I have a friend who had a beef cow farm (which is slightly different, but close enough). Basically, you goal in building a herd is to strategically breed the best cows that you can. When you start, you buy some cows. Depending on what you are doing, you may or may not keep a bull yourself (you might artificially inseminate the cows, or pay for the services of a bull). Generally speaking you inbreed the cows, looking to develop specific traits that you want and occasionally breed your cows with a bull that you don't own for specific purposes (essentially improving the blood line). Once you have your initial cows, you almost never buy another one -- you just pay to breed with a higher quality bull. There are obvious exceptions, but that's the general rule.

It takes time to breed a herd of cattle. My friend had an outbreak of foot and mouth and he lost his whole herd one time. It took years and years and years to build it back up. At best you can double your herd size every year. In practice, though, some cows don't produce a calf every year. Also, there are cows that you don't want because they don't have the traits you want. But once you have the herd size you want, it is a steady state thing.

I tried to find some place to find the volume of cattle traded that's not destined for slaughter, but the data doesn't exist. It seems that dairy cows are traded mostly via want ads on the internet these days. Here's a typical site that specializes in it: https://www.dairylivestockservices.com.au/stock-for-sale/ Notice how all of the livestock is fully grown. That's because these are livestock from failed farms. I don't think anybody sells calves because there just isn't a market for it. You can't sell calves for meat either, because as I mentioned earlier, it's not economical (the price for a meat calf going to slaughter is only $125!)

It is sad to think about it, but the reality is that milk production necessarily relies on the death of cows to stay economical. If we drank a lot less milk and were willing to pay maybe 10x the price for it, then you could change that fairly easily. However, it's just not possible at anywhere near the price point we have for food right now.
This is really one of the worst articles I've ever read, ever.

Not only because it baits you with an interesting introduction suggesting that we'll get a really neat history lesson, but because it ends abruptly with wildly irrelevant, unsubstantiated opinions.

Why are big glass towers bad? Who have they harmed? Why is new development bad? Is there any evidence to show that these buildings are not as energy efficient as they claim to be? Which landmarks have been destroyed? In what way are buildings designed to make money bad? None of these questions are answered and we're expected to assume that the author's opinion comes from some position of authority.

It truly is conservative in the most primal sense: I don't want things to change, I don't know why, and I'm upset about it.
That's not a right granted by law.
I agree, I would fire the customer.

That said I was asking OP what privacy laws he thinks were violated.

KY was one of the major producers early on. Deep history there.

I don't think this is a good use case for "mobile apps should die", quite the opposite - how will I download the content and watch it on subway, airplane, etc?

I don't do much video when connected, prefer written format, so without offline capability I literally have no need for video classes etc (even Netflix won me over once I could download for offline viewing).

As well, ten percent of your user base ain't nothing!
No that's not how it works. Blocking public sidewalks is illegal (although inconsistently enforced) in almost every city, regardless of who lives there.

My preferred method if this were to happen to me would be:
1. Receive notification not in person
2. Have the option of discussing with my manager in person after I had a chance to process it.

Big news like that takes a while to process. I believe I've read before that if you are firing someone, you are supposed to tell them and then not say anything else until they do. That seems unnecessarily cruel to the person getting the bad news since it puts them very emotionally on the spot.

But I've never been on either side of that, so who knows.

It depends what you need from it. If you need real-time-like behaviour, it may be a problem. If you need static thread-to-cpu mapping, it may be a problem. Etc.

Know your requirements and then you can decide on the runtime.
Is that wrong? Would it be like a gay guy calling a homophobe a fag?
What would happen if you adjusted the quantities of microbes to levels consistent with someone younger?

Alternatively, what if an older person lived with a group of younger people? It has been observed that microbes related to obesity can 'jump' within members of a population.
I know it's against the narrative, but I find PayPal's support people (the ones you phone up, at least) to be both empowered and helpful. They have gone out of their way, on more than one occasion, to help me out and get my account back to normal.
You have to trust somone under DNS. The only trustless naming system I can think of is over a PoWChain (eg example.btc).

Still you have 3 choices in DNSSEC/DANE,

- get a .xxx, trust dnsroot.
- get a .xxx (when .xxx is as easy to register as xxx.com), trust dnsroot.
- pick one tld out 1000s and get xxx.ttt, and trust ttt and dnsroot.
Yeah, they explained in one of the tour videos that they spend most of their time in the "upward" position.

The lights for example always come from the "ceiling". Apparently it helps with the visual frame of reference (since you lose your sense of balance) and more convenient to read the thousands of various labels at a quick glance.

No offense but I completely disagree. I would prefer an email over a 1v1 conversation. The employee is not getting fired, they are getting laid off. There are no conversations that need to be had beyond severance discussions.
Those roll over usually monthly. Mainly entrance exits are actively watched, or those with an “alarm” state. No one will watch those other interior ones unless there is reason to (property loss, altercation, etc., for evidentiary, legal purposes).

You are also made aware of this. It’s not snuck up on you.

No projects were canned here.

The 3-something year old hardware dongle is no longer being made, that's it. That's the entirety of the news. The Cast project as a whole is not being canned. Cast-enabled speakers, receivers, etc... are all still widely available from a wide number of manufacturers, that's not changing.

The OP's point, though, was that the glibc linker (ld.so) doesn't modify code; it largely limits itself to modifying tables of pointers. For access to shared symbols the compiler emits code that indirects through these tables, such as through the global offset table (GOT). The machine code itself is mostly generated to use relative offsets, so the linker doesn't usually need to change static opcode operands.

It does this because ELF is a newer, more abstract executable format. By contrast Windows and AIX have evolved an older dynamic linking strategy which depends more heavily on the linker patching address constants embedded in the code, presumably because of the better backward compatibility. I'm too young to have had first-hand experience with the details, but I do vaguely remember the Linux transition from a.out to ELF and it seemed rather disruptive (though it was all magic to me).

But the Windows approach isn't rightly self-modifying code, either. It's more like a delayed compilation stage. Self-modifying code implies code that rewrites itself dynamically during runtime. Runtime normally means in the normal course of regular program execution, as opposed to link time. From the perspective of the code, link time is a one- or two-time event--static linking and, optionally, dynamic linking--that initializes the application code prior to its first run.
Why don’t you ask the people at Bridgewater?

What you don't see on the virtual map is that the station is very much alive.

There's constantly experiments, maintenance and whatnot going on. What may look like loose cabling/equipment here and there is probably someone that was in the middle of their work and had to get out of the shot.

The more critical systems (like life support) are all behind the panels for the same reasons your realized.
I've used a variety of Cast items for as long as they've been available, and set them up in many homes with success. My experience is your router and/or APs (if separate) are usually the culprit. Wish I knew exactly why though; many TP-Link devices I've used struggled, particularly an Archer C1200.

Things like identity management and data storage make these barriers pretty deep. “I can delete my post and it basically won't be accessible anymore” (there can be physical exceptions so long as they're legibly exceptions to the social reality), “I don't have to think about how big my images are and can just post as much as I want”, “I can lose any of my own hardware and everything will still be there because it's in the cloud”, and “I can tell who my friends are based on common knowledge within my circles of their unique name which is easy to remember and meaningful” are all things that heavily constrain what you can do “on the inside”.

Mastodon has meanwhile managed to either do something right or get lucky wrt the path dependency of building structures where prosocial hosting behavior is convenient: a whole bunch of mostly-volunteer instances have sprung up, adopters have managed to make instance choice part of identity so that the domain-part isn't just a “meaningless extra thing to remember”, and federation remains reasonably strong; meanwhile, financial support for server costs has mostly leant toward the Patreon model, allowing a fraction of generous users to help support a bunch of free riders while not having to directly participate in administration. At the same time, despite Mastodon having almost exactly copied Twitter's model in terms of available user interactions, the zeitgeist has repeatedly suggested that users getting on board for the first time often had no idea what instances even could be, and had to have the very concept explained several different ways before it got real traction. Random instance death is also a problem that's tempering the mood nowadays, because keeping the server up requires enough motivation which sometimes runs out, and some instances have started having problems with media storage requirements, which, see above (though I'm told the internal architecture could use some optimization too).

There's something deeper in here surrounding the thorough conflation of type with instance in the popular side of the digital world; I feel as though something critical to the more literate concept of this didn't make it into the default folk model, such that only centralized services are legible. I have some hope that Mastodon and related ActivityPub-based federated services absorbing waves of people fleeing the abusive behavior of major social media (such as the recent Tumblr exodus) will make a dent in this and cause the appropriate concepts to reach critical cultural density.

That legal content part seems a little like damned if you and damned it you don't.
I dont think is even remotely true; certainly is patently fall for anything involving a financial time. Your claim might be true for logs, but even then, its far more relatable to the person looking at the logs if it is wall clock time. I dont want to have translate every log statement I'm looking at from when the system or process started.

Personally, I deal with trading systems in the US; we record all timestamps in EPT down to microsecond resolution. Currently only deal with US equities, so dont need to worry about DST. I would prefer timestamps were in UTC, but well, legacy systems...
The more obviously objectionable thing with Sargon, from Patreon’s POV, is probably that he’s a Gamergater, if we’re talking about controversies of the past five years.
As an example if it recorded audio (I'd guess not) then recording a private conversation between two mechanics would presumably fail the one party consent standard in Canada. I'm not sure if video only has the same standard but it may.

For someone like Western Digital, that's probably a huge deal. I don't think it saves the RPi folks much. I suspect they get a loss leader deal. The total volume can't be that high, but it's good press for Texas Instruments.
People do things they never thought they could only when they tell themselves the right story.

More than "coping" or "making it ok" it's how mountains get climbed. Try contributing to a story that gets someone to summit a mountain. It's much more fun and satisfying than analyzing a story.
Their moral imperatives or society's agreed upon moral imperatives?
Lol it's not that big a deal if you lose a job when you have around 12months living expenses saved up. So that goes twords living expenses, then you get unemployment at 60% of income. People need to move on, and stop being so emotionally invested in their work.

You are most likely an at-will employee. You or the employer can terminate the relationship immediately giving any reason or no reason. Just have money saved up and don't be afraid to quit without notice to something better if you need to.
Additionally, one of the big cash crops of KY has been Tobacco, at least until the Fed started heavily subsidizing corn and penalizing farmers who grow too much tobacco.

Tobacco looks very similar to marijuana and many farmers would have small bits of marijuana dispersed amongst several hundred acres of Tobacco.

...and those are companies I have no desire to ever work for.

I tried it once. The company was an abusive hellhole, and I'm glad I got out.

Edit: Also, if you're working at an early-stage startup and making below market rate, you better be a founder or your employer is screwing you over.
To everyone claiming, that an employee has a right not to be recorded when working: in practice, he doesn't. There are security cameras on every floor in every office building. There are security cameras in every bar, restaurant, and gas station. And there are security cameras in every dealership, too.

Ask HN: What are red flags/dealbreakers you look for when interviewing for jobs?
Most people are familiar with the "Joel Test". Ideally, companies are able to check most of the boxes on that list.

On the flip side, what would a list of "dealbreakers" look like? i.e. if a company checks 8 items or more on the list, it's probably not a good opportunity?

One literally defines the other, so no. Unless you are speaking from a universal perspective, which unfortunately isn't really part of the collective consciousness - and therefor inconsequential to daily life and the issue at hand.
A global tax would be feasible if all governments are on good terms, and are willing to cooperate on their taxes and surveillance of assets. I do not predict this happening any time soon.

The US taxes citizens abroad, but you get to deduct taxes paid to your country of residence. Since the US has relatively low taxes, this usually means citizens abroad pay no taxes to the US. It may be more nuanced than that. I have never filed taxes while living abroad, this is just my immediate recollection.
I used their mobile app because I wanted to download the videos for later viewing in a place with a poor connection. But even basic feature like downloading videos did not always work correctly. It was quite frustrating. So that's why I abandoned their mobile app.

I think maintaining a mobile app with basic functionality like downloading videos should not take much effort. We don't need a fancy mobile app where you can learn programming by dragging blocks of statements.

Anyway, I still love Udacity. I already graduated from two nanodegrees.
>Hating companies like this is like hating a snake that bit you...

That's true, but in this case it's pretty clear that one defective personality in particular was responsible.
You are correct about the false dichotomy, but the correct way of doing it would have been to let everyone know who was being let go before they made the announcement. No reason to leave people wondering for any period of time.
Oh wow! Thank you for linking that. I didn't know that it was on archive.org. That book was one of the ones that I left in Canada when I moved to Japan. I really regretted it! For anyone interested in the topic, I highly recommend reading it.
Or people just opted for speakers with Chromecast Audio built in than messing with the dongle. There's a ton of cast-enabled speakers on the market and the volume control experience is much better with them, too. There's also an awful lot of cast-enabled receivers on the market as well if you want to drive your own speakers.
Me buying the record would help, but it's not enough. The payment model needs to change.
Are you seriously saying that a woman choosing to wear a hijab like in a place where you have to do it is empowering? Or the equivalent would be you are going to hell if you don't do something (like a Muslim whose family says she must wear one). That's rediculous.
To be fair, a firing in an 11-man company can be a pretty big deal.
If it was agreed upon then it would be illegal.
Based on the photo in the article, it seems like it was not covert. If it was covert, how could they have turned it off? I would certainly acknowledge that the dealership should be notified that it was recording, but it doesn't seem clear that anything was sprung on them.
That wouldn't achieve anything. The broken payment model remains.
