Accepting content without verification certainly has a side effect of getting businesses on board the instant they open, too, but that's just a happy accident.

Moral and economic reasons. Without making it illegal for US companies to do it, there would be strong competitive pressures for companies to engage in bribery abroad, and honest US companies couldn’t compete.

Stepping back and thinking about the bigger picture, the FCPA is an example of a law that enforces economically beneficial morality. One of the things that makes America a good place to live, and economically successful, is that it’s not a bribe-based society. Bribery is a tax on economically productive activity, and it’s good for the economy as a whole to stamp it out.
Also the markers are shit from a sustainability standpoint - non refillable, take up space in a landfill, as far as I know unrecyclable, manufacturing chain involving at the very least plastic, ink, and whatever makes the tip, and gets tossed seemingly on a daily basis.
> it might be possible that the A14 or A15 iteration actually surpasses Intel's chips at x86-64 code as well when run through a Rosetta-like compatibility layer

Extremely unlikely, if only because x86-64's memory model is much stronger than ARM's. Emulating that on ARM would be a performance disaster.

Apple could have the internals of A14 or A15 have x86's memory model, but that's non-trivial changes and may have too much impact on their ARM performance to justify it. Seems far more likely we'd just see a Macbook that's just straight ARM with x86 code just not supported at all.

> What if the high-end chip was ARM? It's not just about raw speed, it's about how much performance you can squeeze out of a particular thermal envelope, or compute per watt. If ARM offers 2x the performance per watt, doesn't matter what Intel's chips do with hypothetically unlimited power.

For workstations it's almost entirely about raw speed. The power cost is a rounding error compared to the salary of the person using it that's now spending more time waiting on things and less time getting work done.
This is wonderful!

The tricky part of a multimeter is not the digital part (which is a knob in many multimeters) but the analog part: calibration, stability, noise. (And, as martin points out, safety.) The three-to-five-digit output here suggests an accuracy of ±0.05% or better, which is not easy to achieve, and it turns out at the end that the accuracy is about ±5%. (Expensive multimeters can deliver 7 digits, and for real.) In theory the STM32's ADC can deliver ±0.1% error easily, and its internal bandgap reference ±2% (accuracy, not reproducibility), so it ought to be possible to do better. But I happily used analog multimeters with several percent error for many years. In fact, I still do sometimes!

If you like this multimeter, you'll probably like the M328 "DIY hobby Arduino voltmeter" or "AVR component tester", which you can buy prebuilt from a variety of places. It does component identification — it's a full RLC meter, with automatically triggered transistor and diode test modes — but is unfortunately built around the AVR, limiting it quite a bit. And it usually (always?) has pretty poor precision.

Is there an alternative repository to Thingiverse yet? They're run by notorious bad actor MakerBot, so depending on them to archive our manufacturing knowledge hardly seems prudent.

I'm pretty much a free market capitalist and I'm all for that. Mandatory minimums should be established for when companies violate the law in ways that seriously harm people, things like this should have you spend at least a few months in jail even if you "didn't have knowledge". Perhaps a lifetime ban from working at any publicly traded company as well, sort of like registering as a sex offender.

I kind of wish there was a lisp with the "recompile on error and continue" feature of Common Lisp but without a massive standard library. A standalone SBCL program seems to be around 40MB at minimum. It feels like it would be doable if only CL wasn't designed with the kitchen sink included. Recently I've gotten into Janet[0] and really like the language, although I do miss CL's recompilation magic at times. It feels like a Lisp dialect with similar style to Lua: tables, coroutines, small language core, embeddable as a single C file, etc.

Hard to complain about foreign companies bribing people in your own government, if you are happy for your own companies to do that to other governments. It would be hypocritical.

It would be like the U.S. having nuclear weapons and then complaining about other countries trying to develop them. Or if the U.S. promoted democracy but then used the C.I.A in South America to overthrow democracies.

It did not, in the sense that it only clarified a constitutional issue. The crux is that while corporations are complex legal fictions, they are still ultimately property owned and managed by actual people with constitutional rights. Corporations inherit on incorporation the constitutional protections that the incorporators would have if they were acting directly. In the words used in the majority opinion of the court, "If the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech."

It's funny that people write a whole blog post about sth. which was normal in the early years of the web. I host my private programming website and travel blog, so I wasn't forced to change my behavior. I always write HTML code by myself.

The way to frameworks or generators was caused because of the site look changing. Doesn't matter on which page you are, you have always a menu provided with lots of links. The "Back"-button is not seen today anymore. How I miss these days guys, this is why I love exploring neocities from time to time :).

Good leaders tend to use the intelligence of their team to determine direction and design. They have meetings and empower team members to perform at 110% by giving the team members ownership and clearing away obstacles.

Less intelligent people are better at this because they have no choice but to do this. Less intelligent people do not have the cognitive power to design the full system so they have to resort to relying on the team to do it.

Very intelligent people tend not to do this. They rely on their own intelligence to direct the team and often times just use the team members as grunts to implement there grand designs.

No matter how smart you are, your cognitive powers will always be lower than the cognitive powers of the entire team combined, therefore any attempt to have the team follow your lead rather you following the lead of the team will be worse off.

The science supports this. Teams with leaders that empower team members are statistically more successful than teams that don't. My anecdotal observation is that these types of leaders tend to be the less intelligent types. They empower you and than get out of your way because they really don't have the intelligence to get in your way.

Here are two statistics about humanity that will lend support to my thesis. Your IQ does not correlate with how successful you will be in life, success being measured as how high you climb the corporate ladder and how much money you make as an individual. This is an actual correlation. In direct contradiction to this... the average IQ of a country highly correlates with the economic success of that country. These two statistics say something about the nature of leadership. It says that leaders succeed off the backs of people more intelligent than them.
I love seeing STM32s in these roles. Such fun and versatile parts.

The Mind of a Polyphasic Sleeper
$0.02 from a doctor who has cared for ECMO patients in the ICU, and delivered anesthesia for multiple open heart surgeries and heart +/- lung transplants. Generally speaking, patients on ECMO tend to do well if (and only if) they need ECMO due to a reversible cause. Examples include prematurity (kids will grow up), a particularly virulent strain of the flu in a child or young adult (I believe the OP falls into this camp), and open heart surgery. There's also some evidence to support the use of ECMO for a very short period of time in the setting of some acute strokes.

It's important to note that ECMO will NOT reverse disease in and of itself. This explains why some doctors believe that ECMO has no role in the treatment of patients with end-stage disease of any kind. Some even argue that ECMO amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. While I don't personally agree with the latter view, I do believe that we (doctors, patients, and their loved ones) must recognize ECMO for what it is: a means to an end.

While it's exciting to learn about technologies like ECMO, it would be a fool's errand to try to make it more portable, cheaper, etc. I strongly encourage the HN community to keep their eyes on the prize by applying their talent to discovering new ways to predict, prevent, and treat the conditions that land people on ECMO in the first place:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Liver disease
- Infectious Disease
- Prematurity
- Aging

HTML5 undeprecated the <b> and <i> tags.

https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-b-and-i-tags

And I think the history here is pretty hilarious.

- Classic html: <b> and <i> mean bold and italics.

- Then the semantic folks took over, deprecated these tags, and say you have to use <strong> and <em> instead.

- Now with HTML 5 the <b> and <i> are brought back, but they don't mean bold and italics. They have new semantic meanings that sound like hilariously over-engineered attempts to pretend that they have some higher purpose that fundamentally really just means bold and italics.

What I think the committees must have missed is that presentation and semantics are not separable; in many ways the presentation is the semantics. Bold text itself gives meaning to the boldness, inferred by readers and authors, based on how the boldness looks to them.
I’d love to hear more about your recreational uses for passage details.

Unfortunately, the way that corporations can own other corporations would render this moot, or at most, a mere matter of paperwork. Control of corporate assets would fall to the next highest "Corporation" in the chain, or, and this is a big or, if you went the more extreme route of forcing the assets/business into the stewardship of the State for the imprisonment term, the "life" of the corporation would need to continue as normal to meet the obligations the Corporation has toward vendors/shareholders, otherwise, they are out of what is rightfully theirs "without due process".

To meaningfully create a deterrent effect, there has to be a set of people who cannot avail themselves of the Corporate veil. That group of people would most reasonably be at a minimum the C-Suite, but frankly, I'm not sure you'd do anything but end up creating a practice whereby the "C-Suite" people end up becoming sacrificial, or are specifically structured into having some form of plausible deniability via isolation from information by underlings.

Corporations as a concept were extremely controversial, and rarely granted at first due to concerns of being able to absolve people of legal responsibility for actions undertaken under the flag of the Corp.

I think that a good middle ground would be that upon being judged against, a Corporation must for a period submit to serving a period in which their ability to operate is contingent upon the presence of State agents/regulators tasked with ensuring the previous behavior is remedied and no other problems exist. This includes all results of investigations into potentially illegal behavior becoming a matter of public record. This would have a satisfying parity with the practice of submitting to supervision by a parole officer.

There is some potential for abuse; but seeing as that system works just fine for petty crimes, I don't see why it wouldn't work for corporations.

There's also the bonus that it also in a way "punishes" shareholders by decreasing the opportunity for abnormal growth rates fostered by shady business practices.

Oh, one more thing.

Something may need to be done to prevent corporate engineering where assets are sold to other corporations, owned by a holding company, established for the purpose of buying out the sanctioned corporation's assets, poaching the employees, and effectively picking up where the last Corp left off, but cleaned of the government oversight. I'm thinking any liquidation or selling off of assets has to be handled through bankruptcy court.

You wouldn't necessarily want everyone staying, but I have the feeling no one would be comfortable with taking away the authority and mandate to clean up house from the Board of Directors, but I think the contents of their communique's w.r.t. the sanctioned corporation could become a (sealed for a time) matter of public record, with a State representative as a non-voting, or only tie-breaking vote on the Board

Anyway... My two cents.

As I understand it, the original reasons for including some indirection in the production of HTML were: (1) templating - i.e. injecting boilerplate at compile or run time. This would include standard headers, footers, <head> elements, etc.; (2) navigation and tags - both of which are highly laborious to maintain manually, and (3) RSS feeds.

I would be _really_ interested to see someone use modern web platform features like HTML imports, web components, JS modules, or something else to achieve the above features _at run time_ while enabling one to write in nearly pure HTML.

Not a historian, but working together as a group and not letting the people around you down are values that are emphasized from childhood. Leaving work before the people around you makes it feel like you are the weakest link.

Also there is a lot of weight placed on seniority, so younger people have pressure to work harder to make up for what they lack in experience. While a little less common now, it used to be understood that you shouldn't leave work before your boss.

I suspect people cynically demanding that CEOs be put in jail haven’t really dug into the facts of this or other FCPA cases. Holding the CEO liable for employee misdeeds is like holding teachers responsible for teenagers getting into fights or having sex. It’s a strong moral position to take (holding teachers accountable), but it’s wholly impractical and unfair.

In a company with a million employees, it’s guaranteed that hundreds if not thousands are doing things that are illegal. That’s just statistics applied to human nature. When the company is multi-national the problem is worse. Conduct like bribery or tax evasion that is condemned in the US is socially accepted in many other countries. When some store manager in Mexico bribes an inspector, the CEO of Wal-Mart has absolutely no idea that it happened. You can probably go several layers down before you find someone who knew.

The touchstone of criminal law is a guilty mind. When someone’s conduct is mharmful, we hold them liable for monetary damages. But only where there is personal moral culpability do we impose criminal sanctions. It’s the difference between wrongful death and murder. Ordinary negligence, and criminal negligence. This is an easy, bright line rule, and shouldn’t be compromised for anything.

Exactly. You said it more succinctly than I did.
And you move into higher tax brackets so take home a smaller fraction.

Quality is part of Japanese culture. You really see it when you walk around on the streets there. Our grandparents' lamentations of 'things used to last longer and be higher quality' would make no sense to a Japanese person because their culture never underwent the same cheapening that we did. (Assuming our grandparents were being completely honest)

In my experience, things in Japan tend to be higher quality, cleaner, and much more expensive. The three things I think of when I think about my time there are the clean streets, the old, clean, and eerily on-time public transportation, and the individually wrapped perfectly shiny apples at the grocery store.

Well, I think this article sums it up perfectly. HR

* is about treating humans as resources,

* exists to protect the company from liability,

* is not on the employee’s side,

* and doesn’t have the ability to get rid of anyone the company doesn’t want to get rid of.

Unless all those things change, HR is not going to be effective in preventing, reducing, and dealing with sexual harassment. There’s a reason I only go to HR for payroll and benefits issues, and these are essentially them.
