The NYT in the paragraph you quoted vaguely paints the picture that investment is being cut significantly in favor of massive dividend payments. However, if the reality is that it is merely plateauing as you and the parent comment show, then doesn't that show their wording was misleading?

Yes, FedEx didn't follow up with the massive new boosts they promised (besides the pension fund). However, the NYT should have included figures and stated it how you are in your comment - that growth factor is what has gone down, not the actual level of investment.

I am not disputing what you say about FedEx, I just want NYT to be more careful and precise in its reporting.

Literally shot someone in the back while they stole a TV. 911 even told him not to do anything, don't shoot anyone, just stay inside, cops were on the way. Shot the guys anyway, and got off... because Texas. The wiki article doesn't say it, but IIRC they dropped the TV due to the shooting and it was broken.

What does that have to do with people trespassing? Is the argument that "The owners make themselves generationally rich," therefore they are liable for people's trespassing?

What about National Forests? Would you consider that true public property?

> National Forest is a classification of protected and managed federal lands in the United States. National Forests are largely forest and woodland areas owned collectively by the American people through the federal government, and managed by the United States Forest Service, a division of the United States Department of Agriculture.

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

Also, consider Slab City:

> Slab City, also called The Slabs, is a largely snowbird community in the Sonoran Desert located in Imperial County, California, 100 miles (161 km) northeast of San Diego and 169 miles (272 km) southeast of Los Angeles within the California Badlands, and used by recreational vehicle owners and squatters from across North America.

> The site is both decommissioned and uncontrolled, and there is no charge for parking. The site has no official electricity, running water, sewers, toilets or trash pickup service.[3] Many residents use generators or solar panels to generate electricity. The closest body of civilization with proper law enforcement is approximately four miles southwest of Slab City in Niland where the residents often go to do basic shopping. As a result, the site is described by its inhabitants and news outlets like Vice News as a miniature de facto enclave of anarchy.

It might be considered a kind of Temporary Autonomous Zone

The Gamification of Employee Selection Tools (2017) [pdf]
They stole cameras, lighting, greenhouse shelving, packing house tables. I employ a lot of girls part time and I am a sole operator of a female run business. They just refused to come back and work. And I don’t blame them.

I know they are dealing drugs. Sonoma county has legal pot ..so it’s not pot. Why would a homeless camping site have BMWs and Hummers and SUVs and other cars come by..they even had a system..bicycles near where they parked to get to the creek area hidden by trees. So people don’t have to walk to get to the little apartment like units they built.

I was being punished for calling on the cops because they’d defecate, fornicate and leave poop and condoms and tampons and bottles filled with pee..there is now a sign that says ‘restroom’ on a tree by the creek. And law enforcement won’t do anything. This is California. I don’t think I can patrol with a firearm.

Ask HN: Anyone Earning a Living Publishing DIY Electronics Tutorials?

I can see where you are going with this, but I disagree with it (mostly).

Google owns the eyeballs on the places of the internet that have sold that space to google.

If I have a website and want to monetize it with ads, I'm giving that section of my page to Google. Who now rents the "tower" in my sidebar, and owns the eyeballs of my visitors. The advertisers don't get to own my data. I'm just exposing my audience to their products. If my audience decides that they want the advertised widget, they are then willingly giving their data to the advertiser when they purchase/sign up/whatever.

The only point I agree with you on (if this is what you meant) is how Google ranks search results based on the speed of the content, and who's content loads fastest for Google? AMP... owned by Google.
I believe that IQ tests (at least the majority of those that I took or seen) are mostly built as abstract problem-solving tasks, similar to those needed to be productive in modern society. Not sure how one would even measure the "intelligent behavior" that you mention.

In addition, to me, it sounds that you are arguing that a test on which you do worse when tired, sleepy, hungry etc. is not an appropriate test because it fluctuates depending on your state of mind. I don't get that.
That's an interesting result, but you'll have to connect more dots for me. I don't see how the existence of a categorical theory of Actors relates to what we're discussing.
Do you need several-standard-deviation better than average fine motor control to mess with this stuff?

Simply reporting the fraud via chargeback is easier and puts the onus on Amazon.
It’s not a matter of paying for stuff, at least not in Europe. I have 3 different streaming subscriptions (still cheaper than 8 channels of flow tv with its 50% commercials), and I absolutely hate watching a tv show, only to find out the European version of the streaming service doesn’t have the last 4 seasons yet, despite the show being over and the finale having “aired” in the US.

In cases like that I turn to torrents and download whatever seasons I’m missing, watch them and delete them again. I still keep my streaming subscriptions though.

It has gotten better, and the problem is mostly confined to cross studio/service shows, or services not available in Europe.

HBO Nordic hasn’t even announced an air date for Mr. Robot season 4 yet, which I guess is great as I can only dodge spoilers for so long, so when it eventually hits I’ll know the ending.

Even if the show was available on a European streaming service, I’d probably stream it anyway. There’s a limit to how many streaming services I care to have, and torrenting is so much easier than trying to navigate the dark patterns most streaming services put around their unsubscribe pages.

I’m also too lazy to subscribe/unsubscribe multiple times per year to multiple services.

Perhaps a “pay per view” model that bills you X per show watched, up to a maximum equal to the monthly subscription fee. That way I could have multiple subscriptions and only pay subscription fees to the services I actually use, and once I stopped watching them I’d automatically be unsubscribed.

Of course that will never happen while there are a million services.

This is a fascinating read... I hope it does make the news.
Then FedEx has their PR team work with journalists at other major news sources to get their side out, which the journalists will be happy to do since it's genuinely newsworthy. (Which companies do every day, it's what PR teams are for.) Same thing in the end.

I will say it one more time: the idea that FedEx, a $40B company, is somehow, in any way, disadvantaged in being able to respond, simply defies credulity.
So now you’re saying that the government should tell every company that they must inter operate with third parties? Would you like that every piece of software you write to have features forced on it for interoperability before you can release it?

Should every website and every web service also have a publicly accessible API? Do you want a government committee to decide when your service or software is interoperable enough before you can release it?
Bit of a lofty title...

The comments here offered more value.
It makes the point that they didn't even spend what they'd initially projected, let alone increase it like they said they would. They did not follow through with their lobbying promises.

The fact that they instead increased stock buybacks etc. demonstrates a point of detractors of the tax law - that it's proceeds would most likely go back into already-wealthy pockets, not capital investment. It's not unreasonable to point it out here.
No, them fighting on the side of what's good for the industry is what makes them the good guys in this case, not the fact that they're fighting Oracle. If the positions were switched, I would be biting my tongue and rooting for Oracle.

yEd isn't exactly modern-looking though. I've recently used it on Ubuntu 16.04 but my colleague on Ubuntu 18.04 couldn't because the menu or window handles were cut off. As IntelliJ shows, using Java/Swing is no excuse for an app to look like a Windows 3.1 app migrated over to Windows95. But then UML is from a time and mindset when win32-like and Java-like OOP and Hungary notation were sold to people and I guess a certain amount of retro design must feel authentic to UML.
"Export-grade encryption" was always a bad idea. You can block the export of stronger encryption schemes but nothing prevents them from being developed outside the country. The result is that all new and innovative crypto work gets done elsewhere, leaving your own country playing catch-up.

Consumers of the project can use either MIT or Apache-2.0, which means the project is compatible with GPLv2 code.

Contributors contribute their code granting permission to use under both licenses, which means they're granting the patent grant in Apache-2.0.

So, dual-licensing MIT/Apache-2.0 gives you a permissive license with a patent grant and GPLv2-compatibility.

That said, if you want a permissive license with a patent grant and GPLv2-compatibility, a simpler choice is the "BSD+Patent" https://opensource.org/licenses/BSDplusPatent license, which is just 2-clause BSD plus the Apache-2.0 patent grant.
Ahamd from NetFreedom Pioneers, developers of Toosheh, here:

Toosheh is a satellite filecasting service. We transcode any digital data into a .TS/MPEG4 format and broadcast it over our satellite channel on YahSat over Iran and the Middle East.

Viewers of the Toosheh channel can record the broadcasting video and use Toosheh extractor on their android phone or PC to extract the transmitted content out of the recorded video. It's free, secure, untraceable, and most importantly the ONLY way to send digital files in case of total Internet Shutdown.

Toosheh is sending over 5Gigabytes of data over 2 hours.

Toosheh extractor software could also be used to browse a package of blocked websites that are blocked in Iran i.e. BBC, Radio Farda, etc..

Using Toosheh application people can locally share the content with others over WiFi.

It happens all the time, but it's generally not "visible" to the typical HN developer.

You aren't really addressing the claims in the times story though. They didn't say FedEx had zero capital investment. They said there wasn't the promised increase.

From the article:

> ...As for capital investments, the company spent less in the 2018 fiscal year than it had projected in December 2017, before the tax law passed. It spent even less in 2019.

So maybe you can argue that the times numbers are bad with some numbers of your own? Maybe you can argue with some numbers that this hub expansion is just getting started and over the next few years will represent a nice increase in capital spending? As it is, you aren't really arguing anything.

I like the way GitLab solves this. You mark your secrets ("CI/CD env vars") as protected, then only protected branches and tags can use them. When someone has right to merge or push to a protected branch, thay of course gain access to these vars, but if you don't allow anyone to do this, you are pretty safe.

I think because you easily provided the proof they were wrong, as evidenced by an article published by the media about how it's not being addressed publicly to the public's satisfaction.

It's too common to treat the media as a homogeneous entity rather than a fractured and variable group.
Exactly this - one wonders why anyone would rationally become a journalist. The pay is crap, the verbal attacks are constant ("fake news", etc), the competition is immense (publish NOW because it's already on Twitter, yet it needs to be 100% factually accurate, so don't forget to triple-check your sources), and oh by the way, if you report on anything of societal value (rooting out corruption, printing stories about drug cartels), you may get yourself killed.

Or I could sit quietly, write some code to enable more ad views on tech platform du jour, get paid bank, and complain about journalism on Hacker News with my free time between deploys. Guess which one I would choose?
For me it's all about how "noisy" the noise is. The less discernible signal the better, because anomalies are what my mind latches on to. I can work without a problem in a big open coffee shop with constant, low-level hum of conversation, but if I'm in a room with exactly one other person who's clacking a keyboard, or talking on the phone, or occasionally munches on some chips, I can't so much as hear myself think.
Facebook’s fake numbers problem – Lex in depth
I'm hindsight, it's obvious that an interview like that should have been aired. But it makes total sense not to air something so inflammatory back then with corroborating evidence. It would have sounded pretty outlandish. A girl says she was made a sex slave by a guy named Epstein that didn't really have a public profile and she was forced to sleep with the prince of Wales.

As a journalist, you need impeccible sources and evidence to back your story up before you publish something like that.

> Most Americans are going to learn a very different way of life.

Unlikely. America has enough wealth that aside from coastal areas, life won't change that much unless agriculture collapses entirely.

> Electric vehicles are not going to fix much when our electricity is still mostly made by fossil fuels.

Coal is rapidly declining in use in the US for electrical generation. Natural gas will eventually be replaced by overbuilt renewables and battery storage (and EVs are a component of that). Electrifying transportation would be a huge step forward for moving off of fossil fuels compared to natural gas generation currently in play [1].

All of the above is possible without density or everyone moving to urban areas. American politics are built around equality of votes between dense cities, the suburbs, and rural areas. That is not changing in the foreseeable future. You're going to have to rely on market forces to drive out the remaining fossil fuels used.

Everyone can buy an EV or renewable power though to send market signals to ramp production capacity of both. Same with insulating your home and ensuring you're using as little energy as possible to condition your home spaces. And batteries. We need as many batteries as we can make.

> Is that because you think that the federal government doesn't properly utilize the tax dollars that it receives?

Not the OP but this is absolutely how I feel. I think I would only be happy to pay taxes if every single dollar I spent was accounted for with a way to track progress on what is being funded. Missing milestones or goals would result in me paying no more taxes on that project until whatever management in place was restructured.
> Our brains let us iterate orders of magnitude faster than biological evolution can.

I think you need to provide citation for this because I do not accept this assertion at face value as there are 10x the number of single cellular organisms on your body than you have human cells. Biological evolution is proceeding on your own body faster than you can write software. And it's all happening in parallel and concurrently. In fact, every cell, even neurons, are providing feedback into the system of "biology" that includes the entire planet.

To assume that our own cognition is somehow superior to life itself feels full of hubris.
I had the same concern and that's part of why I got into pocket watches instead of wrist watches! That said, my experience is that people who repair watches are no more superhuman than you or I and that it's mostly experience.

>my "repair" skills would be limited to swapping out the whole thing or using some kind of robotic apparatus to gear down my movements.

Mine too! I never talked to anyone who did repair as a job, but my impression is that most repair is swapping out broken parts for working ones from other cannibalized movements. In theory you could fab new parts, of course, but that would be beyond my skills and experience. Think of it like how people build computers: they replace components and make sure it all works together.
