It really is a sign of malignant deception, to spin the conversation in such a way that leaves the audience with an impression that anyone finds advertising desireable.

Much worse is to offer a bargain between an experience involving ads that are merely irritating (a reflection of those most motivated to advertise) and being informed on and psychologically targeted by those who would drain your wallet (a reflection of the awareness of some of your most guarded secrets being placed in front of total strangers who want your money).

The official reason for Google to give up on this is that there was a real problem of incoming spam from lousy domains, and no major player wanted to play the federation game with them. It's not as simple as you make it sound.
My Google pay was recently locked, probably as a result of moving countries and using VPNs. To make matters worse, with a locked account I can't change play store countries and access the local play store, so I can't get the app from my accounting firm (Which would seriously make my life easier). It finally hit me that I don't own my phone.

I have (own is the wrong word) a pixel 2 and used to pay Google ~$400/year for YouTube, domains, gsuite, hangouts dailer...

My next phone will be a librem, though I'm going to wait until my pixel dies. I'll probably also buy a cheap iPhone for apps I can't get on the librem.

I have not confirmed it, because building it on MacOS seems to be a bit of a pain, but by glancing at the source code it looks like this encrypts passwords separately but with the same IV, trivially breaking security (even at rest).

See it's easy to fool ourselves believing that people are after who we are instead of the reality, people are after what we've.

People/Society look down on escorts, my parents will kill me or kill themselves with shame if they figured out I am doing hookers/escort.

Even if you do escorts, if condom breaks u are fucked, congrats now you've STD. Recommending hookers/escorts is not the best thing.

Job equality is to blame here, and social media which has commercialised beauty of women, and made them local to everyone not just you.

So now a person in another continent can flirt with my girlfriend and steal her literally keeping her busy with his sweet talks.
I agree. Problem is, and I say this as an aging white person, lots of white people in the US are scared to death of brown people. I'm not talking Seattle, LA, SF (area, where I live), NY or other metropolitan places. I'm talking about most of the US. All that red space in between the coasts.

Later in life, as I travel around and watch what happens in the US, I'm convinced more than ever this is the legacy of slavery still haunting us today.

There are a variety of clients for several platforms (desktop and mobile apps, browser extensions, desktop environment integrations). You can use pass without a single console line.

Not sure why this is downvoted, at first look this seems to solve things similarly to GNU pass except pass makes sharing password stores with teams etc smooth. Because of using GPG rather than straight up asymmetric encryption you get a key management for free.

Additionally crypto implementation seems hit well-designed. This would have been a lot better as a GNU pass client - exact same user experience but they wouldn't have to solve several important problems.

Keeping a "girlfriend" such as clanrebornwow's will also cost you a lotta money, in addition to the psychological cost. At least with escorts the transaction is clearer and better-defined.

I felt compelled to comment on this as I am somewhat conflicted in my feelings towards the automation of the checking process.

I am all for progress and automation where possible but I also like to put my faith in a human (or multiple humans) then going over it again "just in case"... in this case it would be someone following behind with another torque wrench to make sure the first guy hadn't missed something or was maybe using a defective wrench.

I understand that in many industries, checking samples or batches is the norm. It can make sense. But we're talking about a plane here... the margin for error must be tiny.

If my car develops a fault, hell, even if a wheel fell off while driving, I have a good chance of recovering safely but with a plane, something as catastrophic as my car wheel scenario could be massive. Plus, you can't pull over to the side of the road.

Also, with my security head on, I am questioning the smart wrenches (I confess to knowing nothing about them!). If the torque is electronically programmed, whats to stop hackers tweaking it a bit. Kind of like in Die Hard 2 where the bad guys reset ground level to be -200ft. How would we know?. Could someone change 300nm to be actually 200nm? I assume the inspector will look at an output to verify these things since they won't be going round with their own torque wrench now.

Hackers could have a field day with this as it could be years before the plane develops a massive fault and then you'd never be able to track it.

I've read enough about aircraft computer systems to know that they aren't perfect as it is!

I dunno. This makes me feel a bit uneasy. I always like to think that planes are over-engineered and triple-inspected by many humans for a reason.

Maybe I am looking a bit too deep here!
Life is Physics
The highest paid people I've ever known, as developers, work at Google. And that top salary was $650,000/yr. I have no idea what the benefits were, but I'm guessing substantial. And, from an HR friend of a friend, I found out that managers in a group make at least as much as the highest paid report.

Like I've been saying in this thread, existing citizens are going to lose out anyway. The labor market is global. There is no way to have the government interfere in the free market to preserve jobs for certain people of certain backgrounds, and not have it backfire. It is already backfiring, in many industries.

So if you care about not making existing citizens lose out—which I do!—find a solution other than protectionism. Find a solution that works. A UBI, so that not finding a job doesn't ruin your life, is a good one. Fund it with income taxes on immigrants who come here and do well. (And on a UBI you can spend as much time as you want training in an advanced skill or learning a complicated profession so that you can compete in another segment of the labor market.)

No country is going to do this because no country wants to admit to their citizens that the "country" and "citizen" abstractions are powerless against the reality of the global free market. It's too politically incorrect; people would rather believe that protectionism works. But it's the right thing to do.

This is true for lower apertures, but at higher apertures they become much more noticeable especially at high magnification. This is especially annoying for telescopes (it tends to look like this https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8679/16584213212_5b33222d6e_c...), which why astrophotographers use a trick called flat calibration to remove any artifacts from dust or smudges in the optical train. The trick is surprisingly simple: take a picture of an evenly illuminated surface (usually a flat box or a clear sky) and make sure your ADU is in the linear phase of the sensor (ergo, don't clip the highlights or darks). Then divide your original image by the flat ($T * mean(flat) / flat). This is of course easier with a monochrome sensor and works best with RAW data, but it can definitely be done with a color CMOS as well. In case you ever find yourself with hard to correct dust on the sensor: this trick might save an otherwise poor image.
In relation to that, some time ago I also stumbled across this photographic documentary of the whole US/Canada border:

We tend to judge people by their intentions rather than their results. E.g. personal bugbear: drivers who kill pedestrians or cyclists are largely not punished for it. More abstractly, governments and organisations pushed for adoption of diesel cars out of concern for CO2 emissions; turns out that has killed many people via air pollution. We don't generally hold those organisations culpable for those deaths.

I don't think "algorithms" changes this at all. People who have bad intentions are guilty. People who ignore or bypass established safety protocols are reckless. But people who made a good-faith effort to do something legitimate and turned out to be mistaken? There's no real precedent for punishing those, and it doesn't seem fair to make a special exception just because technology is involved.
To give a personal, subjective point of view of why I switched from hg to git:

- hg was horribly slow compared to git;
- I love the branchs model used in git to let several persons work on different parts of the same project, and I could never find a satisfactory equivalent using hg idiomatisms.

It is true that hg has a far better UI in general, but Magit fixes this problem for me.

Hi Dilvie, it's been a while. Mechanized was the first. The second was a job board type application I'm still under NDA for.
Top teir software companies might claim the H-1B program allows them to hire the best and brightest from around the world, but that's not how everyone else uses the program. It allows consulting/contracting firms to hire low wage tech workers who are desperate to stay in the US and lock them into a form of indentured servitude because the road to a green card or citizenship is now a decade long journey and changing your job effectively restarts that journey.
However, the garbage collection is typically _heavily_ optimized for short lived garbage. Try pausing GC by keeping a transaction open for an hour or more and see how the DB performance changes. So I think there's still probably a little extra smarts going into something like mariadb's system versioned tables.
1) It is not beginners friendly but for day to day dev you only need to understand few commands.

2) Data model brings speed that was not possible before. git won VCS space because of sheer performance.

3) Scale just fine. Just windows have a really bad filesystem and Windows codebase is the pathologic case.
Why Tesla Is Betting Big in China with a Shanghai 'Gigafactory'
What's the motivation or use for this?
OK, I am fine with amending my proposal to "any job that pays at least a living wage in the area where you live."

A bonus of that amendment is that if you want to bring family, you must all in sum earn a living wage for your family, but you can split that however you want, so e.g. you can legally bring children who aren't going to work or legally take more than 90 days to raise a child.

(Also it might embarrass the government into raising the minimum wage for citizens to a living wage.)

> This comment thread is a microcosm of every unionization discussion in which I've participated.

I agree with this part.

However, "but unions would try to level the playing field so I would not be able to maintain my (obviously well-deserved) elite status" is not a logical argument.

And "you appear not to want to make things more equitable" is not saying "you're a bad person"—and you saying it is says, I think, more about you than it does about ggm's post, which stated things in fairly value-neutral terms. Even his final remark was not a moral judgement of any kind, but rather an economic argument.

Of course nobody's required to support a system that doesn't benefit them. But (to take your position to its illogical extreme) if everybody fought tooth and nail to ensure that they got the very most possible without regard for what anyone else got, I don't think anyone would be very happy with the result.

So yes, this thread is very much a microcosm of every unionization discussion I've seen on the Internet.

B: [objects that with a union, they wouldn't be able to use their Mad (Negotiating/Programming) Skillz to get hugely better compensation]

B: [You're a socialist!]

I picked up on one specific part of a reply. I don't think its required to explain my entire world view to make that one point. Neither is it fair to start filling in blanks about my world view from one data point.

Yes I have reflected, I've reread that comment, and can see how someone could interpret it a certain way. That is why I have clarified myself multiple times. But you still seem to be ignoring what I have said I'm saying, in favour of your own interpretation of what you've already decided I'm saying. That isn't my problem, that is yours.

Ps if you read the HN guideline it says "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says"
I applied that to the first 2 comments of this long thread. It's a shame others won't extend the same courtesy to me.

It also says "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."

As far as overtime goes, in Japan you are basically pre-paid for 35 hours of overtime a month regardless of whether you actually work it, so I’ll probably never get any extra money for it unless things get really crazy.
