No, it's exactly the same.
Both are extrajudicial and state-sponsored killings aka assassinations.

Just because many people have blind trust in the US government and the validity of its kill list aka "disposition matrix" [0] doesn't change the basic injustice of the act, which is just as unjust as poisoning some "enemy of the state".

The international laws and human rights broken in both cases are exactly the same, the only difference is the methodology of the final "execution".

> None of which were taken out with poison or a Hellfire missile.

It's extremely naive to assume we know every drone victim ever, it's not like the US drone program is a shining beacon of transparency.

I'm a woman. I get a 2 or 3 guard around the back and sides, trimmed on top and leave me some bangs in front. I go every few months. It's initially quite short, but starts looking like a typical little old lady haircut after a while, which is appropriate, what with me being a little old lady. (Er, except for that little part. I'm not that petite.)

I cut my hair real short for health reasons. But not having to fuss constantly with long hair has been a huge secret of success as a woman. It is not lost on me that some women with PhDs -- like the "Mother of Dark Matter" and the first female Field's Medalist -- had quite short hair.

Precisely. Thank you for clarifying!
Which would you rather have?

A) A guy who thinks you're an idiot, and tells you--to your face--exactly why he thinks you are one.

or...

B) typical open office dweller who also thinks you're an idiot, lacks the stones to tell you in-person, yet somehow manages to have just the right amount of stones to tell everyone else how stupid you are.

All I know is that we have a whole lotta people in this industry with absolutely no business plucking the splinter out of Linus's eye.

After looking at stock drop and recoveries of other companies involved in major PII breaches in the last 10 years, I came on here recommending people look into options, as an opportunity to profit off the reactionary price tumble fallout from that breach. IIRC EFX, with a market cap of ~$16B, went from ~$140 to ~$90 over a few days. As a primarily B2B data broker that sells information without concern for the data subject's wishes, in an establishe and disruption resistant market with only 2 other competitors and decades of purchasing friendly regulations, a ~36% drop seemed unlikely to persist for very long. It's just betting against a large majority sharing, and sacrafising $, in order to adhere to those principles.
That's strangely pedestrian, though if you didn't know who was the suspect, I suppose closing down the entire place is the best course of action to prevent tampering.
This is pretty cool. But i feel that there's nothing "show hn" about it.
The problem isn’t what Linus says. The problem is people are too sensitive. Whatever happened to “sticks and stones...?” You don’t like the Linux kernel, variable names in code, or the community, then make your own. The tools are there. You sensitive folks ruin everything with your fifis. Linux is dope. Never apologize to these people because it validates and emboldens them.
great find. I guess there are so many low sec companies
I've worked at companies that document bonuses and companies that don't. Documented bonuses are a completely different situation.

My current employer is documented: it calculates your pro-rated fraction at each grade level for the bonus period two deal with promotions and then divides by 2 (bonus is paid out in two payments per year) and then multiplies grade level * company performance * employee performance. Any employee can calculate exactly how their manager ranked their performance. They can complain (or leave). With one weird exception people's grade levels are visible to others which means their bonus target is visible. For some people, 100% of their details (everything: base, etc.) are sometimes known to anyone who is interested (this applies to me).

(I should note that I don't think the compensation is transparent at VP level and above and know from experience there are tons of shenanigans there.)

When I worked for companies that did not document the bonus methodology, it was appalling. Bonuses were for glory hounds and friends of management. Terrible. A lot of employees didn't even know bonuses were paid.

I think the same issues exist for compensation (equity and base as well as special packages or retention bonuses) that exist for bonuses. It would be interesting to see if you could meaningfully execute a company with total transparency but I don't think it would survive contact with reality.
I did an office 365 install a week ago and recall a second Onenote popping up. Is it just no longer being developed, or did I get one of the last installs? I was unaware of the change!
Is this actually a surprise to anyone?
Year 1: here's an extra x% of your salary! Aren't you happy!
Year 2: here's the same x%! Aren't you just as happy.

Compare this with getting a raise.
Weren't people reporting that they were seeing BlackHawk helicopters around the installation. Seems awfully overkill for a child porn probe.
That sounds a little like the logic behind payday lending. Get some money now but pay a huge price later. I am sure plenty of people are in that position but it's certainly not a good thing.

Meanwhile, US-legal sanctions against Russia have simply not been enacted by the Trump administration.

Unless you're willfully living under a rock, you must admit that it strongly appears that Trump is beholden to Russia in the same way that a middleman is under the thumb of his mob boss. Based on the available financial evidence (the countless companies and countless financial failures and defaulted loans), it's quite plausible that Trump owes some wealthy Russians a lot of money. His house of cards is built on OPM.

Really there's no point debating this. Those who cannot see this are either extremely young and naive, or they are wilfully ignorant. I don't care what political figure it is on what side... thinking people can observe behaviors and identify patterns that illustrate (highly) likely back stories. Trump has a LOT of back stories. You need only to research his US endeavors to see that he has never, at least until becoming President, built a successful business on his own. Now, of course, he has the benefit of the perceived promise of his customers having access to him (a la Mar a Lago, for example).
Given how badly the Democrats oppose anything Trump signs off on, this is a smart bet. It's sad we can't look past party lines on good things like this
It is certainly true that the social utility of a company is not necessarily proportional to the number of employees, but it's not necessarily proportional to the profits either. A glass repair company that goes around breaking windows could make money without creating net utility. That is what many people see bitcoin as. Now, you can debate and argue about specifics vis-a-vis cryptocurrency, but there's a larger issue that bothers me. Why assume that making money means you are benefiting society, in general? I don't care for the assumption that profit is always evil, but the opposite assumption doesn't make sense either. Individual self-interest works marvelously to advance collective goals, like the cells in our body work together, but cancer and viruses also exist, and the reasons why they multiply and are harmful to a collective are very subtle.
Social media is just one 'propaganda center' to be concerned with.

Hollywood is a notorious mouthpiece for politics. (They are also very heavy-handed in controlling the message through use of carrot-and-stick.)

Big media is of course totally lopsided, one way or the other. Fox is as bad as CNN is as bad as MSNBC. Take your pick.

For my tastes, the best way to get a central view is to look at a site like 'Real Clear Politics', which shows the most outrageous headlines from both sides of the aisle. The reader is left to triangulate a position, after having seen the most persuasive arguments from both sides of the aisle.
I believe it was a group of 76 people - 36 had dogs with separation anxiety and 40 were okay.

The article can be summed up with this, "It is possible that humans with higher levels of stress do not have a relaxed relationship with their dogs."

This is what stress does and it's not only applicable to the dogs as I am sure friends, family and co-workers would also have less than a relaxed relationship with the individual.
No, if the chefs are working more than the new full-time amounts then there won't be a need for 20% more chef jobs.
My company gives better bonuses for good sales growth but then next year the target gets adjusted and it's pretty much guaranteed that we'll get less. It's a pretty rigged game.
Only the person who created a work should get copyright. It shouldn't be transferable at all. Something like:

Individual copyright: 25 years or date of death + 10 years.

Corporate copyright: 25 years.
When I read about such behavior, I'm happy not being employed anymore...
Or do the dogs look like their owners? :)

This essay is and outstanding statement about decentralization and why it's important. It connects so deep into me that I feel it in my bones. This is the technological infrastructure we need, going to give there codebase a thorough inspection and see what I can build with it. Also, I love the finnish people, shoutout to my previous employer Reaktor Oy who did the honors of introducing me to the brilliance of the finnish people and culture.
It should be 20 years max.
"It would be interesting to see if you could meaningfully execute a company with total transparency but I don't think it would survive contact with reality. "

I think you can. There are some companies that do it already and places like military and Congress (they fully publish salaries) are transparent without falling apart. Secrecy around salaries is just a tool for employers to keep salaries low.
That's correct. But the article is making a subtly different comparison, which the parent is responding to. Specifically, with one string-literal argument, f`hi` and f(`hi`) are nearly identical from the perspective of the caller, as long as you deconstruct the extra array in the function body.

This is cute, but since you're limited to literal strings, you can't push this very far before using a regular parenthesized function is better again.
How disappointing that they wouldn't even give a simple "Thank you" for you going out of your way to actually inform them. Don't they realize you could've just harvested the user contact info for a quick buck and sold a cracked version of the app for weeks/months before they realized it?

Okay, good job code monkey. Now move along, we have to get back to focusing on our shitty business.
I'm not saying "crime arrests per area is wrong".
@xamuel explained it better than I could:
>It's not that police shouldn't patrol where crime is highest--of course they should patrol there, if they know where that is. Rather, the point is that "most arrests" is not necessarily an accurate way to detect where crime is highest.
This seems a bit circular.

The universe (U) itself would be the prediction machine.

To be fair, there would be no definition of "circular" without the universe.

The reality we - or habitants from other universes or other domensions - can measure seems to be some kind of "Fractal collapsing" at the dimension/universe that the "measurer" is located.

Rick and Morty also explored this using another analogy:

I think this might actually be it. As someone with anxiety I am irrationally anxious about my cat all the time, but according to external appraisal (i.e., the vet), my cat is just fine.

Current authors oulling the ladder up behind them.

The Brothers Grimm works helped Disney, who refuses to allow another Disney in like kind.

FREE THE MOUSE

I had that as a bumper sticker for over a decade. Lots of people asked! Was the best sticker ever. I told the Disney story many, many times.

Interestingly, most people were engaged, asked questions, mostly understood.

"So, that is why we get Terminator 2, 3, 4, 13...?"

What makes sense?

Balance of benefit of author and the public.

Authors need material to work from. Without that, everything will need a clearance of some sort. It is extremely difficult to make entirely new works and have them be compelling enough to reach greater relevance. No public works = tepid new works.

The public wants and benefits from a robust, rich culture. Everything owned = stale, managed culture formed in boardrooms.

Authors need to eat and benefit from their works. These benefits can and should be substantial, depending. No copyright term = dubious value in creative works = starving authors.

0 years breaks creation. Infinity years breaks culture, dilutes overall value to everyone.

100?

It is better than infinity, but where is the sweet spot?

The Brothers Grimm worked under 24 year terms. Disney used those works, once public, only to object and deny others what they got to build from.

And here we are today.

I personally think 40 is pretty great. Others want 0, others want hundreds of years.

I also believe overly long terms will result in counter, protest culture. Won't be easy to monetize, will ignore DRM, law, and will exist to deny the established scheme, because fuck them and their greed. Or something along those lines.

This is super tangential to the content of the post, but can we take a moment to bask in the use of React Native here -- and the fact that it wasn't obvious it was a React Native app until the OP took the app apart?

Solutions like React Native, NativeScript and Flutter are providing real developers alternatives to trudging through bullshit on two separate app platforms just to deliver a similar looking experience to two walled gardens. This makes me happy.

BTW - I'm not even a React fan, I think it's over-engineered/not as simple as it should be. However it is/was a paradigm-shift type project and the divorce from the DOM model to enable support for something like React Native was a great move as well.

I'm a contractor and if someone offered me $8K per month for a 3 month contract building open source software of my choice, I would leap at it with both hands. Normally I do the same thing, but I don't actually get paid. ;-)

I suppose I should be spending more time looking out for this kind of thing. It's possible there is more money in open source development than I had previously considered.
Nice work!

It is a tool to keep salaries low, but when salaries are known, it can definitely create bitterness, jealousy, and resentment. "[X] definitely knows way less than me, has way less experience than me, and is a lot worse at their job, yet they're being paid almost double what I am" isn't great for morale.

Oh, the guy from support was fairly polite. I cut down his responses a bit for the sake of brevity but I'll clear that up.

For example the initial exchange was:

You're being down voted on HN. Not surprising. No doubt the comment thread will do their best to academically miss the point and spiral the conversation into nothing but empty rhetoric and logical labyrinths.

>Ironically, the people who should be up in arms are the ones who wisely have realized that arming the civilians is a net-negative.

I've worded this differently. Turns out the people that claimed they would fight the government are actually the one's who would support the government becoming a haven for sycophants and tyrants in the first place. Turns out that the American populace is actually pretty toxic and not all that exceptional. We could be. We can be. It's just going to take a lot of self-reflection and growing up.

When people tell you who they are, believe them. As Americans not enough of us cared to vote, and enough of us didn't care enough to push out the literal human garbage fire that is Trump.
the simulated thickness scaling is not quite right
OTOH, when the bonus has been paid out reliably for years, then the distinction gets pretty blurry. My company just cut bonuses this year for the first time in memory, by almost 40%. In the last two weeks we have had a half dozen new resignations per day. The company is profitable, they just set a target for year-over-year revenue gain that has not ever been met in the company's history, so that they'd have an excuse to pay less. And now everyone's pissed and the best folks are walking.

I am pretty sure it was deliberate, a way of cutting way back without having to give severance or make the news.

In a Next.js + Now context you'd use the path alias feature [1] of now in production, using a rules.json file to do the route mappings to other microservices or external URLs.

In development you'd use micro-proxy [2] and define a rules-dev.json with local mappings, and then have a package.json script to fire up that proxy for local testing.

Putin targets Russian citizens that are his personal enemies because they speak up, protest, or otherwise embarrass him. He does it using poison in a manner to make sure everyone knows who did it and what the consequences are if you cross him.

The US drone program does not target US citizens who speak up, protest, or embarrass the president of the USA, at the behest of just the president.

(Stating the obvious, but that’s not a defense of the drone program. You’ve outlined its problems. But it’s just clearly not the same thing.)
