In the US, there is an effective limit of 6 months on the detention/incarceration of people whose nationality cannot be determined (or who are stateless). They are protected by two Supreme Court rulings: Zadvydas v. Davis (2001)[1] and Clark v. Martinez (2005)[2].

Although, right now, the conservative majority Supreme Court is in the process of slowing rolling back these protections, taking us to a darker period. With Jennings v. Rodriguez[3], asylum seekers can effectively be imprisoned indefinitely without even an opportunity for a bond hearing (not actual release, but even the opportunity to seek one) while their asylum (or other immigration) case is pending.

Conservatives Supreme Court justices have in the past, during oral hearings, spoken from the bench, about their contempt for Zadvydas v. Davis. It’s uncertain how long these basic human rights protections will survive.

I really don't understand why a company the size of Slack invests all their development effort into such a subpar platform as Electron, when a native solution is clearly doable with very limited resources.

Several things I can think of: "quantity is not quality"; JS developers far outnumber everyone; making web apps look exactly the way they want is easy, and they are not interested in platform-native functionality, preferring a "consistent" UI across platforms instead; "premature optimisation" dogma that means no one cares about efficiency anymore.

Microsoft Teams and (later versions of --- they actually moved away from perfectly decent native Win32) Skype also use Electron, and that's Microsoft. That says the size of the company and its resources matters little in things like this.

There’s no such thing as general tech priorities, it’s just an amalgam of a bunch of individual priorities. In most of the cases I’ve seen those priorities are very reasonable. If you start a tech company and prioritize fiddling with internal messaging software over building your product, you’re going to fail. Prioritizing tech doesn’t mean yak shaving every random task, it means outsourcing as many non-essential tasks as you possibly can so that you have as much time and attention as possible for the one specific technical task that matters: building your product.
I would absolutely read the grand prize winner. "he’d accidentally destroyed the phenomenon known as time, thirteen inches ago."

It would be a very, very hard book to write, and most likely pretty brain-frying to read, but I'd read the crap out of that book. One of the most experimental notions I've ever heard.

It could end with 'frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn' and 'tomorrow is another day'!

Actually, that’s not clear either (even if it was GP’s intent), it’s simply your bias coloring your perspective. Other folks could easily define interface as the Slack apps, especially in the context of this thread.

Many folks I’ve talked to don’t realize there are alternative ways to connect to Slack still once the XMPP / IRC endpoints died. They think the only way is using the Slack developed apps. Thankfully, that’s becoming more and more not true each day.

Experimental rocket/spacecraft (that's a fairly rapid prototype as far as rockets are concerned), made out of non-traditional material for rockets, fails one way yielding tons of data to do it better on the next version.

That's some modicum of success no matter how you slice it. Go plug 'rocket launch fail' or 'rocket explosion' or some such into YouTube and watch various rockets failing spectacularly on the launchpad both during development and carrying actual payloads and compare it to this failure at this stage of development.

I mean, look at stuff like Apollo 1. An electrical fire killed all of the crew during a test less roughly a month before launch. Starship is a very early prototype that probably yielded more actionable data than the Apollo 1 accident did.

I'm pretty sure it was discussed as the "email killer" even here on HN, where there is a tech-savvy audience. You know, in one of those recurring waves of comments to the effect of "email is broken" (and its cousin, "it's time to move past textual representations of code"). Thankfully after all this time email is still used by devs and text remains the primary representation of code -- both for good reasons!

The SPLC determined that the most famous of them were “promoting hate”, so PayPal pulled service, and it’s always the roulette on what is going to be pulled next. Each year the International Conference on Men’s Issues had to change venues at least once, and one year the venue pulled out less than a month before the conference.

Don’t say it doesn’t exist. And saying “All men are pigs” is apparently not a reason to pull support from the female equivalent. As much as “Women should be sentenced to smaller prison times than men” is apparently not a hindrance to staying head of the judges of UK’s Supreme Court.

So yeah, we need to avoid using cloud services.

Cult not withstanding, Elon has expressed on a few occasions how he's expected some rockets to blow up, and a few have. I've had the idea the past few years that he's felt he hasn't been pushing the envelope hard enough. Progress on Starship has been at an astonishing rate by anyone's measure.

I find it fascinating that we get to observe this all playing out in real time. You might agree.

Both publisher/devs and customers have unreasonable expectations about games and google with stadia. We all remember molyneux and are experiencing star citizen.

I think climate change and the current climate emergency will cause more unimaginable suffering, as bad as imaginable, if you read the article you’d might realise the fires are a result of severe drought predicted by climate scientists and caused by climate change.

Therefore I feel some will find this article disturbing because humans and many living beings have suffered horrible deaths in what I’d call unnatural ways (fire isn’t new to these animals, the intensity of the fires is). It’s also a glimpse of more very tragic times ahead.

I put a link to the article and a warning, what do you find so concerning about it ? Maybe people don’t read hacker news to feel like shit? Maybe some people are reading who have been directly affected too. So I gave people the option to skip that article and the details if they weren’t in the mood for it right now Who cares? I just wanted to give people the choice.

I agree with your point about good and bad emotions. I mean, I read the article in the first place.

If you have trouble seeing why some would find a forest full of crying animals who has been partially burned to death sad or troubling with more to come, maybe you’re someone who has trouble feeling empathy? Which is ok, but you would have trouble understanding people that might.

By the way, I am from Earth, just like you. I don’t see how that question was relevant.

I work on a remote small team, but we work on a highly complex, large code base.

We rarely pick up a phone, and we do not use email. Everything is 100% Slack.

This works well for us. You can bring in only the people you need, you can "star" messages and channels that are important, and none of us have any time to spam/meme the channels, so it's 100% business. We integrate the JIRA slackbot to keep abreast of what is going on in JIRA.

It all "just works" for us.

I don’t think it’s misreported. As the article states, the prosecutor did stay the charges so that he could be deported. Right now he’s being held for non-cooperation by the CBSA for refusing to identify himself during the deportation hearing. His current documents are forgeries.

It is a rather interesting case, but I suspect like the other case of Mr. Walker, the CBSA will collect enough information to identify him and deport him to Cameroon. That seems to be the likely country of origin and a good starting point for further investigation.

Yes. Now, no snark, just advice.

Your comment started off about you and was dismissive of Slack. Saying "How so?", in general, is not handled by people as a genuine and sincere question, it's usually laden with an "I don't believe you" vibe, especially with the dismissive nature of the lead-in.

If you had asked instead:

> "I've haven't really used slack, didn't really see the use case. Why can't you stop using it?"

You would have received a better response.
> The fix included patching the init function of docker-tar to call arbitrary functions from the problematic Go packages. This forced docker-tar to load the libnss libraries before chrooting to the container, and thus from the host filesystem.

This seems like a band aid, not a proper fix. docker-tar is still run, chrooted into the untrusted container root directory, but in the host's namespace (i.e., ubcontained). As we all know, chroot on Linux is not a security barrier!

I think it would be better to run one docker-tar entirely inside the container, writing to a socket; with another docker-tar on the host reading from the other end of the socket.

Taking a step back though I have to ask why 'docker cp' has to execute anything at all. I would not expect that copying files would need to do anything other than open files within the container and read them. I suppose this would only be possible if the open syscall had a way to prevent symlinks being followed (O_NOFOLLOW is not sufficient because it only applies to the final file in the path, not any parent directories).
There wouldn't be much to 'leak'. The nuclear material in weapons is relatively safe to handle as long as you don't ingest it. It's the post-explosion fission products that are nasty.

Also with nuclear weapons, as much engineering has gone into safety as into weapon design itself. It's astronomically improbable for a modern nuclear weapon to detonate prior to arming even if the explosive lens is set off.

The reentry vehicle is designed to come down at circa mach 14 so a little bit of heat and jostling isn't going to bother it.

Where is your fishing gear?
To give the conservative perspective: Part of the problem is that the Liberal abuse of asylum provisions has created human trafficking chains of human misery to both America and Europe, with rape/torture/death being the norm in these human movements. Beyond that, the mass migration leads to tremendous political and economic issues in the target countries, disproportionately affecting the poorest. The classic liberal position has been to resist these flows for that reason, while conservatives have been happy to overlook the human exploitation factors in order reap the benefits of cheap labor for the elite.

I find it a shame to talk about something you're actively using in your company, which is apparently mature enough to be used in production environments and not show a single snippet of code as an example.

Even on the iOS side, iPhones have been getting thicker and heavier for every generation since the iPhone 6 (2014)

On the Mac, the issue has more been they prioritized design over functionality. On the iOS side, the only functionality we lost to the design obsession was a headphone jack, maybe some battery life, whereas on the Mac we lost far more (such as being able to type). If an iPhone redesign made the keyboard break, the device would be recalled and it would be fixed in weeks. On the Mac they let it go for years.

The 2017 roundtable change in attitude seems to have been Apple now allowing the Mac to "be a truck" as Jobs expressed it. Put functionality first, and let the design adapt to that.

How to Fight Priority Paralysis with Event Storming and DDD
It's genuinely hard to make a good design for something, but if you put the time and effort required, that's the difference between Atom and VS Code.

The only way I know how to make a good design, is to have a good Product Owner. Prototyping helps a little bit, User testing absolutely not. You can have five different PO working on the same epic and still get a bad design, but it only takes one to find the perfect solution.

That input box story is not different. They could have made the WYSIWYG feature compatible with the "old" input method by changing the visual without altering the character flow (eg: The <star>brown<star> fox). Apparently, no one thought of that...
