You're my hero. That's what I wish I'd done the last time I bought a new car from a dealership. They knew I was coming in to buy that day and could have given me the paperwork on the warranties etc to review, but instead decided to spring it on me just when I thought I was about to walk off with the car.

They also asked me to sign a form that said "I have inspected the car" before I'd seen it at all. Sickens me.

There's two parts, I think, to the parent's point.

Using your leverage as an employer to change the terms of the agreement immediately after the agreement has been made is unacceptable. It might be legal¹, but that doesn't make it right. And when you present subsequent legal agreements after I've started my employment that I "must" sign when I explicitly asked for them up front (and even when my employment agreement states that this is "the entire agreement" too!) — I mean, the company might as well put on their best impression of Darth Vader "pray I do not alter it further".

There's also the point about asking for HR to send you a copy. I actually did that in the case above, and it just never happened; HR wants you to go through the website, for everything. It's incredible how dead set some people can be, because "that's the system"! The entire thing was inane, and so fell by the wayside, and was forgotten about. About a year later, someone new took over, audited their predecessor, found out I hadn't signed, and sent an email "Hey, we noticed you never signed that you've read the pamphlet, can you sign?" and attached the pamphlet as a PDF to that email. Since that rectified the error (I now had a copy of the pamphlet) a signature was given and life went on.

¹IANAL. I honestly don't think "we won't fire you" should be valid as consideration in a contract. Thus, such agreements lack consideration, so they're not valid contracts, signature or not. I think some Canadian courts have agreed with this, but alas, I'm not in Canada. I'm still at-will, so IDK if it really matters per se, given what at-will is.

128 bits is enough to allocate 170 unique addresses to every milligram of matter in the Solar System (~99.9% of which is the Sun, about 2 * 10^33 grams). I think that's a more useful measure than the volume of the Solar System, which after all is mostly empty space. After all, what's the smallest (lightest) device which can benefit from having its own IPv6 address?
I was in exactly this situation at UTMB Galveston around 2002ish. I ended up in a room with the manager who decided to implement the policy & one of the hospital's lawyers. The lawyer was patiently explaining to the incoherently-sobbing manager that:

1. UTMB Galveston was indemnified from her mistakes by her employment contract;

2. She owed me something like 60000$ in unpaid compensation, and that the State of Texas would probably penalize her another 250-500k$; and,

3. A cursory investigation showed that there was probably another several million in fines & compensation, outstanding in the complaint, that she would have to pay.

We "settled" with an official apology, an official write up in her permanent record, & a change in policy. (She quietly "left" shortly thereafter.)

If you have to track your hours to be paid (or not terminated), then you are by definition not a salaried employee: you are hourly. The way the FLSA works is it asks how the employer treats the employee — if you're treated like you're salaried, then you're salaried. Legally, there's no notion of 'salary' and 'hourly' outside of this. (Ignoring all the real complexities of the law.)

Requiring an hourly worker to falsify statements of hourly work is a serious crime. The repercussions are pretty crazy.
Your question was perfectly reasonable and should not have been downvoted.

That said I'd recommend a quick keyword search on "assange" + "collateral damage" (which was the name of a polished version of the video he helped leak).

This is the same with other creative works.

Visual artists work that gains value is highly correlated with their network to begin with.

Right school, right galleries, never ever being seen in a lesser gallery. It makes me sad when an artist who wants to monetize is celebrating the mere fact of being on display as validation, when that very act is undermining the value of their work forever. Is the alternative of being in a prestigious gallery achievable for them? Probably not, and they should consider resigning to that reality if their time is valuable.

I think this is not known because when I listen to many talented and aspiring artists the things they value are so at odds with the things that would make them valuable. Things like "I never had formal education" being a bragging point to an aspiring artist not being aware thats not a bragging point to the people that the artist wants to assign value to their work.

I did the same and do it every time. I know their job is actually just to sell warranties and after-market products and the paperwork is a side-job, but I just can't spend $20-30k+ and sign a bunch of papers without reading them and taking some time.

Each of these places have their own branded contracts and similar, but unique documents that look like they typed up and copied some word document they wrote 7 years ago and have never re-printed.

And the descriptions they give are usually a couple works... This one is a power of attorney, it lets us handle title work for your car on your behalf. I had my title in-hand and signed it over to them, so I was really confused why that was necessary among several other things.

This sort of stuff is fascinating to me. There is so much design and forethought to level making that it just blows my mind. Whenever I am on the other end, playing the game, I never notice when the stage is built in a great way. I do, however, tend to notice whenever it has flaws. Maybe reading more about the design of it all will help me be more cognizant of the patience and dedication put into level design.

It would probably have been a huge boost to the economy - HK was doing far better than UK plc at the time, and had been for years.

Personally (as a Brit old enough to remember the creation of BNO status in the mid 80s) I see it as something to be deeply ashamed of nationally. We should have let far more get residency than we did. The fears were a) petty racism (partly driven by the Daily Fail and Sun, partly within the Tory party - Tebbit and others) and b) unemployment. Which has always struck me as absurd - even at the time when I was more Tory sympathetic politically - given how popular and well integrated the Chinese community has always been in the UK. Tebbit has always been an Enoch Powell apologist so no surprise on his views.

The Thatcher Tory government was presiding over near 12% unemployment in the UK and in 84 it was round about the peak post-war rate. They'd been elected on a smallish majority in 79 with the major advertising campaign being "Labour isn't working" [1] criticising the 6% unemployed. A rate so low that we've basically never returned to that level in the decades since, other than a brief spell prior to 08 banking crisis, but I digress. At the time of the Hong Kong declaration they'd just been re-elected on a landslide off the back of the Falklands victory, so they could have let far more in if the political will within the party were there. The Tories clearly had no problem with high unemployment - it was their policies caused it.

Governments lately seem to believe or act as though it is nothing whatsoever to do with them.

That's a funny coincidence. I was just writing a LaTeX document yesterday where the template had a separate table of contents for all the Plates in the document and I thought

"What the hell is a Plate in the this context? Whatever, I'm not going to bother looking it up right now"

Lo and behold, something shows up on HN the next day explaining what a Plate is.
Agreed. We kind of mixed them up gradually.
>The precise nature of WikiLeaks’ relationship to Moscow is not publicly known. A PolitiFact analysis found a documented pattern in which both parties’ interests appeared to align. Elements of the relationship might be clarified in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, though a full accounting of their possible coordination may never be known.

In other words: this is all speculation, there's no evidence of coordination other than it looking like it for people who are already wanting that as their narrative.

We don't know Wikileak's source. Assange has said it wasn't a state actor or Russia and he has a flawless track record for the information he provides. There's not even a real level of reliability in knowing who hacked the DNC or Hillary servers. The servers were never given to law enforcement to look at, and there are details in the story that don't add up to it being an external party that took the data.
Exactly, 44100hz is pretty good and minidisk, while lossy, was way way better than tapes... hell, even Chrome tapes couldn't properly store frequencies higher than 16khz.

Anything above 44100hz is just headroom for mixing.

And listening to stuff at 96khz or anything like that is the audiophile version of buying gold plated hdmi cables.

I think the problem here is that of 'who's bluff are you calling'.

Usually the people bothering me about these types of things aren't the one's doing the bluffing about it...they are in their own loop of compliance and nastygrams. They are trained to be compliant and don't have a mental framing that this stuff could be a bluff. That makes me a lot less confident of how they will react or their willingness to be rational.

>> The same can be said for some of the most popular open source projects. Angular? Originally by Google engineers, on Google company time. Tensorflow? Also Google. React? Built by Facebook. Atom? By Github. And the list continues with many-many projects.

It's not a coincidence that most popular open source projects come from big corporations. Their popularity has more to do with capital and social networks than actual merit. Also, I'm highly skeptical of open source projects which come out of corporations; their primary goal is not to help people, it's to gain mind-share and control.

There is not an ounce of altruism in corporations.

The 10th amendment which you referred to limits federal powers, but not state powers.

What in the Constitution (before 1865) prevents the US states from each being authoritarian governments?

For example, the original constitution allowed each state to have an established religion. Up until 1824, Massachusetts residents were required to attend the parish church. That's hardly respect for individualism and liberty.

And of course the US Constitution didn't respect 'Self Ownership' until at least the 13th Amendment (for black males), nor the 'liberty' of women to vote until least the 19th Amendment.

When did the Constitution ever respect the individualism and liberty of Native Americans?

And on the topic of liberty - racists in the 1960s wanted the 'liberty' to reject black customers (just like homophobes want the 'liberty' to reject gay customers) and considered it a Constitutionally protected right.

Is that part of the respect for liberty you think we have lost?
Honest, I’m impressed.
I think it's a little more complicated then that. A variable might not be linear in general but may be approximately linear within a certain range of values. You might fit the model on values only within that linear range and thus get a good fit. The model may be very useful inside the range of fitted values but garbage at extrapolation. As long as you understand the limitations it can still be a useful model.
Between my meatspace identity and Mirimir, which is my least ~anonymous persona, well-mixed means mixing successively by three different services: A, B and C. I mix via Tor, using Whonix VM instances, and Electrum wallets. So three Whonix/Electrum instances: X, Y and Z.

A to Y via B
B to Z via C

Bitcoin in Whonix/Electrum instance Z is available to spend, or transfer to another VM.

For transfers among ~anonymous personas, I just mix once or twice, depending on the desired compartmentalization level.
Honestly I still use passport with express and create a local strategy which is easy and you can keep it secure without writing much code. I dislike the idea of handing auth off to Google/Facebook in general, but I also don't generally work on anything where people would want them involved anyway.

What is nice about passport is that it makes it easy to support local auth along with many third parties if you need it, all without having to write lots of code. Not saying it is perfect, but with an expressjs app it is really simple and lets you maintain a user table etc even if you use a third party. Also with an API, I'd be really remiss to outsource auth, it just complicates things and honestly doesn't really add to security. That is of course, if you follow solid fundamentals.

>E is "a case study in how rapidly and unexpectedly the global energy transition away from fossil fuels travels up the economic chain and destroys value in the power generation sector," the report says. It points the finger at large shareholders, like Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street and Fidelity, who IEEFA analysts say should be doing more to push companies away from fossil fuels.

This is interesting way to phrase things? It's the fault of the index/hedge funds, who likely did not have any say, for the reason that the executives running GE weren't forward looking enough?
>and that hot mess of a platform we call JavaScript

I don't get why people are still saying this about JavaScript. Modern Javascript is far from a mess.
This is specially strange to hear from guy writing article about Visual Basic.
Also using constructs like 'we call', instead of 'I call', is not fair, because I don't think it is general opinion about Javascript.

Sorry for being harsh, but such titles drives me really mad.
There are many, many other advantages to open source than price.
I'm often annoyed at this idea of "press freedoms" which is not the same thing as "freedom of the press."

Let me explain:

Freedom of the press, like in the United States, allows one to publish whatever they would like, with very few caveats. There are of course libel laws, but even then, the 1st Amendment protects an enormous amount of speech and the freedom of the press is explicitly given in this Amendment.

"Press freedoms" is a new term used to facilitate the idea that journalists are treated unfairly or are somehow denied rights as a journalist. While it is true that journalist can be denied access to information, that there are many political hurdles and propaganda to wade through, that NDAs, paid corporate sponsorship, and of course, adversity, even death, can get in the way of a story, this issue is not an issue of laws or rights.

Ultimately, the idea of "press freedom" is to push the narrative that there some kind of world-wide oppression, or suppression of journalistic activities, particularly in the Western world, when in reality, the hardships most of these dearly departed journalist have endured are more indicative of the socio-political landscape and the nature of their coverage in the Middle East, where things are less egalitarian.

This will never go away. There will always be an interplay between those who want information and those who covet secrets for their own means.

The idea that we need "press freedoms" so that journalists are can report without "fear or intimation" is akin to the idea that astronauts should be able to travel into space without fear of explosive decompression or launch failure. This comes with the territory, both figuratively, and like we see with this site, literally. Risk is inherent to the profession.

An authoritarian regime would like nothing more than to write laws outlining "press freedoms," because once codified, freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, becomes bound by the rules of the State, and if the State likes, they can remove them, too.

That is the opposite of freedom.

This is why the 1st Amendment is written in such a way: "Congress shall make NO LAWS..."

I really try to stick to this approach.

My method is that I tell my kid to go to his room and that there will be consequences. I don't define them. Usually after I've calmed down I ask him which consequences he thinks he deserves. This also gives me and my wife time to get our heads together and discuss as well. Which really helps us stay on the same page on bigger issues.

Thanks for the validation from the other perspective.
There are other people contributing lots to GnuPG and alternatives. GnuPG development receives thousands of euro in donations every month. Werner also seems to run a commercial company around GnuPG, hope it is doing well. Doesn't seem as tragic as "The World's Email Encryption Software Relies on One Guy, Who is Going Broke", did i miss something?

FOSS authors shouldn't tie their destiny to a project they like to work on. It quickly gets ugly, one example being Eric Raymond, who took the stance that he will work on whatever he feels like, "because it has to be me who is doing it", dismissing loads of people saying "get a job and stop punishing yourself and your family". But still his supporters back him to some extent via Patreon.

You can follow your passion, but who's to blame if you don't maintain the balance?
If you have a kid to raise, but you'd rather hack on free software all the time instead, are you eligible for free childminders and nursery just because?

Can you be doing whatever you feel like, have no obligations to anyone, and expect to have a decent living?
What Was Timesharing
Interesting. I spent several years at a small regional power company where we did some initial work on smart meters. That was probably 10 years ago and from what I understand they're still trying to get it all working on a large scale. Are you referring to something more than smart meters?

One of the best examples of this is US Student Visa system.

US Consulates in India hold hundreds of events each year to entice Indian students to USA. They also actively tell students about their wonderful OPT and CPT programs and how they can convert to H1B later.

When an Indian student appears before the consulate officer the student must convince the officer that he/she will promptly return back to India after studies are completed. Even though it is perfectly legal to get a student visa, then work on OPT and get your H1B through lottery it is not something you can admit to the visa officer.

"there are quite a few things people in Eastern Europe miss from the Soviet days."

The people who were lucky not to end up in jail, Gulags, banned from good jobs or made to work in the coal mines, you mean. Who were lucky to be allowed to go to university and take on an interesting job.

Survivor bias might play a huge part here.

Of course there were people who benefited from the system.

You mention "quality education in the trades and higher professions for example." - what percentage of the population got to enjoy that?

Community - as long as you didn't dissent, I guess? What if you didn't approve of everything the government did? Then community turned into people spying to you and ratting you out to the secret police?

Childcare and healthcare are available in non-communist countries, too. Besides, childcare meant being forced to give up your children at three months, so that you could go back to working and doing your part for the common good.
