To add to the SNC case, they said that depending on the govs decision, that they would move headquarters to another country. It became a political and national interest issue. Do you simply nationalize a company that says that? Would the precedent be worth it?

A similar issue happens with c-suite, the average person seems eager to get 'unethical actors' jailed, however, the government has to consider the impact it creates in the long-run. For example:

1. Will businesses take less risk because of personal risk to c-suits?

2. Will this lead to stagnation in riskier projects?

3. Should a company headquartered in Canada follow the same letter of the law in other countries where bribe is a pre-requisite to business success?

4. Is a country willing to lose a powerhouse business for the sake of justice? What about the trickle down impact in the economy?

5. What is the moral cost of letting something like this go? Does it create a negative moral precedent?

6. Does imprisoning a c-suit for X create a precedent for imprisoning them for Y, Z and F?

7. Will there be lower quality c-suits because of the inherent risk of going to prison in that country?

Whether we like it or not, there are unintended consequences to decisions we sometimes feel are the moral one to take. It has always been a difficult issue to balance.
Just wanted to add that besides the security gains there's a real performance gain. If you've got a slow-to-build codebase where you've made a small modification you can use a remote artifact cache so that all the parts that don't change just get downloaded from when someone built it. Then you have faster incremental compilation.

You can do this with Bazel and Buck and with a few assumptions and some configuration even with Gradle.

Depends on which browser and which add-on loadout you use.

On Firefox, with appropriate small changes and with uBlock Origin, uMatrix and a few other add-ons, you bet I can adequately control the data accepted by my browser.

If you use Chrome, well that's another situation. Don't use Chrome.
Data Security Breaches – Times Are Changing
Why can't we talk to men in tech? Are they not allowed to voice their concerns? If men are running the show, why were they being systematically underpaid at Google? Why are there so many anecdotes from men in this thread about watching less qualified women move ahead of them? Do you not believe the data? Men being upset by this isn't "toxic", it's a natural, healthy and correct reaction to the data they were presented with.
They did it for stable performance, because failures are in fact frequent. Things are much worse once you go out into the public internet, where different hosting providers communicate over all kinds of networks with all kinds of issues.
> goes against the free market economy countries are trying to propel

This is confusing. Canada and other countries are not "trying to propel" a free market. And well they shouldn't be, free markets don't work! They cause significant increased pain in the future as externalities that the market didn't price in come to fruition and hurt everyone.

Costs will be much higher in the future to fix problems that we could solve at reasonable cost today, due to "free markets" running amok and causing problems.

Canada is not pursuing a "free market" and it shouldn't be. Important things like banking, and infrastructure, construction, etc should be heavily regulated and the government should have significant participation to protect the public.

As it stands today, corporations abuse the public's wallets buy polluting our air and water and then assuming we will pay the bill to fix it while our health is failing and our cities sinking.

Free markets are bad and we should not vie for them.
Sounds a lot like the satellite launch market before 2010.

That's probably what I would say if I worked at Facebook. The uncomfortable line of questioning would be if you asked me WHY I don't have a Facebook. And I would explain why I don't like giving my attention to an AI driven news feed and how I don't think Facebook is having a positive effect on most user's lives. Then I'll start wondering what I'm doing with my career.
My only complaint is you need a separate account for each address. (So if you have a PO box and a residence, you need to sign up for 2 separate USPS.com accounts to get informed delivery for both)

I've never heard about "Web Design 3.0" before, but now I know a term to describe websites that care more about artistic expression than bringing across information.

Seriously, most of the examples of "Web Design 3.0" look like a piece of modern art. That's great for showcasing your portfolio as a web designer, but if you try to be artsy with the menu of your restaurant I'm going to the competitor.

Compare the "Web 2.0 vs Web 3.0 in MS Word" comparison. On the left: "Web 2.0" (looks like "Web 1.0" to me) with quickly skimmable paragraphs, concise information and a clear overview of where to look for what information. On the right, a flat-out clusterfuck of random boxes and pictures that doesn't tell you anything at all.

By the way, we already had free positioning in the "old" web; stacked floats and absolute positioning are nothing new. It became easier with flexbox and css grids, but only for people writing actual HTML/CSS.

Whenever I see a website made by a tool like this, I generally don't even bother reading what it has to say. The themes are always form-over-function with huge swathes of whitespace and PNGs that suck up my mobile data. If you're a designer and looking to make a website, please get someone competent to write proper code for you instead of wasting your design on an awful tool like this.

Well full disclosure we paid 90€/guest for a largish menu, there's plenty factor that are involved including head count and menu size, but average venues here were between 1k and 5k so even in a smallish wedding like ours food escalated quickly and reached over that cost.

We also ended up moving the wedding sunday which was weird but cut off some costs dramatically, we paid the stay for our international guests etc, so, as before, ymmv

I kept an Excel somewhere if people are interested in that sort of thing.

> I'm following this story more to see how countries answer the question of...

I think the problem is governments not making any red line.

You can’t find any country without similar cases, but almost all the time the penalty is paying money. Which clearly doesn’t stop anyone to take the risk. Perhaps in some cases their profit is so unmeasurable that they don’t even call it a risk. (Many Oil contracts in the past with bribes involving corrupted governments in the middle-east)

Which is so unfair when you compare it to incomparably smaller cases that a normal citizen might face.
Not parent, but for me it is because signing in with my google account is a relatively bigger commitment. They have my email, they can send me marketing content, among others.

On the other hand, I still have no idea what their product does uniquely outside of any todo list. Thus, there is no value for me there outside of the proposal of "Deep Work" which I remember fondly due to the book.

In simple terms, signing in with my account extracts an imagined cost (A company(?) has access to me), and the value presented is not enough for me to justify that cost.

Adding other screenshots, and descriptions of what the application does would allow me to understand what I am getting into, before deciding if it's worth it for me to pay that cost, and thus make an informed decision as to whether I want to sign in or not.
Signing in gives access to user data. In return there should be some utility to the user. If there is no implication of the latter, the user won't give away the former.
Based on N of several hundred, restaurants can generally do a pretty good job of banquet-style serving for large groups by using a limited menu and keeping things simple. It's probably not quite as good or as customized as ordering off the menu, but it can definitely be serviceable or better.

Catering a meal for a large group is tougher without a local kitchen. If you're imaginative about meal choices (e.g. optimize around BBQ of some sort) or if you're willing to tolerate lines for e.g. food trucks you can do better. But in my experience you have to make some choices to serve a large meal where there's no permanent kitchen. (I did work for a caterer once upon a time.)
The only "fair" wait to do things is to reward people based on merit. Artificially propping up someone because they're less "privileged" (as determined by ?) is the epitome of unfair.
This is an inefficient way to operate.

It's not clear what is the main problem this talk/slides want to solve.

There's a lot of research and advancement in the things that matter:

- Rust is showing how linear types can get a nice balance between safe systems and great resource usage.

- GPUs and TPUs are the next-gen somewhat general purpuse computer hardware, but none of them came from operating systems research

- containers partially solve the resource sharing problem, though Plan 9 what the author refers to is probably a better system design for containers. At the same time there's a huge pressure at the big companies to improve resource sharing (like the performance and UX of lambda functions) while minimizing the side channel vulnerabilities, so I don't think there's no money put into it (this is a multi-billion dollar problem for these companies, and the CEOs know it, as they have to keep building the datacenters).

These are just a few examples from all the advancements that were happening, I don't see any reason why universities would do so much better than companies.
>The government can already open your non-first class mail without a warrant, and if its first class mail, I'm not convinced it'll be hard to get a warrant.

But IIRC first class mail travels rather quickly. Now you need a warrant for the apartment/house because it was delivered before a warrant could be written. Much harder to get.
Hi, "failed" founder here. I didn't make a million dollars but basically got acquired for about 3 years of not taking a salary.

One thing many people forget about startups is that you're building assets, not revenue. The company, the code, the whole customer acquisition process, customer loyalty... all that is worth something to someone and can be sold at a price. We were acquired by a startup that just wanted to grow faster. It was another sales channel for them and far cheaper/faster than putting marketing dollars.

So there's rarely ever truly a failure. Just waiting for the right buyer if you've built something decent. This is usually what they mean by "don't die". I found that it's easier to sell a company than get investors, though.

After that,

1. A VC who didn't invest gave me several fun jobs teaching programming (his core background was education). I've been doing it on and off for 3 years now, training for programming certifications, and it's been a good portion of my income and connections.

2. Joined a couple of startups as a CTO, all fellow founders who I met in accelerators. They didn't go well and maybe I was not competent enough for them. Maybe they just had limited resources.

3. Joined a Big Corp. Friends thought it was not part of my personality to do so. But really, it was trying something I hadn't done, and proving to a relative that I could. It seemed like a step down, so I stopped after half a year.

4. I regularly get and turn down CTO offers, sometimes two a month. Many were more established and well funded, but I'm not willing to commit to them.

5. I went back to freelancing. I make about 5x more than I did before my startup. I specialize in MVPs, so my startup experience is essential to current income.

But notably, I didn't have a lot of options when starting a startup. Had I gone the non-startup route, I'd be working for a company in some large team, making $1000/month in a developing country.
Are both devices from the UK? The reason I asked is because I moved from the UK to Canada before HDMI became a thing and we had to deal with PAL and NTSC signals - my DVD player wouldn't work in Canada until I got a PAL to NTSC converter to connect it to the TV.

Is your Play Station 2 PAL (UK) or NTSC (American)? The Spectrum +2 is (I would assume) PAL.

I'm reaching, but if your PS2 is American and thus already NTSC and works, then your converter may be expecting an NTSC input. If you convert the PAL to NTSC before feeding it into the HDMI converter, it should in theory work.

There Isn’t a Silver Bullet for Climate Change
Well, I think it's because my partner and I avoided the Wedding Industry(TM) entirely, as are every other couple we know who want to avoid paying through the nose to act out other families' stereotypes of a "good" wedding, all to make our families miserable.

So we never employed anyone who Works on Weddings, and years later, our friends still insist it was the best wedding they've ever been to. All for ~$6,000.
I'm not sure I'm okay with the measuring by outcome. So I like #s 1 and 2, but not so sure about #3.

By rewarding a couple for having children, you are also punishing couples who choose not to have children and focus on their career. A couple shouldn't be punished because they choose to have a child, having children is human and our system should support that. But if a couple chooses to have children, they shouldn't expect to be rewarded with benefits that bring them back up to the level of a person who forwent that experience to focus on continuing to work.

If you're worried that by only offering the opportunity to benefits, that men will disproportionately turn them down while women will need to take them (because giving birth physically harms the body), then 1) that just means the benefits involved should be made to be more appealing to men as well, and 2) I'm not completely convinced that's a bad thing

Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

Interesting insight. But saying "all games are clones," and using that as justification to take an indie studio's idea doesn't come across very well.

Yes, a lot of the games but studio's churn out are all very similar. It's by design. Games are so expensive to produce that if you have a formula that works, you follow it.

Conversely, small games are a labour of love from studios. Devs often quit their jobs to work on them. And frequently, the large studios/producers will eventually buy the fresh idea though an acquisition, since they don't want to gamble on new IP themselves.

By appropriating another's idea, the freshness is lost for whoever plays whichever game first, and in this case, the company with marketing dollars is going to win. I can see the Injustice there. The player banks are at least probably separated but not mutually exclusive. If Zynga successfully cloned Minecraft, do you think it would have been the cultural phenomenon it is today?

Anyhow, you are certainly right that gamers frequently drag whatever they love to hate at the time through the mud. Sometimes I feel it's justified, sometimes I don't. I have a hard time rushing to defence of a company that rips off games because "everyone does it."

I think it's wise Zynga's leadership pulled back, but curious that they didn't see it coming to begin with.
Ask HN: May I work remotely while on a tourist in the USA?
I am sorry for using a throwaway account as the topic is quite delicate. I work remotely as a software developer for a company registered in some offshore zone. The work is completely legal, and I have a contract. It can happen that later this year I will have to visit the US for quite a long time period - about 3 months on a B1/B2 visa as a tourist. I have concerns about being able to legally keep working for the company while I am in the USA.

If it’s not legal and I still have to be there, I probably could stay under radars and work? I have my personal laptop and going to work in a rented flat where I am going to stay.

What are possible ways for local authorities to reveal my activity and what circumstances it could cause? Most likely it is going to be Miami.

If it’s a total no-go, I am not going to risk and would better stay in my country and try to achieve the goals of visiting US in another safer way.

Please share your experience with such situations, any advice is appreciated!

> Startups are usually a gamble at good odds

Good odds for who ? The investors putting money in 100s of startups and making 10.000% ROI once in a while ? Sure

What about the founders / early employees who fail 90% of the time after putting in countless hours of overtime ?

When the dice you play with is a 1d20000 and you need <= 2 to succeed you have to be real tough, have a strong support network and know what you're getting into. I guess it's part of the game but we should stop romanticising the startup life, it's far from being a matter of "keep trying".
