>If having the employee increases pre-tax profit, wouldn't lower taxes on profits make them effectively cheaper?

in a situation of rigid linear connection between expenses and revenues - i.e. when adding additional work units immediately and proportionally increases your revenue. In real life there is usually elasticity between expenses and revenues - while increasing/decreasing expenses has immediate direct effect on the bottom line there is no such effect on the top line. The situation is even worse when you need to hire or do capital investment today (and thus take the hit today) while the related revenue increase would come only some years down the road.

I think this is a good summary of the law in practice. Any overtime has to be compensated by the employer. Obviously, there are ways people work around it if the employee is fine with it...

However, if you go to court about unpaid overtime you are sure to win. This has obviously implications on your hireability though. On paper you are protected.
I wonder the database structure behind airtable-like flexible data apps. I suppose they would create databases and tables on the fly to increase performance - or maybe they just use unstructured (or flexibly structured) databases like mongodb?

Facebook confirmed Zuckerberg's beef with Apple CEO in an official statement
My point is that if you assume giving up some privacy is going to cause long-term harm, then you are correct. But a rational person can weigh the cost/benefit of giving up privacy for some convenience and decide there's a net gain to it. People who use the internet or carry cell phones or even vote or do banking have given up personal information, and likely know they've given that information. If they found the trade off beneficial, it's not necessarily apathy, but a decision. It may be a bridge to far for you, but perhaps not for everyone.

Not true anymore.
I don't know exactly where you are coming from, politically (or religiously). But I believe that phenomena like narcissism constitute poorly understood pathologies of personality, and to be able to see them for what they are, clearly, is a kind of progress, whether it's science or not.

The Enlightenment wasn't the last word in intellectual progress. Neoliberal capitalism hasn't decreased inequality in the last 30 years—it has increased it.

I think you might be projecting a bit when you talk about "shielding oneself from uncomfortable ideas". If you think the Enlightenment/classical liberalism is the last word in "thought", maybe that's what you are doing, too.

A lot of PhD students apply Foucault (to take one example) in frivolous, non-constructive, self-absorbed ways. But Foucault wasn't some crazy guy, he was part of the establishment, trying to sharpen our understanding of the dynamics of power and intellectual life. A lot of his contemporary academic followers certainly don't identify with the progress of Western culture. They could be called "wreckers", but it's hard to say that with a straight face while Trump is in the White House.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there will always be maladjusted kids, freaks, weirdos, and attention seekers. It might feel to you like they are taking over the show these days, because everyone seems to be frivolously labelling everyone else as toxic, like some retro high school clique drama of teenage girls gossiping on the landline.

But even if widely implemented, their exclusionary attitudes won't stick if they don't work in practice. The mass of "normative", i.e. "healthy" people tends to plough through in the long run, for better or worse.

Millennial culture contains a big dose of self-righteousness, but a lot of fashion and trendiness too. The judgemental side of it will surely blow over, if you want to see things that way. We can only hope that the heightened awareness of psychology will stick.
I don't think it's productive to declare everything secretly racist, sexist, or whatever else. Soros and his Open Society Foundations are the most visible representation of globalism today. But this has nothing to do with him being Jewish and in fact his political views are not even in line with those of Israel which tends to hold a more Zionistic and consequently nationalistic view.

As an example of the disconnect there, consider the influx of individuals trying to claim refugee status in Israel and Israel's reactions [1], against what Israeli media openly declares "infiltrators". Israel's actions here have drawn the ire of groups directly supported by Soros' organizations. The point is that just because a Jewish man happens to be one of the most well known names associated with globalism hardly means that globalism is now suddenly a secret word for Jew. It doesn't even make any sense.

1) gawker was trash and probably got what was coming to them. outing someone to get clicks is much more scummy in my opinion than what PT did. the world is a better place now that Gawker is not in it.

2) regarding "legal proxy's acting on someone behest,", I'm not a lawyer but what is the difference between this and HSBS acting as a "proxy" and paying the legal costs of mexican employees (executives actually) [1] who got caught illegal laundry money for the cartels. It is basically the same thing, someone or something with a lot of money throwing around money and affecting legal outcomes (Deferred prosecution agreements)

> Presenting your data should spark questions or proposals or agreement regardless how much time you put into it

Step back and take a look at that statement again.

If you put too little time into it, it'll spark questions - about you, and your process, and the lack of completeness.

If you put too much time in, it'll also spark questions about your productivity; or it will overwhelm the audience and put them into that sort of compliant/bored state where they somewhat shut down and don't engage.

There's an art to answering just enough potential questions while leaving room for people to feel like they're contributing, which builds engagement and really helps turn bored listeners into real stakeholders.
"Pixel phones have notches" is easily interpreted to mean "ALL Pixel phones have notches", or even that multiple Pixel models have notches.

No, a single model of Pixel, the Pixel 3 XL, has a notch. To say "Pixel phones have notches" is misleading. Pixel 1/2 did not have notches. Pixel 3 does not have a notch. Only the Pixel 3 XL has a notch.

When someone says "I'm not getting a Pixel 3 because it has a notch", it is unclear whether they incorrectly believe that the Pixel 3 has a notch, or if they really mean the Pixel 3 XL and just left off the XL.

It seems like a nitpick, sure, but I think it's important. So much noise is created about the notch in the Pixel 3 XL that I honestly think there are a lot of people that don't realize that the smaller Pixel 3 doesn't have one.
It absolutely matters! The key takeaway is how the regulatory bodies adapt to the new world. It's the same challenge faced in the old world, but, this is arguably more important because lines of communication and network effects impact a far larger body of people...
Too bad the public markets have given Elon such a lashing with Tesla, because I would love to buy into SpaceX.

But then, I’m not the only one;

“There is an unlimited amount of funding that the company could probably access globally in private markets," Hilmer said, adding that he has personally met many of "a diverse group" interested in SpaceX. Everywhere I travel around the world, investors of all types — individuals, family offices, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds or private equity — want to get into SpaceX," Hilmer said. "It's almost all investors I talk to."

Of course at the same time I’m happy they aren’t public. The market couldn’t handle the time horizons that SpaceX operates under, nor the mission statement that drives them.

Yeah, a significant portion of the latency is just the distance to the existing satellites in geosynchronous orbit. For light to get out and back to the geo belt is around 240 ms, excluding any other factors. Getting up to the promised gigabit speed will be significant challenge. The original demo satellites that SpaceX launched only had data rates of ~15 Mbps.
Nonetheless, it'd be nice to have some way of plugging in more of this kind of functionality at the instance, user, and possibly repo levels. Obviously syntax highlighting is one use case, but some others:

- Sophisticated cross-referencing tools like Kythe and SourceGraph

- Linking stdlib functions and imports to public documentation, like cppreference.com, python.org, etc.

- Linking ticket/user names to my non-srht bug tracking tool (especially JIRA, but there are lots of possibilities).

- Linking to public or self-hosted generated API docs (doxygen, swagger, sphinx, etc).

- Linking to info pages generated from metadata-type files such a PKG-INFO (for example containing dependency tree information).

- Propagating back information gathered from build or test runs, for example highlighting areas missing test coverage, or which are "hot" from a perf point of view.

Only some of these would be appropriate to go into the mainline version of the tool, which is why it's important to support plugging in these capabilities for the users which need/want them.

Sorry but why Berlin? Munich has several very successful startups and excellent engineering community with serious investors and companies who can be either clients or potential purchasers of these startups. Why do you chose Berlin as a representative of German startup scene? I know they had some success but there is so much more in Germany.

Polygons with a negative number of sides: http://chalkdustmagazine.com/blog/thinking-outside-box

Polygons with a fractional number of sides: http://chalkdustmagazine.com/blog/fractional-polygons (hint: the pentacle you may summon a demon with is a fractional-sided polygon)

Polygons with -2 to 2 sides: http://chalkdustmagazine.com/blog/overturned-polygons

I think the analysis of [-2..2] (including the boundaries, 2-sided 'polygons' that he calls 'digons') is questionable. Polygons consist of straight lines, so bending lines and introducing loops seems unjustifiable until you can tell me how to distinguish a bent line from a curve. Until then, polygons with -2 to 2 sides are just lines, at least the parts we can see in our mathematical universe. I can understand the temptation to fill in the number line, but perhaps we should just accept that some of the shapes are singularities, hidden within a mathematical event horizon.

Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere, but I haven't found it yet.

One of the things that I do like about GitHub is actually the community/social aspect. For example, I follow projects I am interested in, and I can see notifications from all of them on one page--without filling up my email inbox. I also follow users who have similar interests, and I often discover new projects when I see in my feed (which I read via RSS) that they've starred a project that sounds interesting.

I think it's great that you're supporting email as a first-class way to interact with the services, but will there also be anything like GitHub's "Notifications" page?

Another feature I enjoy on GitHub is the ability to view issues and PRs across all of my repos from a single search page (e.g. search for "user:repo-owner-username is:issue"). Will sr.ht have anything like this?

Thanks for your work and for sharing it freely.

It's a response to the BBC or anyone else rebroadcasting it too. I still haven't seen it, maybe a screenshot, big deal, its pixels on a screen. Seeing pixels on a screen should not cause great distress other than the real distress that exists. If someone finds the knowledge that some racists did a racist thing (that didn't actually harm anyone) extremely distressful, that person should take extra care to avoid such information then, they are abnormally sensitive. That is fine and understandable for an individual.

For everyone else, get over it.
I have to adjust my own pressure as well, since I can't afford to do another sleep study (American Healthcare rocks!).

Node and especially MongoDB make it a non-starter for me. I work with about 20 small businesses and agencies, they want something simple to setup and deploy and move around, like WordPress (and even that is too complicated for a lot of them). Smaller companies usually don't have IT expertise in-house (unless they are funded startups, and then their expertise is a 20 year old with Linux on their laptop). They and their agencies outsource back-end work, but with their budgets and constraints they can't invest in or take risks with complicated setups and technology that appeals only to programmers.

I know no one wants to hear it, especially on Hacker News, but PHP + MySQL rule in the small business/agency space, and for good reason: easy to deploy, easy to find add-ons and libraries, easy to manage, well-understood, low risk, lots of people who understand the tools.

No, the scenario goes like this:

1. You, the victim, go to badguy.example, perhaps as a result of a phishing email, a sponsored link, or it's a typo squatter.

2. badguy.example tells you it's Good Guys. You need to log in (as is usual with Good Guys) so you go to the login screen...

3. When you do this the Bad Guys connect to goodguy.example and ask to log in too, they get a SQRL code for goodguy.example

4. Bad Guys (still pretending to be Good Guys) show you the SQRL code to log in to goodguy.example

5. You scan the SQRL code and press OK

6a. Now the Bad Guys are successfully logged in as you since this was their SQRL code for your account.

6b. You receive some error message or other stalling tactics to buy them some time.

The SQRL user has been taught, over, and over, and over, that they need to check the domain name shown in SQRL. They did, it said goodguy.example, as they expected. Unfortunately that was worthless because what mattered is that they were visiting badguy.example in their web browser.

Gibson is aware _this_ can only be fixed the way U2F/ WebAuthn fixed it, which is to modify the user's web browser, not just add a fun phone app. And once you've done that modification (Firefox, Chrome, Edge in beta, Safari to come) the QR code and phone app plays no useful role. It's a hangover from Gibson's original idea that doesn't quite make any sense once you fix the actual problem.
Maybe something similar to a triple store.

The astronomical tax breaks and other perks that these companies get when relocating or building new seem a little strange when I think about it. Municipalities are going to have to deal with fallout from 50,000 new people, for example. Road use will go up, traffic patterns will change, maybe require more first responders, sewer, utility usage will go up, there may be environmental concerns.

What justifies giving out the perks (and probably bribes, if we're being totally honest) in light of the real costs to municipalities that get a relocated or new multinational? Is it all just increased tax revenue on the new jobs brought in? Because we should say that's the economic benefit. It's not at all clear right now. As a resident of Denver, one of the semifinalists, I think, I was watching this pretty closely locally, and we just got phrases like "economic benefits". Nothing specific.

I think a lot of what you're looking for is going to be possible through generic interfaces I plan on writing. It's not going to take the shape of "you can write code which executes on sr.ht's servers just for your repo in particular", but rather things like "you can POST to an API endpoint on git.sr.ht to annotate the sources in your tree for a specific commit sha with links to pydoc et al". builds.sr.ht would then be the place where you could run arbitrary code to automate this.
Meltdown in particular is worse than that, I believe. It would allow user-space programs - even regular sandboxed javascript in a browser - to read memory from the kernel and maybe other processes within the same OS?
> But in reality looking back I see that a lot of that sh*t-shoveling has actually made me much better and wiser at my profession,

I agree with this to the point that I seek out the stupidest, most concrete, least automated solution as a point of reference before I build anything smart.
"Regular old satellite internet" is very high latency because it's few satellites in high orbit. SpaceX is doing many satellites in low orbit, resulting in much shorter paths and low latency.

Latency for medium to long distances could be better than regular fiber, both because of straigher paths and because speed of light in the relative vacuum of the satellites' orbits is higher than speed of light in fiber.

We don't know yet what kind of equipment the satellites will have, but fundamentally bandwidth is constrained by bandwidth per covered area. I guess they will sell gigabit or better to cargo ships at sea, similarly good speed to rural regions, but nothing interesting to urban areas. Providing fast internet to a city via satellite would be very challenging, providing lighning fast internet to lone people in a desert is much easier and more profitable (no competition).
This is an oft-repeated platitude that doesn't really say much. What does it mean for them to be the same? Objectively, we can state that "the left" and "the right" have completely different policy objectives, so in the context of politics, how do we reconcile "being the same" with "supporting totally different government policies"?
It's a memory leak in git.sr.ht, rather than an issue of scale, thankfully. I'm working on it. After a few refreshes you should get through, and the problem is isolated to git.sr.ht in particular.
I think there’s a difference between drinking and drunkenness. Southern Europeans tend to imbibe at meal times so their overall intake might be higher. However they don’t have a culture of getting smashed on the weekends. Northern Europeans do however so in the aggregate it may all just wash out.

There’s generally a lot more physical activity in Europe because public transit is good and vehicle ownership is expensive and inconvenient.

Their salt intake is probably similar. But the link between salt and hypertension may not be as strong as once thought, especially among individuals with low salt sensitivity. I have mild hypertension myself that is correlated with weight rather than salt intake.

But the main point is the given definition of a Western lifestyle isn’t descriptive of the lifestyles of a vast number of Westerners.
