Since when do banks criminally charge people?

Why is it an insane idea in 2020 for a country to criminally charge those who violate it's laws?
We've changed the title to sidestep this. The word 'brick' is up there with 'doxx' on the list of curiously provocative words that people will strongly protest if you use them wrong, yet aren't exactly well defined. Not as high on the list as 'doxx' though. 'Troll' is on that list too.
I wonder if some of that is that you also behave differently when more fit vs not. Like maybe more subconsciously confident when fit?
I can say that I would prefer to use Firefox instead of Chrome, except that Firefox has no OSA scripting endpoints on macOS (a real shame) and I've written a lot of code that depends on Chrome APIs over the years.

Even if I did move to Firefox however, I would still implement a directory-based profile segmentation strategy.
WordPress is insanely widely used so Google crawls it thoroughly, is the theory.
There's a patch for this problem, which is particularly useful if you want to run Windows 95 in a virtual machine. https://winworldpc.com/download/c39dc2a0-c2bf-693e-0511-c3a6...

Indeed, there's a pre-made VirtualBox image pinned to the top of Reddit's /r/windows95 if you are lazy.
Then go after Huawei, which is an entity operating in the US? But that is not what happened; Huawei is not being sued, an individual that never dealt with a US entity is being sued for an alleged crime between non-US entities outside the US.

>public servants being taught how to file bug reports and whatnot.

Sounds a little ominous, did it not?
obviously you don't now what the current incognito mode means (it has nothing to do with what you tell remove servers)
Hmm, this the first time I've been downvoted so hard and coincidentally, also the first time I've ever mentioned the CCP.

What a wild coincidence. /s
I started in CS, moved to photography for about 10 years, and I'm now back in CS. The amount of customer interaction is ultimately what soured me on it.
IDK his POV, but in mine, I believe most people supporting Socialism has no role model, in part because there hasn't been any Socalism that worked out, so they end up talking about this mythical socialist unicorn. Some of them believe that Venezuela and Cuba are just fine.

I'm talking about Spain.

Aren't people from other countries more likely to be diverse in terms of education, worldview, language, technical background, and even race than American-born people?

I understand that H1B visas may depress the wages of skilled Americans, perhaps with a disproportionately negative impact on some minorities, but that's not quite the same as 'holding back diversity'.
Why are ads for cloud services so bad?

As so many of these incidents have happened over the last few days it seems like there should be a law that heightens the penalties when cops attack the press compared to the current penalties.
Serious question, what was OS/2 and who used it?
> What's damaging in this case is that Google created the signalling mechanism, gave it to users, and then intentionally chose to circumvent it.

Absolutely not.

Incognito mode, as in every browser, means you're history isn't recorded on your machine. And as GP said, Chrome even explicitly explains your ISP or websites may still track you.

And Chrome isn't doing anything to circumvent it.

Intent and reasonableness here is perfectly fine on Google's part. Incognito mode successfully prevents storing history on your machine. Analytics successfully track you. And nobody's being misled. Incognito mode has never been advertised or marketed as anti-tracking, because it's not supposed to be. It's just a convenience to clear cookies and history, nothing more.
> Why doesnt china have the freedom to choose what commerce they want to engage in?

They do. Your setup is a false premise. China can flout any sanctions the US levies against other nations anytime they see fit. They also have to accept there may be consequences based on the US influence around the world. If you do commerce with China, you have to accept there may be consequences if you upset them, also.

> If China jailed Tim Cook for selling iPhones to Taiwan that were intended for export to Europe, the US would rightly flip out.

Taiwan is a liberal, democratic, human rights protecting nation, which is not pursuing nuclear weapons, is not threatening to commit genocide against one of its neighbors, and is not aggressively sponsoring terrorism and militias all across Asia.

The Taiwan situation has nothing in common with the Iran situation. They're polar opposites, morally, culturally, politically.

China may see the situation with Taiwan as comparable to how the US sees Iran, however the rest of the world does not. Nobody else actually regards Taiwan as anything other than a democratic, peaceful nation.
Yup, I'd prefer NOT to touch the systems of the vehicle that's serving as my lifeboat, life support, and ONLY re-entry option.

Obama's pushing in the media as an "up and comer" felt like typical party messaging and positioning. I think he just surprised them when he "up and came" faster than they wanted him to, but I suspect his prominence in the first place was planned and intended by party insiders.

[EDIT] I mean the messaging concerning him and his prominence before he announced a Presidential run. It's no accident that there was a lot of chatter about him well before that on national media, all the sudden. Felt like official party grooming via the media.
Two vulnerabilities in Zoom could lead to code execution
I think the problem with your argument is that you assume there is always an a priori agreed upon definition of what constitutes negative externality, and this is just not true. Specifically, the line (emphasis mine):

> It's not inconsistent with any definition of rights that I'm aware of to say that you can't pollute our air without consequences

What exactly does pollute mean here?

I could say that my neighbor generating sawdust while sawing wood to build their deck is "polluting" the air. Or me sneezing while standing on my porch outside is "polluting" the air. Or if I'm watering my plants and some water flows downhill to my neighbor is "polluting" their lawn. Or me practicing piano in my house is polluting the soundscape of the neighborhood. Or, ..., or, ..., or, ..., or, ... See, there are limitless ways that one could construe basically any action someone takes as producing a negative externality. Almost certainly all of the examples I mentioned have been argued as negative externalities, and the answer is not to either accept every argument or reject every argument, because the details and circumstances matter.

My point is: Don't presume that negative externalities are automatically identified, and don't presume that every identified negative externality automatically justifies action to correct it, and don't presume that your chosen favorite corrective action produces no externalities of its own.

To be clear, I agree that there is enough evidence against CO2 that it is worth considering taking action to force CO2 generators to bear the cost of the externalities they produce. I don't agree that it's "obvious" that: 1. the negative externality exists, 2. the chosen remedy will actually solve the problem, 3. that the chosen remedy is known to be sufficiently free of its own negative externalities to consider forcibly changing our behavior. I think these things are true, but I don't think it's obvious that they're true, and trying to assert their truth by trying to make them axioms is dangerous and counterproductive.
Take Two decided to outdo EA in destroying studios.

Wasn't original Kerbal Space Program made by Squad? I'm glad they released it for Linux. I doubt Take Two will do the same.
It’s not normal, I am in fact generally against any form of authoritarianism, I think cops should be less powerful. Maybe my analogy makes it seem otherwise, I was just trying to point out that the context is pretty relevant here. As in, someone getting killed by a lion for no reason and someone getting killed by a lion after provoking it are very different stories.
This is like being in many teamspeak channels at once. It's also built on open standards like webrtc so you could easily integrate into a squawk swarm.

You confuse cause and effect of the soviet block collapse.
See Chao Ma, Xiaohong Yu & Haibo He, Data Analysis: Report on the Publication of Chinese Judicial
Decisions on the Internet, China Law Review 12(4), 2016: 208. (Table 10 lists the ratios of the number of
judicial documents of each province publicly available on CJO to the number of cases adjudicated in each
province, ranging from 15.17% to 78.14%.)

So cherry-picked cases that range from 15-78% of the data set.

1.6k patent cases over multiple years seems -extremely- low to me. The USA has roughly 3-4x that per year. https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Revised-...

The open proctols for RTC today is webTRC. Zoom does not use webRTC. If the proctols Are open like http then I can build my own client and do not have to use theirs (just like you can your own hacker news app) . Zoom will not use webRTC for this precise reason. If they and all others did I can choose my client and I can choose a client who I trust and will give my green tick open source or not .

Google supported jabber in chat for a long time , slack supported IRC (both dropped the support ) but when they did you could any irc client in slack or use google chat using jabber with any client

If an open protocols for video are used like email (although not good example for encryption). It does not matter who your service provider is you can verify they are secure , or move to another one .

Today I have more than 10 video conferencing apps on my devices (zoom, Hangouts, meet, Webex , teams, GoToMeeting , chime , Skype, SfB, FaceTime , signal, telegram , ring central and Uber conference... ) because a customer , partner friend or family uses one of those . I have only one email and browser client though, it does not have to open source at all, ppl happily pay for closed source gmail or o365 without worrying will my mails deliver to you while still using official client or client of their choice

Extension Methods in C++ (2014)
I agree that navigating a map of Physics at the very lowest level would not enlighten any student or researcher. My expectation in mapping atomic steps for a wide swath of the domain might enable insights not otherwise accessible.

The chunking of atomic steps is what enables leaps in understanding. The mapping process starts with understanding each step.
I don't think it makes sense to tax the appreciation of an asset over twenty years as if it were a single year of outsized income. if you want to treat it similarly to income, you should divide the realized gain by the number of years the asset was held and assess taxes as if the person made that quotient in income for each of those years (under the rules/brackets for each year, possibly with some adjustments for inflation). this would make it harder for average joe to estimate his tax liability when he sells, but it prevents the tax optimization you mentioned and is (imo) pretty fair.

Yes, but in those cases it is the judge who decides what information will and will not be allowed to be shown to the jury. There is no legitimate reason for the DA to unilaterally decide to withhold relevant information from the defendant and judge.

Agreed with your overall point that HTML tags should not be misappropriated.

This can be a challenge for purely classless CSS because a style can correspond to different semantics in different scenarios. For example, the cards as used in Basic.css [1] are semantically <section>s. But in a different context, cards could be used for an <aside> [2] or for a social media post which would indeed be an <article> [3].

Your response ignored the comment you responded to, and went on a political diversion.
Well, it's hard to replace a tool which worked for you since many years. You learn all it's tricks and you can build up your workflows around that tool.

Maybe I just had some bad luck regarding Linux. I started with Suse, switch to Gentoo, then Ubuntu and Fedora and others inbetween. I remember the fights I had to take to make 3D acceleration work, strange problems with hardware, things which could not be solved easily where you instead search for step-by-step tutorials on every corner of the internet, distributions which completely failed after certain updates...

You know, it's interesting and all. But in some way I got older and value my time more. So I always went back to the tool I know best, which is Windows. And I think, many many people had similar experiences I had.
Sure, there's probably less exposure from nuking the profiles directory, but I don't think you're being fair to containers:

- Containers are a feature built into Firefox, these extensions just expose a UI for it. The Multi-Account Containers plugin [1] is published by Mozilla. You don't need to trust anyone but Mozilla to use that base set of functionality.

- The container functionality in Firefox is the result of some work from the Tor Browser being upstreamed into Firefox [2]. It seems reasonable to assume that it's well-implemented.

- The limitations of the extension that you linked to don't seem any worse than your profile-segmentation approach. It's just saying that it's possible for multiple websites to get opened in the same container, which is similar to how you could end up opening multiple websites in the same profile.

Wikipedia's OS/2 article is comprehensive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2

tl;dr A graphical OS developed by IBM that succeeded DOS and competed with Windows. Notably, it featured pre-emptive multitasking before Windows did. It was not a success in the home market but was reasonably successful in big business, especially finance, for a short amount of time.
> the entire contract labor market that involves specific payment for customers hiring workers off of the contact would die as customers would just ignore the “unenforceable” restrictions and hire desired employees without the contracted payment to the intermediary firm.

I've seen this happen over and over again, and I've even been in this situation myself. One of my first subcontracting jobs ended with me being contracted directly by the company I was was subcontracted to, and there was literally nothing that anyone could do (or really even care to do).

This doesn't mean the contract labor force is going to die off- generally speaking people who hire contractors want contractors, not employees, for a variety of reasons (financial commitment, not having to manage the HR aspects of the employee, knowing that you can let the contractors go without having to notify the state of a lay off).
VirtualCam was already a thing, but only for Windows (not sure what is the backstory behind the more recent version being maintained by someone else; I think I'm using catxfish's version): https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.539/

OBS has full desktop as well as window capturing capabilities, so if you only want to show the contents of a single window, you would add a "window capture" item to your scene: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Sources-Guide#...

...then select "VirtualCam" from the Tools menu, and click "Start" to start sending images to the selected virtual camera. These virtual devices appear in eg. Zoom, so if you select it and enable video within the app, others will see 5 faces and Visual Studio Code having a conversation.

(Of course you can add more sources to the scene, aligning them appropriately, so you can have your face in the corner alongside the captured window.)
The 200-500 is stunning, for its price point; I'm really pleased with it. I much prefer it to the 80-400.
Communism ≠ USSR

Corruption is not a specific trait of ex Soviet countries, I would argue that it is more rampant in capitalistic countries, where money can buy favourable regulations (see tobacco or oil industry as an example)
Class-action lawsuits in the USA often end up being settled with little or no real action. I hope for better here but I'm not going to hold my breath on it.
One of the major reasons organisations go with Microsoft is the support they provide, although user's familiarity certainly plays another role as well

How does that work out in situations where Linux is adapted? Do they pickup a distro which provides support?

Three things. First, this is only true of the past and doesn't saying anything about the future. Second, this "study" isn't weighted based on the size of the estate. Third, that 10% matters far more than you could imagine.

>Politicians, police, corporations, media... the institution is trying to pushing the idea that protestors == looters.

You cannot say that corporations are doing that when Google, Sony, Target, Home Depot, EA, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Facebook, Apple, Intel, Levi's, Banana Republic,Amazon, Spotify, Snap, Netflix, Microsoft, Zillow and Disney are in favor of the protests/riots. And those are the ones I found on the first article I clicked.
Show HN: StreamE – Cross-platform live-stream viewing service
I most certainly did include the bit about this administration and the word 'fascist' - that was the whole point! I included the other stuff as a prelude because I feel that the accusation needed a sense of gravity. It's a serious one, but accurate in my opinion.
As we've seen in recent cases, corporate management has become incentivized to choose the interests of the investors over the health of the company or the customer or their workers, making short-term decisions that look good in quarterly reports.
The day is closer than most here on HN think.

TikTok is doing extremely well and rapidly gaining users. They demonstrate a good knowledge of everything that SV typically does and are based entirely out of China. These arguments about culture are laughable. TikTok is basically the engine of culture now among teens and is playing a big part in the current protests.

Zoom has its engineering based in China. This means two of the fastest growing consumer products today are built by Chinese software engineers.

The Chinese are also at the bleeding edge of Machine Learning and are taking baby steps in building cloud services. With the elimination of Huawei from Western tech ecosystem they will be forced to build an entire stack from Silicon => Pixels and its well within their reach in the next decade.

IntelliJ which everyone here swears by is built entirely out of Russia.

All FANGs are rapidly scaling up their presence outside the US in locations like Europe/Canada to hedge US visa issues which will intensify over time. The only way to employ non US software engineers along with western ones might be to have offices in non US western countries.

But that's an extra hoop. Without joining together in governance, what stops corporations from exercising their power on individuals directly?
Not only that, you can effortlessly launch Firefox with temporary profiles to emulate what the script in the OP is doing. I think that Firefox's strict privacy setting + containers are all that are needed, though.
Not to go off on a tangent but what you said is true, most people don't care about Linux...or Windows, or MacOS. They have a general apathy to whatever desktop OS they use, with a slight bias to whatever they used last. People just want to use the applications they want and need.

Perhaps the same statement would apply to workplace control. Most people have a general apathy to their workplace governance and only care about their pay and benefits.

I really don't know how you make people care about things, but compelling a change that people are free to make today by government force is last on my list of things to try.
