Comparing the mechanised murder of 6 million people to the processing of criminals is a bit of a stretch.

I work remotely.

I've noticed that one thing that make me work harder than in an office, is that I feel that I need to earn the trust that my employer gives me. In an office, sometimes I feel that just being there is enough to justify my salary, even if I'm just chatting with colleagues or browsing the web. I discipline myself better when I work remotely.

Another thing that makes a difference for me: I suffer from back pain when sitting in a chair for too long. At my place, I can lie down if needed.

On the downside, I suffer from being far from where decisions are taken, and I sometimes miss important information.
I'm reminded of the 'ultimate perspective vortex' from the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a terrifying execution device that showed people exactly how significant they were in the grande scheme of things for an instant. Sounds a bit similar to what you're describing.
The US does, but courts are reluctant to issue them in general. Since google as a fair chance of winning the courts will probably reject the immediate order, and then this drags out in court for a few expensive years before a ruling is issued that could go either way, and either way will drag through the appeals process for many more expensive years.
Anyone got a benchmark for the LLVM'd code?
> because voters are supposed to be educated before they become potential voters

yes, in that they make up their own minds rather than be open to influence by those with most money.

> Or is it just that you shouldn't try to convince them with simplified messages that don't reflect the actual complexity of the universe?

Such messages tend to be of the form 'vote X! Y is crap!'. Or outright lies (qv. certain leaders) That's not even a simplified messages, the first is pure tribalistic emotive, the second, well, it misrepresent reality (aka 'wrong' or 'deceitful' or 'lie').

If the were factually based and told both sides I guess I'd be OK with it.

> Or that you shouldn't do it via Facebook?

No, facebook is just a tool. How that tool is used is what makes it right or wrong.
Its pretty common world wide and has been so for ever.

Even in My grandfathers day (Head teacher in WW2 era) all the poor kids left school at 14.

And only a few smart and lucky kids from better off working class families made it to apprenticeships and the really lucky ones Grammar school.

If I had stayed in Birmingham (UK) my mum told me they would have tried to get me into King Edwards and use Granddads Influence to help.

BTW this is The King Edwards that Tolkien went to and is normally in the top 3 selective schools in the UK
The youngest at 6 has Chess 3 times a week and soccer 3 times a week. The oldest has soccer 3 times a week and is not home until 7 in the evening. They also have homework.

So they have plenty of obligations we are just very strict with when they go to bed which means that in general we don't have an issue with getting them to sleep.
Just a small note: You _can_ write any code on your smartphone and write any kind of code. You can't distribute in _their_ stores.
I have this same issue with one of my junk email addresses. It's pretty short, it's a famous person's last name (I was a fan), but it's not a very common last name. I've received all kinds of stuff, from many people, but one lady in particular. I only recently noticed this and when checking, I found out that this had been going on since 2008. She's used my email for: car service appointments, plane tickets, Walmart orders, forwards from her work email, turbo tax, customer support, change.org, hotel reservations, etc. Pretty much every aspect of her life has ended up in that mailbox.

I'm truly happy for her that I'm not a malicious person and when I figured it out I sent her a message. I hope she manages to stop using my email for stuff.
Not being realistic can also mean that you are creative on false premises, and that the result might fail because of it. By being realistic about the world and the environment surrounding you be it work-, political-, economical- or otherwise you can see actual problems plaguing others, and _maybe_ you can generate something that solves a tiny part of what people struggle with.
I messed up, thanks for catching it. My mistake. Upvoted.
Cool. Now try to picture those fumes and pollution in a tunnel.
I would think that the fact that people disagree on whether the Earth is flat implies that it's not clear if the Earth is flat.
hazarding a guess, i’m assuming people tried using off-platform payments described as donations to sidestep play store payments
I didn't participate in any of the decisions, but I assume that given a 8h workday less than one hour was reserved for lunch and the rest for stuff like going to the bathroom and socializing with your co-workers.

It actually was dropped not that long ago, because clients complained that we "weren't working full time".

Little do they know that those 6h were honest, focused work and the requested 8h won't be, because there are limits to what can be achieved on any given day.
It should be noted that the original idea for pizza is that anything available would be thrown on top. So the Germans may have popularized the tuna and corn, but in effect the original pizzas would have had those thrown on if they had been common in Naples at the time.
> This is one of those things that is completely lost on someone who has never written in a low level language. I automatically assume JavaScript developers to be completely oblivious to this entire class of software development knowledge.

This is a shame because not only are there lots of developers who write JS that have low-level backgrounds there are also a lot who haven't and are still interested. It seems rather snobby to jump in and write off a bunch of people because of the language they use on the assumption that they use the language without being aware of the implications.

On OOP versus more cache friendly approaches and branch prediction this talk from CPPCon 2019 is great:

The interesting result is that although the DoD approach is eventually faster a branch misprediction causes havoc until uncovered.

Or you could think of it as enforcing the law would kill the businesses in the area, because you're asking them for a huge additional cost.
You know that you can easily replace pedophiles with most groups in your post, right? Such as for example "jews". The sad part is that there are actually people who think and thought in the past the same thing, but it is a real danger (as history has shown).

I suggest an alternative: how about judging people by the harm that they have committed to others rather than their race, attraction, opinions, etc?
Violence is always physical, by definition. Sometimes the word is also used for poetic effect though.
Thanks for asking this question. I hadn't actually looked into the legal precedents until now.

This is a decent article on the subject: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=1804a02d-a015...

tl;dr: Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 states, "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

The courts have upheld on multiple occasions (Pennie v. Twitter, Inc.; Fields v. Twitter, Inc.; Murphy v Twitter, Inc.) that Twitter is a provider of an interactive computer service.
Here, in Brazil, when my classes was in the morning, it started 7:00AM. To be at class on time, i was off the bed at 6:00AM, took a breakfast and walked 20 minutes to the school.
It was rough.

They had 2 classes shifts, a 7-11:30AM and another 1-5:30AM, depending of your grade and the school, it could be on the morning or the evening shift.

Edit: I forgot to mention that i live in a city with 80k habitants, a small-medium city.
At the biggest cities here, like São Paulo, the kids usually have to wake even early to take the bus.
To my mind, depression is basically a feeling of being powerless. When lab researchers want to see if a mouse is depressed, they pick it up by the tail. The normal mice struggle, however uselessly, the depressed ones just hang there.

In my experience though, The worst is being powerless and not knowing why. If you can gain understanding of the world, even though your situation might not change right away, it still helps.
Cars come with HEPA filters. Most (non-Asian) pedestrians don't.
Changing the subject seems to be a common tactic when you've run out of good faith arguments.
Aside from the many, many different sizes, I really miss barrel jacks for charging. Like USB-C, there is no wrong way to plug it in, but the connection always feels solid.

I currently have to wiggle my USB-C and find the right angle to achieve "rapid charging," and if it moves too much it just falls out.

Feels like we've gone backwards in physical connection reliability.
Likely they don't have any higher level way to gauge or measure productivity, which is why they fall back to something they can see: how many people are there and for how long. If they could measure how much work is actually getting done, they'd probably forget to even gaze upon the serfs toiling.
They started taking the word when they named the party 150 or 200 years ago, when they formed out of the smoking wreckage of the Tory party.

Up until 1979 they were a mostly traditionalist and small c conservative party. Since then they have been steadily getting more radical and extreme.
My manager _constantly_ will shout out, "does anyone know what X is working on?" It pisses me off to high hell that a manager has to ask his workers what another worker is working on.

I honestly think that EVERYONE should be using a ticket tracking system and just put assignments in a person's queue. I don't see why this is such a big deal or looked down upon. It's so easy to see what everyone is working on, run reports to see how long things took, have a place to keep track of notes which builds a knowledge base, the benefits are limmitless.

Not to mention the fact that if all you have to do is look at the reports to know what is going on, you don't physically need the person there which will allows them to work from anywhere.
As an Italian (not from Genoa though), pesto to me has always been just a pasta sauce, so I was very surprised to see it used on salads and pizzas abroad. But recently (in the last 2-3 years) I’ve seen quite a few Italian pizzerias (not the most traditional, of course) starting to use it as an alternative choice to the tomato sauce, or, sometimes, in place of the olive oil on top. Not sure if it’s a regional variation gone national or an influence from abroad... but if it’s the latter, no Italian would ever admit that :)
One area of growth - Accidental Oracle customers. Oracle makes software acquisitions and bases the new version of the product on Oracle DB. Customers are forced to upgrade and take on an Oracle DB, or get a firm push into the Oracle cloud.
> Will Twitter have to register as a foreign agent in Europe?

I hope that wont matter. This is outright political censorship. Today its the ToS you agree with that they enforce. Tomorrow its the one you disagree with. This is outright political censorship and it is dangerous. They should now be considered an editor and totally liable for the content on their editorialized website.
Hurt feelings are not violence. By that logic, the existence of gay people is violence against religious fundamentalists.
They would still probably send nudes to your mother out of sadistic pleasure. Sometimes people get themselves into a situation where they have no good choices to make.

On that last map, the three nodes with a T in a circle represented TIPs -- basically dialup access points. The TIP had a tiny command line that let you specify which machine you wanted to connect to.

Long distance (which could be within your state) calls were expensive in those days so being close to a TIP was a big deal.
The product is built in a very controlled and secure environment at the core of a company's competency ... code-signing here stamps the product as authoritative and representing the company's efforts.

The website from which you, the customer, download the software often is built and managed under less controlled and more vulnerable circumstances, often with third party involvement. Any bad actor in a long chain of internal caretakers and potentially external hackers can replace the to-be-downloaded artifact HTTPS with malicious junk. Code-signing mitigates this.
I've been in some of these meetings, and strangely the KPIs don't actually contradict themselves. Most of the recommendations we were given were around switching workload from one way of running things to a service which would be a better fit, and because we'd be using it as intended ended up being cheaper than the original implementation.
For example, code signing can protect against an attacker that can swap the application, but not the signing certificate. It can allow retroactive disabling of a certain application by revoking the cert that signed it. In short: HTTPS ensures the integrity of the download at the time the app is downloaded, code signing at the time it runs.
What topic I can choose for Computer Networking research?

Try to write a GUI application in Gtk-rs, or a game engine with the vector clocks array workaround, and you will see that many of us do indeed know Rust when we complain about fighting the compiler.
Because somebody might’ve changed the files on the distribution servers. We’ve been signing executables for decades?
Remote work boosting is becoming a company shaming trend for not allowing workers to escape company rules, routines and procedures. Sure, remote work should be promoted, but in a way to give companies useful resources on how to analyze the neccessity and implement in their workflow.

Instead of writing arguments how remote work is just awesome, it would be more useful to have statistics on how many people are actually capable and accountable to work from home, and what do people really want out of their workspaces or by asking for remote work.
Semi off-topic, but anyway, I have an supportive argument for you: APKs are signed anyway, the signature is embedded in the package, regardless of whether it's in the app store of not, it the signature has changed, you cannot use a new version to replace the previous version without manual reinstallation, it's an effectively safeguard against phishing.

But only the readers of Hacker News can recognize it. I think it's one of the most powerful argument for a walled garden. Not that I support it, but I acknowledge it's still a powerful argument.
Let's be realistic: there are only humans with subjective narrow view of the world out there. And whoever will tell you that you are more/less realistic than some other category of people are judging you by their own narrow opinion of what is the ultimate-true-real-reality™.

I hope this helped you to feel more depressed.
I find it funny that earlier in another thread I read about how the working conditions in warehouses are terrible. Yet here I see suggestions like this for delivery workers.

Can you imagine working a job like this when it's cold outside and you potentially had ice the night before? And to solve this problem you'd basically reinvent the car/truck.
I can see the parent comment, so I think he isn't shadowbanned..?
Many don't anymore. Same story as timing belts. There was period in the late 90s through 2010s where they were standard until the OEMs realized nobody actually changes them and they generally become nasty to the point where they make the air dirtier. Now a lot of cars are omitting them again.
Any tunnel needs lots of ventilation. That air has to go somewhere, and that's above ground. Unless they employ (expensive) measures to filter and clean the air, most of the pollution has to be released. So it's concentrating the pollution to the few spots where the ventilation systems stand instead of having low but mostly equal levels along the entire road. So the health of anyone who lives far away from those systems improves, and anyone who lives close to them faces more pollution with corresponding health consequences.
This is the reason Apple started doing this way back. Sad to see Google follow suit. I guess the bottom line is the bottom line...
> how many of the other rules would you characterize as heavily ideologically driven?

Most of them. It doesn't mean I always disagree with that ideology, but I do recognize them as ideology with political implications.

> Doxing?

The US has the sex offender register. Germany has the right to be forgotten, including sex offenders. Should a twitter bot in the US be allowed to write about sex offenders or is that doxing?

> Promoting terrorism

Terrorism has sadly become a very muddy word. The recent Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria see a lot of disagreement on who is a terrorists. In the past we had US policy of counting any dead male in a conflict zone under the age of 15 as a killed terrorist. To me that is the typical examples of a heavily politically driven definition.

> Child sexual exploitation

Combine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent#/media/File:Age... with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_law#/media/File:P... as sets and what we get is a bunch of intersections and symmetric differences. Yes, pre-puberty child sexual exploitation is universally wrong on the planet. The exact line however is heavily ideologically driven with plenty of people with the view that all prostitution is exploitation and any person under the age of 20 is a child.

> Suicide

Are we including physician-assisted suicide? It is a common point that get brought up when suicide discussions get banned.
Was easier just to call the bank, and leave a message to the manager.

I once found credit card on the floor. I searched the agency on the internet, talked to the account manager, and left my contact info. The manager talked to the owner, and the guy give me a call.

And when you outsmart the compiler, the CPU gets a microcode update and those clever micro-optimizations are thrown out of the window.
A lot of times the steps are actually necessary, because the request isn't followed. That was my problem when I had a coach teaching me about NVC. I wasn't able to communicate effectively with them and I was really stressed out.

I think there are technical people who just care about getting things done and other people who need to have a nice package, because they want their feelings not to be hurt. These are the people who start their requests in chat with "Hi, how are you? Do you have time, I need something ..."

The only way to communicate with these people is NVC.
In Google satellite view, there appears to be a railway about 400 meters west which similarly divides the city. Will that be buried as well?
It might be, but gender is a category that has quite some precedent. I'm willing to bet that you would be at least mildly perturbed by being misgendered.

> Why are taxis given special treatment in cities?

Many handicapped people are dependent on (subsidized) taxi services.
Due to component tolerances, laptops aren't that picky about what voltage they need; capacitors with 16V and 25V max ratings have basically created two ranges, 9-12V and the far more common 18-20V:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12618406

I find the other comment about a programmable output voltage in 50mV increments a little amusing, since 50mV of 5V is 1% and of 20V is 0.25%. To maintain the former level of regulation over changing loads would already require a very expensive and powerful supply with remote sense, while the latter is basically voltage reference territory.

In the UK there is no requirement for adults to possess any kind of ID, let alone carry it around. The mere introduction of optional ID cards caused a huge shitstorm.

There is no requirement for adults to register their whereabouts with the authorities.

And home schooling is explicitly legal, the authorities may or may not check on children who are home schooled.

In many western European countries these things would be radical. Both US and UK share a strong tradition of individual independence.
Generally the true winners in the war are the ones that supply both sides. Numerous companies did this - some I surmise, with the blessing of the US government!
No, they can build modular homes in all sorts of different configurations. A relative had a ~2,000 sq ft house built this way, it was faster and cheaper to build than a traditional hose. It came in 5-6 sections iirc.
