Except in the U.S. judges can organically evolve the system as new questions arise and better resolutions are found. The continental legal system is much more bureaucratic. This matters because it's easier to push boundaries when the rules aren't written in stone, permitting more rapid and responsive evolution of the law.

Interestingly, the U.S. is slowly moving toward a more continental-style legal system while the E.U. is actually moving toward a more judge-made law system. That's because fragmented jurisdictional power in the E.U. has forced European judges (at both the national and EU level) to embrace de facto law making powers, and increasingly embracing doctrines that look exactly like stare decisis. (French-style civil law is a relatively recent development, anyhow; Europe isn't adopting the English system so much as reaching back into their own legal traditions to find a similar model of jurisprudence.)

By contrast, the bitterly partisan, winner take all politics in the U.S. has seen both the Democrats and Republicans attempt to centralize more power, both at the state and federal level. And judges, especially at the Federal level, increasingly eschew their law making role (albeit inconsistently). This is, arguably, why many common law copyright doctrines long relied upon by the open source community have begun falling to the wayside; judges increasingly prefer sticking to the strict letter of the statutes, effectively discarding the old doctrines that channeled and constrained their application.
No single human says this is ok. There is no human consensus this is ok. This is a form of non-human intelligence taking over.
You don't really need scouts around you for the logoff timer, you just need to watch dscan. Combat probes, which are used to scan down ships in space (in otherwise un-warpable locations) show up on dscan. Whoever is piloting the ship being seeded just needs to spam dscan the whole time. If combat probes appear on a short-range dscan they need to assume their current position is compromised and warp somewhere else immediately. This step is where a cloaked scout comes in handy, as they can easily and safely create a bunch of warpable bookmarks in space for you to use for this purpose.

It's a game of cat and mouse, where the mouse can sit afk with a cloak on for however long they like until they think the cat is bored or not paying attention. Also worth noting another trick if you have reliable internet is to stay afk cloaked until the daily downtime logs you off. This way it's impossible to be scanned down because everyone gets kicked from the server at the same time.
I had not seen this article. Thanks for sharing.
What gwbas1c is saying is that your question reveals that you did not really understand the linked-to article. Much of what you write is either addressed or irrelevant.

You question - twice now - if the proposal or solution to the problem is to ban alcohol. Literally no one in the article says that, including the recovering alcoholic. For example, "These scholars don't want everyone to become teetotalers, or for conferences to ban alcohol altogether. They just want to be able to tackle the social labors of being an academic without the expectation to imbibe." The recovering alcoholic also says she doesn't care if others drink at the conference.

You also only focus on the problems of alcoholics, when the article also talks about people with religious and medical reasons for not drinking.

For example, if a woman is not drinking, then (as the article points out) some people might assume that she is pregnant. I can totally see how this might influence, say, a hiring decision if the potential employer believes a woman is pregnant so wouldn't be able to teach in the upcoming term. (That would be illegal, but very unlikely to be caught out.)

You write "I get it, you have empathy". What these scholars want is for everyone, including you, to have empathy. Quoting from the article: Pearl isn't arguing that there shouldn't be any alcohol-related events, she said. She just wishes people would "be a little more attentive to what kinds of spaces we are creating, and who's being excluded."

The closest there is to a demand is the proposal that "not every moment of community would be structured around the consumption of alcohol".

Finally, the alcoholic we are talking about has developed long-term sustainable strategies, like "Buddies fetch nonalcoholic drinks so she doesn't have to approach the bar herself."
Non English forums tend to be much more diverse in my experience simply by having a smaller audience. You can argue with ignorant Joe on a small forum since there only a handful of people are active at any time and everybody knows everybody else, but you can't argue with the seemingly infinite stream of ignorant people on a larger forum like the main subreddits.
Hi. Linux system / embedded developer here.

There are many different types of jobs. I will assume you mean low level development on an otherwise normal operating system like Linux.

I would start by learning how Linux userspace is constructed. Dig up old Linux From Scratch docs, build your minimal system, experiment with it. Try to understand how different stuff is put together. How elf/static/dynamic libraries works, etc. Look at your running processes (there shouldn't be many if you do LFS) and try to explain everything you see (what this process does, how it does its job, etc.)

Learn how kernel communicates with userspace. What are devices? What are syscalls? What syscalls are available? How filesystems work? How devices work? Etc.

Learn what is the job of Linux kernel. How memory management works, what is virtual memory, what is the difference when programming in user/kernel space.

The best way to learn system programming is definitely not getting up to your ears in a single open source project. You need variety of knowledge because you want to understand in breadth how the system works. Once you get a job or you figure out something interests you more there will be good time to specialize (say you want to specialize in security or containerization etc.)
> there is no way Fi could be cheaper than T-Mobile or Sprint who are the Google Fi carriers

Look at it as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination. A carrier can charge a lot to their locked-in customers, and sell spare capacity at lower markups to people who have competing alternatives, as long as all not everyone abandons them and moves to Fi.
I really like the idea of building an issue tracker into the Git file storage! Would you recommend it for use in real life projects yet?
there is a "deprecated?" server software.
i use it daily, its called Pichat, and so far it seems to be deleted from the internet. it is a chat server/webserver/fileserver. it comes in linux, and win version it is on horde as well as the SDK for it. Tell me if you would like to know more. this is not my software, if you [whomever that may be] are the person or part of the team that created this [pichat] please chime in.
Anecdotal evidence, but service was getting worse and worse with google fi (in San Francisco) over the past few months and I just switched to another carrier a few weeks ago. Calls were regularly dropping and data would cut in and out.

(I scrolled through the comments and didn't see this anywhere else. I think it's worth mentioning. I will miss the international coverage and included hotspot... And as someone who is on WiFi most of the time, it was cheaper than any of the major carriers.)
As a consumer, I don't really care.

I long ago realized that most big companies I do business with have probably done something sketchy in terms of lobbying / dodging regulation, whether they've gotten caught yet or not, and decided to stop losing sleep over it and just use the services that work best for me.
I'm curious how uLisp compares to esp-lisp (https://github.com/yesco/esp-lisp) on the esp32, which appears to be the most performant of the microcontrollers listed.
I think (ironically) you're projecting things onto "intersectionality" that aren't there in the normal meaning of the term.

I have direct experience of people making emotion driven, unjust, evidence-less accusations in the name of "intersectionality." Online, you can see people doing the same. In personal discussions, it's absolutely amazing the number of times someone contradicts what someone else says and comes out with their evidence-free version of what they're "actually thinking." Again, it's not the ideology per-se. It's the tribal emotion-driven meta around it which makes people behave in unproductive ways.
You can use any car as a taxi, but to use for commercial driving your car needs to be just that - a taxi. So you’d spend say $1-2k to register it as a taxi (new license plates, install a meter).

So there are hundreds of taxi companies and Uber is just one and like all the others. Uber cars are registered with the vehicle authority as taxis and have regular meters.
You keep calling it a public offering, but the reality is, a public offering is selling parts of your company for cash, aka a stock, ownership has it's privileges, without those privileges, you aren't selling anything to the public, the public is giving you money in return for a piece of paper and a fuzzy good feeling inside. I don't invest to get a fuzzy good feeling inside. I donate for that.

Donations are not investments. They're expenses. Investments must have a return of some monetary vale, or else it's an expense.
Isn't it 2GB?
And on their website I'm charged $45 for some reason.

Also the plan says 3-month plan (regular price $23), so your price seems to be promotional.
For many carriers the roaming costs are so outrageous you may as well pretend that it is not an option.
Half-Life has been dormant (2007-2019) for longer than its release timeframe (1998-2007).
Right. Whoever does this needs to be competent at building a safe, stable, and usable router OS.
^this. You get what you measure.

To design a better issue tracker, figure out what you need to measure for success and then design a tool to measure that track changes that drive improvements in those metrics.

For example, "feature completeness". When you achieve N of M features complete then you have an Alpha release - now build something to track the progress of those features.

The same for bugs - they're really an aspect of your overall product quality. Figure out what quality metrics are important and build something to track the progress of improving those metrics.
Not only the quality of the system itself, people forgot the documentation! I still use my father's TEAC AX-55 MkII amplifier: the service manual includes full PCB printouts, block diagrams, schematics, and component list with all the part numbers and description: http://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/pdf/telecharge.ph...

In the rare case something fails, you can literally keep rebuilding the damn thing just like Theseus' ship. This level of documentation is just completely alien for today's consumer electronics.
The difference is Microsoft doesn't provide you with your phone service do they?

I think this highlights the dangers of bundling all of your services through a single point of failure. Something Google probably is the most known for.
You can mix and match parts from different vocabularies on the Web. See it as a JSON object where you can add any key you want, except that some of those keys have meaning to some applications. Apps don't have to understand everything, they just access what they need.
We just add fields to the ticket in Jira to track those various responsibilities and use a hook to auto-update them as part of status transitions.
tubers have lots of carbs though
There is a really neat JIRA plugin called "structure". That allows you to put issues into a hierarchy. We use these a lot to create roadmap, or breaking down very complex use cases and track the big picture. Would be a first class citizen in my ideal issue tracker.
And users expect their internet services to be fast. If every request involves leaving the backbone to go all the way into your home and then back out again, good luck with that.

I think the better solution is to leverage cheap vms. At least performance stands a chance. It's just a matter of making cloud computers accessible and usable to non technical people.
Kent Beck's TCR: A pulverizer for coding tasks
That's not proven. Time to take responsibility for your own actions.
Only to the extent any damages are incurred as a result of removing or disabling access to the content, which hasn't happened. See 17 U.S.C. 512(f)(2) (emphasis mine):

(2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,
shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
My wish list is:
1-a todo app with nested tasks
2-A visual drag and drop to calendar view
3-Two ways synchronization with google calendar
Nice to have:
Add an email to todo list
This is a JIRA management failure - why is the same workflow being imposed on different teams?

Either the company has agreed that all teams will follow the same workflow, then you do as described above, or each team owns their own workflow definitions.
That's why I placed this Ask HN a while ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17704828

I pitched that idea at startup school, and got accepted. However, after a while I pivoted to something else, as I decided that the name registry and DNS market is just too crowded. I was afraid that we'd be spending 99% of the time and budget on convincing people they need secure domain/DNS management, instead of building the technology.
I would agree with this, if you're using Google's personal free products for running a business. Get locked and you're in real trouble.

But Fi is a service that the customer is paying for, they should not be subject to automatic lockouts without any way to get it resolved other than to "start fresh."
Ask HN: What VPN Service do you recommend?
I have been traveling a lot and honestly I don't feel comfortable with Internet connections at various airports and access points. Researching a bit, there are many VPN services to choose from... and it feels a bit overwhelming!

I could setup my own using OpenVPN or use a SaaS service, however, not all VPNs respect privacy (e.g. there were some controversies with HideMyAss).

Supporting video streaming services like Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Video would be a nice plus.

What VPN do you use when you are away from home?
Do you work for Lyft or something?
Whatever happened afterwards, what happened before was that a random recruiter sent a random person on the Internet a form email.
Even GZDoom (A Doom port) has software color lighting now, so I'm shocked this doesn't have it, that's all.

And engoo is very good; I was one of its beta testers!
I'm considering the same thing and interested to hear answers.
> A nation that does not have either strong (and not hindered by law) unions or a minimum wage to support the most vulnerable (your mention of which in the context of your comment comes across as libertarian concern trolling) does not deserve to "grow".

Increasing minimum wage is liable to cause a host of well-known unintended and paradoxical adverse consequences:

https://www.cnbc.com/2014/07/14/the-real-problems-with-raisi...

To you it seems like a simple way to benefit the poor, but in reality it raises unemployment - a far graver problem - among these very poor you are ostensibly trying to protect.

You can flame that as "concern trolling", but these are not just very real concerns - they are real consequences that have been observed numerous times across history, including in this very case in Korea, where unemployment has risen substantially as a result of the recent minimum wage raises.

> My solution to this is simple - abolish the wage.

Truly an excellent practical suggestion for the modern growth economy.

Your comment offers zero practical solutions, or anything but empty moral posturing and inciting inflammatory language.
With Microsoft, it makes good sense for them to not have any support. They can save a lot of money that way, and there's simply no downside. Does it anger customers? Sure, but who cares? It's not like the customers are going to abandon Microsoft.

With Google, there is at least a chance they could move to the Apple ecosystem.
Me too. Rode the train all down the coast from Naples to Taormina in Sicily on the Inter-city. Such an amazing line. Took about 8 hours but totally worth it.
I loved Forth and Chuck Moore's 10x philosophy.

I went from Forth to Ruby, from a notorious write-only language to a language that's a joy to read & write.

I occasionally wonder about the possibility of a forth/ruby hybrid, stack-based interpreter/compiler with the readability of ruby.

Ruby's OO is based on message passing. A message-passing OO is something that could potentially be implemented elegantly in Forth.
The Ethereum project is about providing a complete decentralized web3 stack - not just a blockchain, though the database layer that provides is a critical part of it.
Cars blocking anything (at least where I live, including driveways which are part of the sidewalk) have a very short TTL. Usually within 10-30 minutes the car is gone and some towing company is slightly happier.
I can relate. We have two Fi phones and there are bunch of problems:
1. If you use the max 10G every month it's pretty expensive.
2. Support is indeed bad. I once contacted them via the app and was told someone will reach out to me within 24 hours. No one did.
3. There are technical problems such as people calling me when I'm on wifi and they cannot hear me when I answer and instead go directly to voice mail. I was told to clear the cache but it's not always helpful.

Things I like about Fi:
1. It's really nice that it works pretty much in every country. I travel often and it's supper convenient. (it's more expensive than getting a local sim in many countries but more convenient).
2. I don't need to listen to messages since they get transcribed automatically. (I'm assuming this is not a Fi only thing)

So overall the main differentiation for me is the travel part. For people who don't travel out of the country the Fi doesn't provide anything special.
Ask HN: What technology has your office recently adopted which made life better?
Is there anything you've recently seen in your office regarding ANY technology which helps makes life easier? I know, vague, but that's intentional! Anything new, 'cool', or useful. No wrong categories, as long as it's something you could envision or presently have in your office, I'd like to hear about it!

The backstory of why I'm asking is the company I've started working for love tech, and they're extremely hungry to try anything that could help the anything from the whole organization(600 people), department, or individual employee in having an easier/better life in the office.

Thank you for any feedback HN!
I stand corrected. Thank you for the clarification!

I still learned something "new" from the article, I was only aware of the ceremony issue that "everbody knows" of.
Which vegan milk is best for the environment?
That is a great suggestion. I did rely on more than just transit information however. Using translate, looking up services and reviews for services, reserving a rental vehicle for two days, etc. Some of my needs couldn't be anticipated such as meeting a bartender in Osaka and being recommended a Japanese band to check out. Researching how to purchase tickets was something I didn't anticipate needing to do while planning the trip.
Depends on the individual's travel style I guess. I'm a very spontaneous unplanned type traveler so I use a lot more than just navigation data during the day. Things like venues' reviews, event tickets, hotel bookings, train tickets, travel blogs, local payment apps, rideshare apps, answering VoIP calls/messages/voicemails from home number etc.
Weird, mine works great. What service is your source of audio?
McConnell doesn't want to rock the boat by bypassing Trump's veto. He has a re-election campaign in 2020 and if he angers Trump now, he might get primaried by another Republican, similar to what happened to several politicians in the 2018 race.
Why is it you think that this is woo?
Taxing pollution, instead of taxing productive activity, is a quality tax. Instead of spending money to combat pollution, people are incentivized to find solutions. Instead of punishing productive people to get government money, polluters are punished.
Yet another reason why "your phone number is your identity" (aka sms "2fA") is a horrible horrible horrible idea, especially for payment companies.

If you're paying your cell bill with your credit card, and your credit card requires sms authentication, you've entered an infinite loop.
Same here. I am actually an AT&T customer and the $10/day for international roaming is nice as a backup but for the most part I just use my wife's Fi data SIM and pay a lot less.
This article covers some of the history of this discussion: http://www.airforcemag.com/MagazineArchive/Pages/2008/Februa...
This sculptor got heavy metal poisoning from working with mussel shells
Form letter or not, this is a big company throwing its weight around with spurious legal threats. They can go fuck themselves and they should be told as much, loud and clear and in full view of the public.

This sort of thing is toxic and destructive to a free society.
It might still be a little too early, I might still make non-compatible changes in the data model. But that's not too far.

I plan to eventually have the ability to keep reading older version of the data, but it's not there yet.
The web is decentralized, and we already have control of our data. The problem is, people keep giving it away.

I'm fairly confident that 98% of the population of the earth doesn't give a crap that their data is collected, or that they don't "control" it. This whole "decentralized web" thing is just privacy nerds trying to convince us that we need this, when really no regular consumer is asking for it.

It’s not true 3G. It shows up in your tab bar as 3G, but it is throttled to 2x what the 2G is, something like .25 Mbps. It makes it marginally useful, but nowhere close to Fi. I’m saying this as someone who runs Fi on an iPhone, using it in a half broken hacky way is still superior to TMo
The best way to find out is to go interview at big cos, and ask them about all of your worries about process. One team can have a ton of process, the other can barely have any. It's really mostly a team and department basis thing.

In my limited experience in talking with other people, FAANG tends to not have as much process as finance, IBM, insurance or other 'boring big companies'.
Unfortunately, his proof is broken and didn't help community make progress on the problem.
It doesn't matter if you use offline signing for your zone if someone owns up the account you log into to control your domain with your registrar, or owns up the registrar. So no, even with offline signing, DNSSEC did nothing here.

But it's worth keeping in mind that most organizations can't use offline signing, because the duct-tape-and-baling-wire solutions DNSSEC applies to people dumping zones with NSEC records all require online signers.
OpenWRT/LEDE is a thing. But don't expect cheap home routers to be able to run useful services-- the cheapest hardware is truly bottom-of-the-barrel, even OpenWRT had to drop support for lots of devices.
Dual-booting on my 2014 MBP. Works surprisingly wonderful, even has pixel-perfect scrolling in Chrome. Battery is great as well.

Only using it for development, and overall it was a great idea to switch from trying to set up macOS with Docker and other stuff.
