I would imagine if a director breaks the law, only then he could be personally liable. And in that case I would imagine Germany does have higher standards than US.
What is more impressive is that the kid actually pulled over!

From the NYT article:
“He was all set to make the trip,” Trooper Morgan said at the news conference. “It amazed me that when he heard my siren that he did pull over and stop.”
The picketers and strikers are actually helping the scabs, when the strike succeeds the scabs are free to apply for work at a higher wage. The absence of unions and their successful strike is literally the reason the wage gap is so large. Stopping access of scabs is even more critical in a low skill job such as picking items.
The same way he got it started...?
Holy fuck, you just sold me on using PixiJS if I should ever need to do something with canvases.
Something like that happened to me. I was a grad student until the project I was working on ran out of funding. Their website said if you left the program you could pay for health insurance out of pocket under the same plan you had while a student.

What they left out was that the company could reject you as a customer if you had a pre-existing condition. (This was before the ACA took effect.) They can legally do this because COBRA does not apply to grad students.

Fortunately, Oregon at the time had a state-subsidized health insurance plan called OMIP for people that were rejected by private health plans. The premiums weren't cheap, but they weren't worse than equivalent plans. Eventually OMIP was superceded by the ACA marketplace.

> I believe the use of open source tools to accomplish their tasks is interesting. Using "living off the land" open source tools also hinders researchers when trying to attribute an attack to a certain country.

That is one conclusion. But, given that there seems to be a significant amount of code that's custom (the filesystem module), I'm not sure what that would accomplish. If that too was opensource and there was a tiny amount of glue code, then it would make some sense. Leave the most suspicious hooks(like all input device monitoring) to well known tools.

Based on the report, it is more likely that whoever group created it didn't have much knowledge. Using the Shutdown Alarm and pissing all over the system just to accomplish such a tiny task is difficult to justify, and that's what drew undue attention.

By that logic, then technical folks, particularly devops people, are in a very strong role to make change. AWS is a very significant portion of Amazon's profits, and it will crumble to the ground if they mass strike just as much as Amazon's retail sector will crumble if the FC workers mass strike.

You think AWS can maintain 3+ 9s with 50%+ of their operations people striking? Look at what simply shifting to remote work has done to Github uptime over the past month: 99.6% after months of 3+ 9s. Their uptime would likely stop dropping quickly, particularly if strikes extended into weeks.

The proportion of traffic offenses that result in police stops is not consistent across all types, grades, and natures of offenses. I would guess that five year olds driving are vastly more likely to be stopped than the average (median or mean) traffic offender.
There’s an interesting nuance to that though: I have built a lot of one-off tools for my clients that get the very occasional update, but basically continue to hum along maintenance-free. A month or two ago I finally was given a chance to shut down an Ubuntu 10.04 server because the client decided they no longer needed the tool that was running on it; the software outlived its usefulness. Could they have invested money into improving it? Maybe. Would it have been a good investment? Really hard to say.

There’s a big labour dispute going on in my city right now. 700-odd refinery workers are locked out (the employees announced a strike, the refinery locked them out to prevent unpredictable disruption), and the refinery is running on a skeleton crew of replacement workers. Because of blockades put up by the picketers, the refinery has chartered a fleet of helicopters for emergency transport. Additionally, the replacement workers are living in a camp on-site. Overall, the refinery was running at about 80% capacity, and even when factoring in the additional overhead from the camp and helicopters, their profit margins apparently went up due to the reduced labour costs of not having to pay the entire 700-person staff.

Then the demand for refined petroleum products dropped dramatically due to COVID. I haven’t heard much about what’s going on now profit-wise, but they have dropped production significantly. We’re now into month 5 of the lockout, and it’s the workers that are demanding to go back to work, not the refinery bending over backwards to try to get them back.

All in all, I guess what I’m getting at is... don’t assume you’re not replaceable just because you built the engine that makes money for your company. Any company worth its salt has an established Business Continuity Plan that addresses what to do in a whole number of disasters, and labour disruptions are in those plans.
I worked for a company that was sold for scraps and they laid off all but there people. It didn’t affect me, I got a contract the next week with one of our clients that I worked with and paid for Cobra.

However, my Cobra eligibility died when the acquiring company cancelled their health care and moved everything to India.

That's so far from true that I would love to see links to the posts that made you conclude it. People tend to either imagine "HN bans all politics" (if they would prefer more) or "HN has become overrun by politics" (if they would prefer less). Sometimes they even simultaneously prefer more politics (of the kind they support) and less politics (of the kind they oppose). There's something for everyone to dislike, and the mind seems to find it irresistible to connect the dots into a picture of moderator bias (always, of course, a bias opposed to what it would prefer).

If you or anyone takes a look at those past explanations and has a question that's not answered there, I'd like to know what it is. If anyone knows a better solution, I'd really like to know what it is. Just make sure you've familiarized yourself with the material first, because if it's something simple like "just ban politics" or "just allow everything", I've answered many times already why that won't work.

> I don't quite understand the power imbalance here

There's only a power imbalance if workers are prevented from organizing, or if they (for whatever reason) refuse to organize. Or if they workers are very easily replaceable.

Obviously, if you're one of 200 workers, you can't negotiate evenly with the ownership as 1/200th of the company's workforce. Same goes if you're an unskilled worker who is easy to replace. However, even then, if you organize with all 200 of your co-workers, you are closer to a balance in negotiating power since it would be hard for said company to replace all 200 workers at once.
Vendor lock-in shows up when you want to cut costs. For example, during a recession.

It basically a fixed cost imposed by the cloud providers.

I.e. when the economy contract, and yet AWS/Azure profits are growing, this is the pain of vendor locking.
The Wikipedia article does describe steampunk as a high-profile example.

Also interesting to note the two non-distinct forms of retrofuturism: "the future as seen from the past" and "the past as seen from the future". Steampunk is an example of the latter.
> the whole point of evolving light skin was to get the necessary beneficial effects of sunlight (including vitamin D)

I’m not sure that we actually know that this is true. It could be that there is some other beneficial mutation which causes light skin which is only a net positive at higher latitudes where light skin is not penalized as much. And there’s some disconfirming evidence for the vitamin D hypothesis: people of African ancestry seem to do okay when they live at higher latitudes and most of us spend most of our time indoors, anyway, and also seem to do okay.
Yeah I'm not sure whether people upvote this story because, like you, they are critics of the idea and want to make fun of it or at least highlight the dangers, or because this spirit envokes a truthfully positive association. Probably both, because it gives something to both sides.

Personally, I feel that there is a little boy/girl in everyone of us and quite many tech-immigrants to SFBA went there to chase their own Lambo type dreams. This isn't something reprehensible but in fact part of the american fabric (liberty and the pursuit of happiness).

But of course the metaphor ends at the absolute danger of the situation the boy is causing. A startup is comparatively safe to what the little guy did.

> So, the 1918 pandemic did not lead to just extremism; it led to right wing extremism. (I'd suggest changing the title to reflect this, if possible.) This is a danger that we are facing right now in the US.

Are we? Show me some actual evidence.

Yes, there are some similarities between our situation and 1918. But there are massive differences. We should certainly observe the situation to see if the pandemic causes people to radicalize, but it's rather alarmist to conclude that it is already happening, based solely on this.
It's similar for professional race car drivers. Many top drivers start at 6-12 years old.

Zillions of people. Usually it gets called steampunk (18xx) or dieselpunk (193x-194x). 195x-6x futurism usually ends up going very Googie. And we’re starting to see 70s/80s retrofuturism, mostly I’d say the word associated with that is vaporwave.

More art than actual tech, and most of the tech is one-off hand-built stuff.
IANAL but I believe so. When I was very young, long before a license, but probably closer to 10 than 5, my parents taught me to drive the tractor around the field. I think others here will have had similar experiences as well.

To understand this better, here's a good place to start in the Webkit source code: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/master/Source/WebCore/...
That is the interface Webkit uses to draw "native theme" buttons and other controls on Mac. It is not using a real Cocoa NSButton for each button in the Web page. Instead, it creates its own internal DOM and CSS rendering objects (HTMLButtonElement, RenderButton respectively) which are cross-platform code. Every time it needs to draw a button, it calls virtual methods on RenderTheme. On Mac, the RenderThemeMac implementation calls down into Cocoa code to draw the background and borders of the button. (But not text; that wouldn't work in general, because in HTML a <button> can contain arbitrary HTML elements, and native buttons can't handle that.) That's pretty much the only involvement of Cocoa native button code. Firefox works in a very similar way; here's the Firefox version of RenderThemeMac: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/widget/coco...

If your plan to improve your own working conditions requires you to obstruct others from seeking employment that they’d be happy to have, then you have a bad plan, and you don’t have any moral high ground either. Anybody at any level in any company has an incentive to deny others the right to compete with them. This doesn’t make you a hero to the laborers. You do have a right to picket, you have no right at all to obstruct others in their own search for employment, or in accessing their place of work. Collective bargaining gives you the ability to voluntarily combine your bargaining power. It does not give you any right at all to involuntarily strip others of their own.

If you want to know why employees themselves might be anti-union, and get confused as to why anybody would want something that you so clearly see as being against their own interests, this is why. If you don't like the union, it's not as simple as "don't join the union". Because as you demonstrate here, any union organiser with any ambition is going to make their first priority after forming the union to be pushing out non-union members, and restricting their ability to seek employment outside the CBA, by any and all means available (even regardless of legality).
I have struggled with understanding Nix package manager for a long time. I use it on my macOS as a daily driver, but never understood the various pieces involved for me to comfortable make changes to my configuration. `nix-env -i` and `nix-env -e` were all I was comfortable with.
