Some reasons to have unions at tech companies:

IP restrictions, unpaid oncall/overtime, crunch, getting a larger cut of the wealth they produce, better parental/health/timeoff benefits, having a representative in disciplinary hearings, requiring clear salary and performance processes, and about a half dozen other ideas.

You can disagree that these are real concerns at tech companies, but they are not ridiculous.
completely agree, the EU has to die.
The thing this will address is certain classes of scams that rely on spoofing a specific area code. The infamous “Windows support” calls, which generally spoof a Redmond, WA area code. The IRS/FBI/Immigration scam calls that spoof Washington DC area codes. These are scams which defraud people of huge sums of money every year, mostly the elderly and immigrants.
Thanks, that link is a much better overview. It seems the calls will still reach the destination network, and the phone then, but with potential for the operator to signal the likelihood of it being an unwanted or spoofed call.

I imagine we will see a tickbox in the operators apps and web settings portals to block or send such calls straight to voicemail (or similar), as they'd be able to be distinguished via the reduced attestation level.

More often than not, navigation charts are now on iPads and there is no paper backup carried anymore.
That's why they'd charge you with misdemeanor theft and criminal trespass. (Unless for some reason old lady Johnson's flowers and veggies were extraordinarily valuable on the open market.) If old lady Johnson is the prosecutor's grandma, you'll also likely see a disorderly conduct charge. And you'd better hope you don't live in a jurisdiction with robust menacing statutes.

Point is, any prosecutor can start stacking these charges and land you in a world of hurt for whatever reasons they please.

I remember vividly a night in college when I got a ticket for underage drinking at a house party. I was wishing I had gone with my friends to a bar downtown. Until they got back later that night and I found out that a bunch of them got cited for underage drinking, disorderly conduct, and also got forgery charges. (Because of the fake id's they used to enter the bar.) In essence, they had done the exact same thing I did, only difference being the cops that busted the house party didn't search everyone and find fake id's on us. All those other charges were totally unnecessary, but they got stacked on anyway because the prosecutor and/or cops wanted to be hard asses.
Using phone numbers doesn't prevent Signal from storing a database of who's talking to who serverside. Not using phone numbers would require them to do so, and, as you can see from other secure messengers that made different tradeoffs (like Wire), that's exactly what ends up happening.

It's pretty funny to try to use PGP as an example of a system that doesn't centralize and leak metadata.
Well at the very least it presents a soft target for hacking into his personal email adddress (it's gmail not govenrment) and secondly, compromising it literally gives you access to dial into cabinet meetings.
Ask HN: Do you think we will see a rise in remote jobs now?
If so do you think we will then see a decrease in the amount of "bullshit" jobs or an increase in freelance culture?

On your last point, that's more or less how HN works for comments. You can't tell if a comment has been upvoted 20 times or -5 times (until it reaches the negative threshold for fading out). But I agree, that would help.
The funny part about democratizing knowledge is that it happens on the supply side too. In a knowledge democracy, knowledge comes not just from the knowledge elite, but from the knowledge poor as well! ;)

No but in all seriousness, the mistake was in relying so heavily on private corporations motivated by profit. An unpopular idea is an unprofitable one. I'm not sure what a non-profit Google would look like... maybe the same... but I feel pretty confident that a non-profit YouTube for example would likely have a totally different recommendation algorithm.
I don’t know about the “politically correct” comment, but the one thing I would ask of google if I could ask for something that they would deliver is to ALWAYS return results where ALL of my search terms are included. It doesn’t have to be verbatim, I’m good with them doing conjugations and maybe synonym matching, but if I add a qualifier to my search query, I didn’t add it because I don’t need it. This is my biggest frustration on the web. Lots of different search engines think it is better to return lots of unrelated garbage rather than returning no hits. No hits has actual meaning to me about my search, changing my search to return stuff I don’t want is just noise.

They at provided an API and web interface, one that you could use to get forecasts on any device, the data can be presented in any format. They're closing the website and the API, so you only will get the hyperlocal forecast from an Apple device, and only by Apple's UI choices. Closing off services behind a walled garden and charging an entrance fee is Apple's business model.

Weird how no one else around him was quarantined. If he was contagious, then why didn't they quarantine everyone he was in contact with as well?

Read my edit. Email addresses can be received through public records requests routinely. It's a public record!
It's like sites are modifying their templates, and it refreshes the published date, and google goes off that page change date and not the date on the page. It's terrible and googles search by date is now nearly useless. Sometimes it helps filter out old results, but it is impossible to keep new results from bleeding into the past.
I don't think so, hence the accusation of "Google-esq behavior" and such.

They seem to be a concerned parent who's mixed up.

Best Life Insurance Providers of 2020
I think it’s mostly the average quality of the information available has regressed.

I’m fairly certain they’re doing the best they can with what’s available to them, but right now they probably get more accurate results by focusing on what is popular than by blindly accepting the contents of the websites.
Smart employers don't offer sick leave out of the goodness of their heart: if the sick employee stays home, they don't infect others, so overall productivity is higher. And of course this applies even more with the pandemic.
It was never valid for international flights. It is, however, valid as ID for domestic flights (and I have used it as such).
It works, the quality is decent, and it doesn't max out 4-8 cores for a simple video call.

The others don't work, are Microsoft UI dumpster fires (Skype), or consume vast amounts of CPU (anything WebRTC for some reason).
What a bizarre piece.

We have low-quality content generation not because of Google but because of the low cost of publishing (which the author even mentions). It's exactly why we have email spam: it costs nothing to send. To repurpose a Chris Rock bit, "if sending an email cost $5,000 you'd have no more spam email".

What's the alternative being touted here? No Google? Making things harder to find? Seriously?

I'd say a far bigger issue is people sharing content from and to people who think the same, creating these myopic echo chambers of self-reinforcing beliefs.

Google may do a questionable job at filtering out provably false content but people are way worse at that.

Within such a system it's too easy to foster fear, anger and hate and to propagate provably false information. Anti-vaxxers are just one such group that seem to thrive in this informationless world.
Regarding robocalls from political campaigns: I removed my phone number from my voter registration, because honestly I don't want any calls or texts from campaigns. I left my email address in case they want to spam that. I recommend doing the same (although at least with Gmail I find that several of the political emails end up in the spam folder...)

What about your appreciation of the images was impaired by this knowledge? Was their capture of unaltered nature more affected by the manipulation of light to artistic effect, or the smartphone with which the monkey was playing?
If I'm reading it right, their business model is "eBay/Amazon for purchasing secured loans", is that right?

So you don’t know about their podcast directory API that’s been open and free for over a decade?

Comparing a light switch to the switches and dials found in an aircraft is a it like comparing a light switch to a keyboard key.

Yeah they’re both switches, but size is incredibly important, and small mechanical devices are finicky and don’t produce nice clean digital output (that’s a lie that electronic engineers tell software engineers to keep things simple).

So yeah I’m sure you’ve never seen a light switch fail, but I bet you’ve seen a keyboard fail (especially if you’ve spent any time around a recent MacBook).

But I do agree with your point on using a touchscreen in turbulence. A counter point is that there are probably hundreds of controls or settings on a plane that you never touch during turbulence, possibly that you never touch in flight (like telling the flight computer how much cargo you’re carrying). Stuff like that is ideal for a touchscreen.

Not exactly related to Agent57, but to the post itself. Perusing a bunch of those games in the playlist gave me a deep respect for Atari game makers' creativity. Many things that were "games" then may not be considered a game today (eg, a gopher digging dirt to get carrots from a farmer). Also I recognized many similarities between the game mechanics and NES games for example atari road running is like excitebike, pitfall like a boy and his blob, etc.
I have a garden and consider the same issues as you, but where I live in Australia, the summers are becoming hot enough that many things are difficult to grow. The changing climate could well hurt the amateur as much as the full-time professionals who have time/means to adapt.

In the space of 2-3 years, I went from being able to grow countless giant zucchini effortlessly, to now struggling to get almost anything: pollen/stamen are too dry. Tomatoes don't set if over a certain temperature which is now often the case. Even if you cover everything with shadecloth, a heatwave of 40+C can fry plants. Corn this year all failed. I've had one modest zucchini. Most of my 40ish tomato plants went crispy. Five fruit trees failed to develop any fruit. Two that did developed mold patches quickly all the way up the tree. Only a couple of trees did well.
It's crazy to me that people seem dumbfounded that young people love to piss off and troll (online and offline). Do they not remember being young, or were they raised around angels?

I think that famous National Geographic photo of the Afghanastani girl was compelling mainly because of the choice of film. (Not sure which one, but most films preferred greens and blues)
> Like, there's no use in planting cucumbers when they are $0.50 at the grocery. But fresh herbs are like $3 a bunch and berries can be $3-5 a lb,

Correct, but think also that there are other factors. Your herb is $3 in value, but how many rosmary can you eat?. Maybe less than 100 grams could fill your needs for the entire year.

Now think that you use the same space for a cucumber. Now you can make it climb and take advantage of vertical space. Cucumbers are $0.5 a piece, but you can pick them when they have like 200g and eat it as many as you want without dying poisoned. You could harvest some Kg from this plant to eat it fresh two days a week, or make your own pickles and store it for the winter.

Therefore if your goal is to produce food and there is space only for one, cucumber is a better investment than rosmary or basil because you would buy much more of it in any case. Herbs are a luxury, they play in a different league than potato or onions. Similar case with berries. A single tomato can weight more than the entire raspberry harvest that you could obtain in the same space.
Thanks. Next summer (southern hemisphere) I'm putting beans after a cover crop of mustard/lupin/oat over winter, and I'm also checking with the local seed store for rhizobium innoculant designed for beans (after this lockdown).

Horseradish grows like a weed here, rhubarb also does great, you are spot on with that advice.
Thank you all for the kind words and encouragements

ZZ looks genuinely interesting! I like that it compiles to C; this makes life much easier for embedded, say you're working with the ESP32 with it's obscure CPU there's no chance you'd use anything but the supplied C compiler. Could be an interesting option for systems/embedded programming.

Google's mission statement is to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."[1]

According to a Wikipedia citation (The Guardian) this was the original mission statement.[2]

Bad article. Confuses technology to take pictures with technology to share pictures with strangers online.

If anything, Kodachrome was the phone camera of its time, but even that is comparing a horse-drawn carriage to a Mack truck.
Agreed. It's not the feed that broke the internet – it's the forced filter.

The notion that forced filtration, reprioritization, and chronological rearrangement of content is implicit the idea of information feeds (search, social media, etc) shows how deep the brokenness is baked in.

Sometimes the filter is a feature, but sometimes it's not. In the name of convenience, it feels like we've given up our right to choose to see everything and decide for ourselves how to filter.
I don't think anyone's raising any problems about Apple buying a small company instead of developing comparable functionality in-house.

People are raising concerns over Apple buying a small company and shutting down its offerings to any platform that isn't Apple's.

None. You are already in a weak non-repudiation environment with cell phones. This solution will reduce some spoofing, but I doubt it will eliminate it.

It will be interesting to see who will be running the CA for these connections.
Plant them and find out - it's an interesting learning exercise! You'll get slugs and aphids whatever - plant lots of pollinator friendly native flowering plants to attract hoverflies and parasitic wasps - they'll help you out.

I agree. We should also remove the img tag and the entirety of CSS. They can be used to make the user experience worse (according to me and no one else), so they shouldn't exist.
So Apple should be forced to develop for a competitors platform?
How is PGP (now gpg) centralized? Out of band, I can exchange keys and verify fingerprints with whomever I want to communicate with, then send then a pgp/gpg encrypted email directly (or use some other means of sending the encrypted message). No centralization required.

As for Signal, there's no requirement for them to keep any kind of directory, with or without phone numbers. Just let people discover each other in some way not under Signal's control.

Whether other services have made the same mistake as Signal is irrelevant. It's still a mistake.
Thanks for posting. In all this C19 mess SpaceX is a welcome relief to remember that humans are back reaching for the stars once again.
What kind of read would not constitute "using" a value? And per your previous post an object that was not initialised is indeterminate, not just unspecified. So yes, reading uninitialized memory is always UB.
I think I am much more likely to find the truth about a question I have with Google than asking on a BBS forum or browsing through a curated list of links on Yahoo.

That's like saying Gutenberg ruined books because now I can find books full of BS.
That will never happen, Germany will never allow it. Look at Spain, Italy, etc. Germany controls the currency, so they call the shots.

Good to know; I admit I haven't looked at the technical side of this. Mostly I was just providing my "legit" use case for wanting to spoof numbers since I think a lot of times most people don't realize they exist.

For consumer cameras it definitely has happened. But for professional DSLRs you’re serving are market that absolutely puts function over form, and will happy pay a big premium for a devices that makes them more productive.

Sysco and the like. It's probably a distribution rather than a supply issue.
If transmission via packaging were happening, what evidence would you expect us to have at this point, and why?

(Absence of evidence can be evidence of absence, but only in proportion to how easy the evidence would be to find if it existed, and how hard we've looked.)
The tech has changed,not humans. Back in the day, Romans were happily watching gladiators slaughtering each other and all they cared was 'bread and entertainment'. Obviously not everyone, some tried to invent things,do commerce,medicine and etc. Those were the curious ones. It was a small percentage then and it is a small percentage now. The majority are much simpler people. The internet is bursting at its seams with amounts of knowledge available one click away from potential users( yes,you may need to look deeper to find it) but majority don't need it,they want entertainment and they get it.
I think Podcasts are mainly popular because you can consume them in the car on the way to work.

When the virus is killing in a matter of several days, how is this useful? Are we only interested in tests that will get people “back to work“, not preventing deaths?

Honestly asking because I don’t understand the severe lack of proactive testing in the US.
For scientific/technical domain stuff you could:

1) look for references to source materials

2) check references quality - is reference real? does the quoted text match the text from the reference? is it an academic paper published in a journal?

3) authorship quality - what is the academic "impact factor" score for the author?

4) confirmed viewer reviews - subjective review by confirmed users

5) accessibility score - automated user interface usability analysis
Living in France since 2012, I get zero French spam calls on my mobile. I'm getting some immediate-disconnect calls from Algerian numbers though (no idea what those are). I used to get silent calls on a landline though, back when I had one (even if I never gave the number to anyone). One fine day I just disconnected it as it was annoying.

I used to get occasional spam calls on my rarely-used old Polish number, but since beginning this year they somehow stopped (late effect of GDPR perhaps?)
Not twiki, looks like MediaWiki to me. Wonder what attracts people to MediaWiki anyway. Horrible and insecure code all over, easy to break into. Only maintainable with massive manual administration costs. And hundreds of Wikipedia editors.

On the opposite I once maintained phpwiki which never had any security problems, and all my known instances still work fine after decades. No much need for massive manual interventions. lots of admin plugins. XSS attacks impossible. I ran backup jobs for the DB (berkeley db was 30 faster than MySQL) and as HTML archive. So even if you have to put it down for php maintainance, you can trivially replace it with a readonly dump without any action buttons and without any PHP.
