never been required at the NHS either.

Took me another £300 (lawyers, official printing excess) to just get the right documents supporting that and I still had no idea if they would even be accepted - because their support line is absolutely oblivious (and to be clear - that is the only support channel they have, outside lawyers themselves who can only advise based on their experience, rather than a set of written guidelines).

The sad thing is that you can still get away with it. But I can see how that turns a huge amount of genuinely honest people away too.
> in short, MCUs are not secure devices

I doubt there is 100% secure device, you know, it's all about tradeoffs. Given enough time and resources, nearly anything can be hacked.

By the way, if an attacker has gained physical access to the primary token (and also to the another factor, a password, since token on its own is not too helpful), they don't need to hack it in any way: they can just use it to log into the account, add some other token and revoke the existing one.
The info also comes in handy when carrying large loads that obscure vision or being the backward carrier in a tandem load. I do it when walking across flat surfaces, too, but have found no usable value besides logging distances walked.
You can easily sell the money without selling the card. You just need to ask what people want, and buy it for them.
I see political news flagged faster and harder. Was David Bowie's death flagged?

IMHO, despite all the work done here on censorship and topic management, I've experienced a greater level of meanspiritedness and unkind comments here than on any other comment forum I've frequented.

Perhaps that's >why< there is such a presence and the need to shut down check potentially conttroversial topics. It begs the question of what is different on this forum.
Show HN: Member Since: Find out when you created your Yahoo account
I made this over the weekend to answer a simple question: When did I create my Yahoo account? For many, it was one of the first services they registered for. I was able to look for that piece of information easily in the past, but now it's been increasingly difficult to do so. Hence, this web app was born.

Member Since asks for your Profile information, but don't worry, I store none of them. The permission was used to make one single request to retrieve your account creation date — that's it.

Let me know if you've got any questions.
OK nerd. When was the last time you saw the word “maybe” in sentences that are intended to be scientifically accurate? But I’ll bite.

Do we know for certain that fruit sizes are a normal distribution? If not then you can’t estimate sigma the way you did. Most of our tree fruit comes from genetic clones, with a different root graft tuned to soil type. So size is going to come down to weather, health and inputs (water nutrients and sun), but not really to genetics.

Compost should be the third or forth option for this process. The one cull we did, all of the rotting fruit went to compost, and the too far gone or gouged fruit went to a farmer for his cows. Pigs should work just as well (better, really, since pork is much more efficient than cow, caloricly speaking).

Maybe free range chickens too. My friend who is somewhere between overachieving gardener and homesteader gives her spent cider apples to her chickens. And I know of small scale chicken farmers who collect restaurant waste and let their chickens forage on the piles. But at industrial scale it probably goes to compost.

But even compost and manure can still have a life if the right people are involved. We should be doing more of that.

New Belgian Brewery (a B Corp), last I heard, double composts their spent grains. First anaerobically to get methane to fire the boilers, and a second aerobic composting which gets spread on the property.

And one voice in the permaculture community, Mark Shepard, rotates his cows and chickens so the fly spawn on the cow patties are in the larval stage when the chickens arrive. Good protein and the manure is dispersed “for free”.

Even the food we don’t eat can do good.
> This is where some sort of Lynx-browser-powered-proxy would be ideal.

No need to go into any of that trouble. Just install ssh on your phone and connect to any box with lynx/elinks/etc.

Works like a charm and is real snappy over any wireless connection.

If you are short of a box to ssh into, sign up for any of the providers of free shell accounts.

There are of course also a lot of native text only browsers like Instabrowser if you prefer an app. Then there are browsers using compression and proxies like Opera Mini.

I did not call them peace loving or non-violent. I said they had no concept of land ownership. You are making my point for me - though condescendingly and with a source that is somewhat rambling and obtuse.

Of course they were violent and murderous: they are human beings. They did not, however, commit genocide in the pursuit of property.

Id say the highest you could possibly call "low carb" is ~100 g/day. That'd be ~400 cal/day, or 20% of a 2000 cal/day diet.

And really 100 g/day is a lot. Most people on "low carb" diets are going to be eating half or a quarter of that.

So, this is just more ridiculous nutrition research funded by the US government, produced by academia.

I was a military wife for a lot of years. Trying to talk about the differences in compensation and lifestyle between the American military and American civilian jobs is quite challenging. If you want to talk about what works in Europe, you need to talk about all the factors that make it work.

People in this discussion are saying "If you give cash to an addict, they will spend it on drugs." Well, most poor Americans have serious health issues. It is one of the things that makes them poor.

If you need medical care and you have to pay for it and it's very expensive, giving such a person money won't go to food. It will go to medical bills.

If you want to give Americans cash instead if food stamps, first you need to give them free medical care. We really need universal basic health care in the US.
Well, anecdotally for me it is just because of how I feel on such a diet. It takes a while for the body to adjust, but once it does I feel like I am on a high that never ends. No ups & downs, just pure focus and energy. Would it be like that for everyone? Who knows. But I have never felt this before on any other diet. That's why I stick with it. (Note I do about 5% carbs, 80% fat, 15% protein)

Even if this ends up with higher mortality (which I highly doubt this claim, there is a lot of research and results it is in conflict with) - I'd rather live feeling like this than the alternative.

I also question the meat claims because there is also a lot of evidence to the contrary. It seems like there may be a confounding variable in there that is skewing the results.

I find two steps at a time much easier than what feels like tentative tip-toeing of single steps. I guess it’s just what you get used to.

What pisses people off the most is when people damage the tree trying to get the fruit. Losing one crop is frustrating but now some jerk has compromised the tree for years or maybe forever.

There’s a group here that gets the owners’ permission. Some of those trees were planted by the previous owner or someone whose health or free time doesn’t let them pick like they used to. This group gleans the tree, and then the fruit is split evenly between the owner, the pickers, and a food bank. The owner gets a little less fruit but does something good and has less rotting fruit to clean up that year.
