I don't know about Poland, but in most EU countries you can not just fire someone and stop paying them. There is a termination period the length of which is relative to the time they were employed at the company. After an initial 'trial' period of typically 6 months, during which both parties can end the contract without notice, the notice period can run between 3 to 24 months for the employer, and 1 to 6 months for the employee. While in case of a firing the employee is in theory still working during that period, in practice most knowledge or commercial workers are cut from access to the company's premises and systems the second after the firing meeting. Companies try to avoid having to pay salary during the termination period by pressuring employees to sign a voluntary immediate mutual contract ending agreement.
> or is it more likely to be political maneuvering to appease the station owners who are worried their business models will be obsolete soon?

What would be the point of that? If station owners believe that charging stations will keep their businesses alive, then they'll put them in themselves, without needing a law telling them to do so.

Whether they have grounds or not, this is a PR disaster for Apple. Lots of people who love technology will see this as a monopoly move against a little guy by a huge company with more cash reserves than a small country.

Not surprised that the top comment on HN is a comment defending Apple either.
I personally think it's only as overwhelming and confusing as one's predisposition to FOMO. I stopped worrying when I found out at meetups and interviews that it really doesn't work like that in most parts of the real world.
I find it basically impossible to reason about performance in the presence of laziness because it means performance is no longer compositional. In a regular language if I write:

def h(a) = {
val b = f(a)
g(b)
}

and this is taking too long, I can examine f and g separately; I know that h(a) will take as long to run as f(a) plus g(b) (plus a little bit). In a lazy language I have no clue.
Just recently, the DWD (German Meteorological Service) was banned from providing a free (and ad-free) general purpose weather app, after they were sued by other app developers that felt that competing with a government financed agency would be unfair.

Of course an app is a much smaller project than launching a cloud provider.

The argument that always comes up is that those flights are necessary because they're flight time required for training and public events are recruiting tools since we have a volunteer force.

However, reducing the number of pilots/planes mean fewer training missions and reducing the military headcount reduces the need for recruitment.

FWIW, the text under "Fewer Distractions" is about using mails in old-school pull mode, where it's you who decides when the e-mails will be fetched from the server, and most importantly, without any notifications. That's truly distraction reducing, and I've adopted the latter part (no attention-grabbing notifications) for myself too.

(Except the little Outlook popup on my work laptop, because I can't be bothered to make Outlook stop displaying it.)

> Just use Gmail and spend the time on something more worthwhile.

The point of all these "let's use Emacs for ..." articles is that, if you're already using Emacs, it won't take you that much more work to decrappify your life elsewhere. The UX we're inflicting on regular people is atrocious and extremely inefficient, and the reason people make Emacs into their personal OS is precisely to buy back time and sanity they'd regularly bleed out interacting with the computing world "the right way".

Like, sure, I'd use GitHub PRs because they're more obvious to someone not used to patchsets, but does anyone regularly works on their code using GitHub's built-in in-browser editor? No, it's much, much more efficient and ergonomic to limit interactions with GitHub to `git fetch`, `git pull` and `git push`, and do everything locally with your text editor/IDE, and local repo management. The same applies to other tasks used regularly - a powerful, ergonomic interface beats the toy interfaces developed for casual users.

(I mentioned Outlook before. I hate its occasionally unpredictable IMAP behavior, frequent failures on fetching mail or calendar data (unless you're connected to MS Exchange system, then it works like a charm), and various other quirks. I still like it more than GMail's web interface, or really, any other web interface to e-mail.)

Chromium is competing with Samsung internet and others on Android, because several companies sell Android.
So it's not fine for Google to force the choice.

Yes!

For the 2019-2020 fiscal year, San Francisco will spend $364 million on the homeless.

I think there are other major issues besides lack of money from lack of taxes.

For one thing, when comparing per capita, you shouldn't just look at the population of San Francisco. A lot of those 8k homeless people came from other parts of the state or even other parts of the country to San Francisco. This is in large part that San Francisco has nice weather and is relatively welcoming to the homeless compared to a lot of cities and jurisdictions. Whereas in a lot of cities, homeless residents might get a lot of harrassment from the police, in San Francisico for the most part they are left alone.

So when doing per capita homelessness in San Francisco, you probably need to look at a much larger overall population that just that of San Francisco.

Presumably those that need to will use that feature. The value is still there as the only way for someone to find out if you have Signal remains the same: brute force. If people who need to keep their Signal use private are using an identifier not tied to their identity, brute forcing will not be useful.

The uncertainty as to how many would use it is likely why it’s been back burnered for so long, but it shouldn’t impact effectiveness. I realize that you may not have been implying it would though.

Almost every photographer that hasn't specialised into a certain area does passport photos. They usually have a always-ready booth setup in their shop to take those kinds of photos. ID cards/passports are required to have and are valid for 10 years, so even in a small 1000-people town it can easily amount to about 1-2 passports a week (which usually costs around 10€-20€). If you cover any type of larger area that can easily cover most of your photography business costs.
Not in Germany, but I do have a dedicated parking space, I could totally afford an electric car, an yet it would not be practical to get one. Here are my reasons:

- I need one car, not many (I'm lucky to get _one_ space, ain't gonna get several!).

- I can't charge it there, there's no infrastructure. Sure, I can ask city to add infrastructure but... good luck with that, it's going to take a while, there are a lot of problems to solve (besides actually installing power near my space, we need a meter to charge me, and it needs to be a "smart meter" that doesn't allow everybody to use power paid by me; it needs to be at least moderately vandalism-proof. And I need to find a way to leave my car plugged in for extended periods of time, unsupervised, without fearing that someone will steal stuff from it - e.g. the charging cable?)

- If all the above are solved - I still need to use that car for extended trips (vacations, visiting parents in a different city). Those would still mean that I need to charge "on the road". Due to the first point, it'd still be a challenge to go 100% electric even if I had the "charging at home" part covered.

Really, I think if we don't solve the "charging in gas stations" part, electric vehicle use is going to be inherently limited.

You may want to try comprehending and responding to the entire reply, not a single cherry picked sentence.

Here is a sample nonsense reply I can give you based on the first part of your sentence: lowering the speed limit of a car to 0 would mean it is no longer a car, because a car is something that moves.

See how my reply makes sense if I ignore the rest of your reply and yet doesn't make any sense when your reply is seen as a whole? That's not a good conversation strategy.
> Let's not entertain the fantasy that a military budget of $732 billion...exists to defend US soil from invasion.

Obviously not in its entirety, but it's also worth recognizing that the world is a different place in 2020 than it was in 1940 and that no country - the United States or otherwise - can afford to purchase a national defense at the last minute. Once you realize you need one, it's already too late.
Additionally, the article fails to address any of the points (seemingly calmly!) made by the employees accused of racism. This is a disgusting way to hold a conversation of this much importance. As an outsider, to me America seems laser-focused on tearing itself to shreds.

Hacker Laws – Fitts' Law
It got me the same way at first. But then I realized that the questions simply bring out the essence of being human, the same flaws and insecurities that most people feel. That had me feeling that we’re all connected on a human level through good and bad, diminishing the importance of the issues one might have in a relationship. That was my take away from those annoying questions, anyway.

You are of course correct, but I've faced discrimination in hiring practices myself and therefore tried to research more fair methods of conducting interviews.

Aside from the obvious idea of masking one's visual identity for example through VR avatars in lieu of face-to-face interviews (to hide for example gender, physical appearances and able-bodieness), one's voice would still reveal many factors that could be used to purposefully or accidentally skew any neutral position one might have during interviews.

I know for a fact, that if I had the Indian accent to accompany my surname, I would be ranked lower or rejected altogether during interviews. I sadly have a slight rally Finnish accent, so even if my grammar were to be perfect, I'm not a good hire compared with native English speakers even if I'm just as capable for the same position.
One is for their private contact discovery system[1] and two because they were trying to promote Signal as a default messenger with iMessage like automatic encryption upgrading. A goal to enable people to adopt it even if all their friends weren’t converted yet.

Of course, this feature is Android only as iOS doesn’t allow default alternatives.
I was told before getting married that the single most dangerous thing to a relationship is contempt, and that if you want the marriage to last, never tolerate contempt from either person.

That has turned out to be very good advice. Every now and then one of us will have a moment, we'll say something contemptuous, and the other will call it out immediately. Because we both had that understanding, right off the bat, it's like this escape hatch to conflict that cuts things off before they become hurtful.

Keeping "the spark alive" I think is difficult with kids. Really, you need quality time alone together, which becomes very hard to get. I think to some degree one of the important things beyond the "no contempt" rule is to remember that one of the greatest gifts you can give your child is a healthy and loving family, and in that you can start to find a new respect for your partner as the fellow parent of your child. There can be a really special camaraderie where you're "in it together" doing this difficult job of raising a young child.

It does get easier as the kids get bigger. 9-18 months is pretty difficult, but it's partially offset because after age 1 they start being so much more interesting, and by 2 the personality is really developed and a lot of fun.

It's hard, but worth it. Hang in there!

Especially Befunge. Here's fizzbuzz[0].

It's a stack based language where each character pushes something onto the stack or operates on the stack. The code pointer starts in the top left going to the right. But when it hits things that look like arrows (<, v, >, ^), the code pointer turns in that direction and starts executing that way. There is also the ? command which sends the pointer in a random direction, _ and | which pop a value and send the pointer left/right or up/down if its true, and # which makes the pointer trampoline over and skip the following cell in whatever direction the pointer is moving.

While I assume Signal is very good at keeping your neighbors and the like out of your business, I feel like the NSA must have some ways of getting in to signal if they want. Like if they have backdoors to get in to iPhones I assume they can replace the binary and get at your info.

Idk after learning about the Snowden revelations I assume every computer is compromised. I mean didn’t x86 have unpatched vulnerabilities for like two decades? It’s really hard for me to imagine that apps like Signal running on iphone or android can offer enough security to keep out the NSA. But I’d be very curious what folks think about that. I’ve told my drug dealer friends “signal is fine for selling weed but if you commit a murder they will probably find a way to get your messages.”
it's not a translation, but the replacement in function is the "actually" opener, which conveys the "ni" "you are almost right but"

> whether the intimacy between two committed partners can be broken down by forcing them to ask each other thirty-six questions no one in a relationship should actually ask

don't read on if you're easily offended by topics of sex - what follows is how a European perceives US/American dating culture. If you get offended by the word "porn" don't read. you've been warned ...

going through the list in this article I'll more likely to fall in love with a partner willing to discuss these. There are actually several deep conversations buried within each question - and I have discussed many of them with my partner. it sounds a bit sad (not to say pathetic) to me if somebody is unable to raise these in a relationship.

maybe I'm strange, in which case what do young couples today talk about?

American dating culture and how it is propagandized in Hollywood serials is very odd to me. I spent a lot of time among Americans at work and also outside work. To me as a European having to ask somebody to go on a date in a formal way is pretty odd. Like you can't just go out for a movie or drinks with the opposite sex and see where it leads? I have never been on a date in my whole life and this article reminds me how sterile and awkward Anglo-Saxon cultures are about sex, dating and relationships.

The English basically can't do it unless they're utterly wasted (exaggerating but there is truth here!).
American's can't do it unless they constantly talk about "daddy this" and "daddy that" -> what's up with this pedopheliac insinuations that are everywhere from old books such as The Great Gatsby to The Boardwalk Empire (it's not new that Americans like to call their man daddy).

If I just started making out with a woman and she calls me daddy I'd be so grossed out I'd be heading for the door. Also if you look at porn (and the US is the biggest producer here) you can see what they think gets clicks: suggestions of individual A does it with their "step-daughter" and violence is the norm. Americans can't get off unless there is violence (--> this is very different to Italian or French porn).

Generally Americans have some rather strange rules of what to ask on date number #1 then date #2 ... and then 3 months later women expect some conversation about where this is going. E.g. a couple constantly have to move "forward". I've had an American gf - her constant blubbering and her inability to just enjoy the silence together was what killed it. I never understood if it was out of insecurity that she was never able to shut up - but meeting many of the years it's more the norm with both sexes than the exception. Like they have to constantly open their mouth even they got nothing to say to remind themselves that they're still ok and to mask their insecurity.

I'm going off on a tangent but this article reminded me of all that. considering the article isn't a joke it just drives home even more how pathetic and sterile US dating culture is. I mean if you can't discuss your deepest and darkest with your SO why not just get a dog? why bother at all with such a farce?
Almost none of the stuff that matters exists in the Darwin layer, though.
