You are bringing up a very good point. We will build the solution to this - we will incorporate in different countries, and offer to take care of the legal part as a service. Then it is real employment and not freelancing like on other platforms.

It makes a lot of sense to allow people to work together regardless of where they are based. So someone needs to build the solution to make it easier/better.

Btw, Remote work doesn't have to be across countries.

The linked article (edit: it has been changed) is rather confusing so I'd like to highlight the fact that the underlying study[1] hints at two very specific observations:

1) The effectiveness started to decrease after 18 months: the population of Ae. aegypti progressively returned back to its normal levels—and this despite the continued release every week of 450 thousand males of the modified strain.

2) Some hybrid offspring between the release strain and the Jacobina population are sufficiently robust to be able to reproduce in nature. Even though it was thought previously that they would be too weak to reproduce and thus not pass the modified genes to their offspring.

The first observation is concerning because this means that this technique might only work in the short-term. This is probably not a silver bullet to eradicate mosquito-borne diseases.

The second observation is probably much more worrying because it hints at unwanted side effects. We don't know yet the exact consequences of having these hybrid strains roaming free in nature. The most likely explanation however is that since they are weaker, they'll be progressively selected out and disappear.

Yes. It keeps the unwashed masses from traveling, and is no problem at all for the rich.

How about we charge flights based on net worth, so they're proportionally expensive?

One way for this is for each flight to contribute X% tax points and increase your income and property taxes...
I mean, it's not really that new. Saudi Arabia, with our help, has been turning an economic vise on Yemen throughout the conflict, using the weapons we supply to embargo their ports and choke off the flow of goods, even essentials like food and medicine.

The only difference here is that the relatively much weaker combatant found a unique chokepoint in Saudi infrastructure that was easy to exploit. You couldn't, say, cut off an entire country's food supply with drones in this way. My suspicion is that it won't be too difficult for the Saudis to harden their defenses against this particular kind of attack.

My research suggests Cash Flow is a better investment strategy - Based on personal experience, US$600K can control a residential real estate portfolio that pays $96K annual profit (after property manager, insurance, mortgage, etc.). To get the same at 5%, math suggests a $1.9M principal (minimum) is needed, invested in paper assets.

You can get screwed even with insurance. I had a bike accident in 2006, breaking both of my arms required me to get a bi lateral radial head replacement. It turned out the hospital to which I was sent was out of my insurance network, and I ended up getting an out of network bill for $50,000 USD.

That doesn't mean much.

The usual problem is that there are big swathes of the population living in regions without a healthy/diverse/growing economy. (Eg areas that are or once were monocultures of one particular sector, and/or are/were based on natural resource extraction. So basically fossil jobs and auto making are the prime examples.)

The needed retraining, relocation, and/or regional revitalization is completely non-existent in the Trump era, and it wasn't really effective/serious during the Obama administration either.

So, nothing to do with how much a plumber makes in a big city.
1) You told me I don't know the whole story, so I took your advice

2) When I find the truth, you say I am saying its the partial truth.

So basically, what I am getting, is that you are right because you said so.

> you intend to misinform and mislead

You made an accusation and I refuted it. The person misleading others is not me as I like you to recall that you are the one accusing Hong Kong of "starting it".

Please provide some evidence to back your claim instead of just saying you are Chinese (I am assuming not from Hong Kong). That means absolutely nothing in the context of the argument.
Freelancer is also horrible on the client side fwiw.

>Now every engineer is personally responsible for corporate decisions.

This is the entire point. If the "corporate decision" involves doing bad things, and then you go ahead and implement those bad things as an engineer...you deserve to be held responsible for your part in it.
Are they? I've not seen that mentioned anywhere.
i was only responding to your question whether there is any difference between the two beside the port number used which there is, in a significant way. You can not point a DoH client to a DNS over TLS server or vice versa. That said there is no reason a DoH server could not be recursive or consult a traditional (probably recursive) resolver for its response.

I think the only benefit of DoH is that is unlikely to be blocked. Otherwise it feels more like a hack and at least i am not concerned about OSI models ;)

Actually, i tried to setup a DNS over TLS server some weeks ago but while it worked like intended i had a hard time to get reasonable response times even after somewhat serious fine tuning for the session setup (i used haproxy at server side). But this was mainly caused by the fact that systemd-resolved established a new connection for each and every request and i did not find a stub resolver that did not either.
I am curios about the technology used.

The drones as I understand are similar to what is described here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Ababil

How can the Houti rebels fly 10 drones hundreds of kilometers into Saudi territory? How do they pilot them? It must be a very expensive attack to undertake compared to forms of "asymmetric" warfare (say a car bomb).
Do you have sources for that claim? I find shocked that 600k gets you 96k yearly. 16% returns are absolutely ridiculous for real estate, AFAIK
> “no private entity can claim monetary power, which is inherent to the sovereignty of nations”

From a legal perspective, there are three things that create monetary power.

1. The money created by the monetary power can be used to settle tax liabilities. Currently no currency except Federal Reserve Notes can be used to settle U.S tax liabilities.

2. The money created by the monetary power is not subject to capital gains tax when it is transferred. Currently, everything that pretends to be money is actually considered property and thus subject to capital gains tax on every single transaction. The tax is measured in its value in money.

3. The monetary power has the power to destroy money's value. In United States v. Kahre, a guy in Nevada was paying people in gold coins that were issued by the U.S government and circulated in daily commerce in the 1900s as legal tender. He used the face value of the coins stamped on them to report and pay his income taxes. The IRS said to him that those coins aren't money any more, even though they were at some point. A 15 year criminal conviction resulted.

By virtue of the taxing authority of governments, only the government has a right to monetary power. In fact, without tax authorities, the monetary power wouldn't exist.
Is Huobi crypto exchange using an IPO loophole to land stock exchange listing?
The correct thing to do is bind-mount the user's home directory, pivot_root(2) and then open the files you need. That way, file descriptors opened in the user's home directory aren't from a namespace where the host's root is reachable.

Introducing a foreign file descriptor (unless you really know what you're doing) is a bug, assuming your goal is to be secure against escapes. Even AppArmor would struggle to protect you from this.

> I would rephrase this to say, in America we have less trust in government and more trust in the individual.

I've seen that said many times in fora (fortunately not so often on HN), but the only people that seem to subscribe to it are the preppers and the gun fanatics, usually using some kind of reference to words that have not been updated in a couple of centuries. It's about as useful as wanting to back to the glory days of England.

Americans trust their government on average just about as much as people of other countries trust theirs, with a notable exception made for the Swiss.

> The distinction is this: No one is forcing anyone to use Libra its your choice. : )

And it is the choice of the democratically chosen governments of France and Germany to decide to so something about it, and I'm fully in agreement with that.

The last we need is for the Zuckerbergs to have the power to start dictating monetary policy, the amount of power he has today is already way more than he should have.

Note that neither Germany nor France has decided to 'block bitcoin', or outlaw it (which they could do, but it remains to be seen how much effect that would have). And we are not forced to use that either.

Most FIRE practitioners in the US buy their own health insurance. It is modeled into their expenses the same as mortgage payments and property taxes.

Real estate tends to be leveraged.
Any time I see a statement put out by any of the tech incumbents, I ask myself, "How does this statement benefit the company?" And usually, there is a clear path to an answer. It's for profits, it's never for the public good. These are companies after all. If they're asking to regulated, it means buying a seat at the table, creating the illusion of regulation, with none of the downsides imposed by actual regulation.

Anyone knows what type of drone they used?
I'm of course not familiar with the specific mindsets and the history of this decision, but I want to share a bit of cultural perspective from Germany that is so far not really considered in this comment section:

Germany is very, very keen on preventing powerful entities from acting outside of regulation and similarly, if not more, on preventing a single entity to get in control of everything. This is largely due to some foobar in the last century, which I'm sure everyone is aware of.

So if Facebook, 10x of Germany's population comes around the corner with a proposal akin to "Hey do you mind if we just skip the paperwork part and just control currency, while actually being a social media tech giant" there going to be up against every trick in the book. This is not hypocrite behavior because Germany allowed some fun regional currency project no one is aware of some time ago. This is much more protecting the idea of the German society.

And personally, as a German, I'm really glad about it. You remember the hundreds of cases of worked with a scummy developer on an app once, now I'm blocked out of my email and all my files stories? Now imagine that, but with money and with a company who never even bothered to pretend it isn't evil - this is gonna be a no, thank you!
"Providing for security is also inherent to sovereignty of nations, but private security firms flourish."

I'm sorry but you are drawing a false equivalence. Security may be inherent to sovereignty, but you would have to argue that a MONOPOLY on security is inherent to sovereignty, in order for your argument to apply to currency.

The article mentions how Windows reads an ACPI table, looks for a specific executable file, and willingly runs it. It's not the BIOS forcing anything to happen, Windows goes out of its way to look for an .exe that is bundled in the BIOS and then happily runs it.
I don't disagree with you, but I think a lot of commenters here are talking past each other. We all agree that having sex with a 17 year old girl who is being abused and manipulated by a billionaire pedophile is inexcusable. I personally don't like the use of the phrase "child rape" to describe it because it's the same phrase you would use to describe the violent rape of a toddler. If the terminology we use to debate this subject equates those two acts, how can we ever have a reasoned discussion? One of those things makes you a sleezeball, and certainly deserving of all the social and professional consequences of your actions. The other makes you a vile monster, and deserving of removal from the earth. Both are crimes that warrant prosection. Failing to acknowledge the difference between the two is a dangerous path to go down.
They're websites that scan the entire internet to see which hosts are up and responding, and which ports are open, and then make the data available to researchers.

If "monetary power" is "inherent to the sovereignty of nations" (quoting the article), they're also against bitcoin.

I doubt the use of the words "private entity" was specifically intended to exclude decentralized currencies. It probably actually means "anyone who is not us."
Well that one is easy to answer - it's obisouly in the term "private entity". Bitcoin is not a private entity, corporation or even a determined set of individuals. Obviously neither is gold itself.
Cue 50 posts about how "we're all in this together" talking about irrelevancies like recycling their supermarket plastic bags and using metal water containers. No.

The consumer end source of the problem comes from tires and the use of synthetic fabrics. As far as I know there is no effort at all to do anything about tires (using regular vulcanized rubber presumably would help). Synthetic fabrics, you actually can do something about. Stop buying them; your spandex pants are destroying the environment.

The other sources are pellets and coatings used industrially.

Abramowitz and Sanders (2008)[1] is a good article showing the debate going on 10 years ago over whether or not we were even seeing polarization, which supports the possibility that tech is a spurious factor.

A really cool causal factor (e.g. Green, Palmquist, and Schicker, 2002, [2]) is the effect of civil rights and voting rights acts in the 60s. Essentially, young conservatives subsequently started primarily joining the Republican party and it took 30 years for the effects to really be visible (kind of like messing with pH levels where the color eventually just changes).

This isn’t a terribly helpful anecdote. There is plenty of ongoing research into why there are higher rates of allergies in developed countries.

I’m sure early exposure to allergens help (and is AFAIK recommended practice now) but other things play a part - I’m sure I saw some research recently suggesting that one reason developed countries have higher allergy rates is due to lower prevalence of parasitic worm infections.

The natural world is complicated.
“VR Simulation for first responders” sounds good.

I really didn't get this idea when it was first proposed, and I still don't. I'm about as far from an expert as you can get, but it seems to me that if you modify the genes of a wild population such that they produce less viable offspring you've just reduced their evolutionary fitness. That would leave a gap to be exploited by the members of the species whose genes you did not modify. On the surface anyway it seems like that might be what happened here.
> In July, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, a nonprofit research organization in Boston that evaluates medical evidence, concluded in a report that there was inadequate evidence to justify the immunotherapy treatment over simply avoiding peanuts.

To save you some time reading the report, this is because the quality-of-life results that they normally use to measure effectiveness weren't published in time. Their rating of the evidence is "promising but inconclusive".
There's never any remote FPGA or circuit design work posted.
