Do you care to explain why? Because what I said is factual.

They stated they aim to "limit the actions we take to those necessary to comply with local law", in this case their action went beyond that limit, and now that they're aware, they fixed it.

And I see no evidence otherwise -- this is not something they've shown any pattern of behavior in. It appears to be a one-off.

Any conspiracy-mongering that Zoom is nefariously in cahoots with the Chinese government to intentionally try to sneak in an extra blocked account just begs credulity.

Ultimately, you can smelt them. It's not very economical, but the elements don't go away.

Ideally, you'd be able to 'refresh' the electrode material inexpensively. This involves removing lithium plating from the anode, and oxidized electrolyte from the cathode. This isn't a mature process, and it won't be until battery chemistries and manufacturing get more standardized and scale up. But there aren't strong theoretical reasons why this should be uneconomical. These issues take place at the surface of the electrode grains, and can likely be solved with bulk treatment. It's still going to require a fair amount of work to harvest the electrode material, but materials cost is a large percentage of battery production.

> Under is somehow suspicious according to your thinking

Read my comment, where did I say this was suspicious? What I said in regards to the stop is:

> there are hundreds of thousands of stops everyday, many like this one are ridiculous

>shouldn’t have made the stop to begin with

The law on police stops is very clear you need a violation of a statute or pc...so if there is a minimum and you are under it that is a violation and a cop can stop you...just the same as if you violate the maximum speed statute the cop can stop you. In Florida they even have a “catch all statute” to pull you over if you are driving the exact speed limit if that wasn’t safe based on “conditions of the road” which of course is purely subjective.

I’m not arguing for or against the laws in any capacity and the laws are not my logic.

I had the same thing happen recently, being rehired under subsidiary company, and they were great at explaining why (at least in a general sense) and reassuring us it had no effect on our job security.

We had to lay off a new hire and reduce hours across the board due to Covid-19, and once again they did a great job at reassuring us they had every intention of keeping (the rest of) us employed as much as possible.
I don't get it. Why would a bank loan billions to a company losing money, so they can acquire another company losing money? The bank takes all the risk for little return. At what point should the bank just become an investor.

I was a fan of that until I experienced that they don't actually test the code. I've had it break in entertaining ways, most recently getting a new monitor from Dell and trying to enter a phone number (on Firefox on Android, both current & Preview) went like this for the number 123-555-1212, typed without dashes:

Enter number, result is: 125-535-2112 .

On the plus side it was predictable and I was able to eventually enter the number something like 2153552121 and have it appear on page as 123-555-1212. When I encountered this a second time a few days later (reordering due to DOA) I discovered pasting the entire number in allowed the 'automatic' nature to add dashes correctly.

The correct answer to me is to strip out non-numbers and then verify the number is a valid phone number (which should be easier than programmatically determining names or dates).

I think it's best to keep the notice for that kind of meeting as short as possible.

My work cut our hours by 20%, and we were given notice about the meeting only a couple of hours beforehand. It would be cruel to schedule that kind of meeting for several days in time, leaving your staff in purgatory, wondering if they should get a head start on looking for a new job.

I think there's something to this, but perhaps a bit more complex. A lot of the "fake news" I see is coming straight from NYT and WaPo, so not directly due to "bots" or whatever. But certainly it's plausible that a foreign entity could be indirectly plotting to destroy the credibility of those papers, as a general morale destroyer. Watching our papers of record debase themselves is an awful sight.

The broad "bot" concept could be in play, but people are so cheap that I suspect it's funded humans instead. There does seem to be something amplifying our tendencies towards polarization.

Thirty years ago, if someone had a wacky set of ideas, people would point and laugh. These days, they're relatively more likely to clubbed into submission, forced into a struggle session, or just cancelled completely.
This makes more sense. The idea that the communists would want to eliminate their jackboots is laughable. They just want to sabotage their opposition. The last thing they want is independent people.

A temporary hold on resources they can't yet abuse. This makes a lot more sense.

It's not the abuse of power that is the problem, but the power to abuse.

Deep links are only hard because the base concept is semantic organization of your content, so you can deep link to one thing in an organized way. If your app isn't structured to present content like this, if it has many deep workflows or ordered stages of screens/states, then yeah it's gonna be hard to deep link into page 5 of the 11 page workflow you built, that also requires authentication and a bunch of data loading.
> All people are asking for is _one_ outsider voice on the board.

I'm curious what people think the end result of such a thing would be. Does having an outside voice actually contribute to better outcomes for the company? Is there a reason people couldn't just advocate for the current board to listen to other people in their time rather than having a dedicated "outside voice" position? I've seen outsiders come into companies before and fail miserably to accomplish anything because the culture is to not listen to an outsider.

It seems like virtue signalling position to take (advocating for one outsider voice rather than systemic change). Who cares if you get a person who is an outsider on a board if it doesn't fundamentally change things. If you want fundamental change, you'll need to kick all those people out and/or shutdown the company. One person would be ignored.

You know this is true because we all do this at work already. We've all encountered someone who is that "outside voice" in one way or another - they promptly get ignored in a discussion. "Here's Jim with his crazy ideas - again. :eyeroll:"

I think your second paragraph is misplaced. It's my belief that people "accepted a drastic and sudden lifestyle change over the last few months" precisely because it was advertised as a temporary measure.

We're already seeing large numbers of people reject the "stay at home" narrative , simply because they want to, rather than it being driven by improving conditions.

Using this as evidence to suggest that people will adjust to a "new normal" is arguing against your point.

Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islander 0.2%

The burger was invented because a hungry traveler walked into a restaurant in Connecticut that was closing, and the owner had nothing but some beef and bread left. So he improvised - cooked the beef patty and squeezed it between two bread slices.

Not only is it run of the mill questioning it is very specific to a driver in a rental. Where are you going/where you coming from? That shirt is that the company you work for? Where is the office? How long do you have the rental?

the questions combined with the stop suggest the cop was suspicious of drug trafficking because of a rental on the highway going under the speed limit (As you say fishing). Maybe race played a factor but odds are he pulled the rental over under that pretext before knowing the drivers race.
I'm sorry, but it's not obvious to me how splitting the code into more files gives you any of these things except less mixing of HTML and JavaScript (which doesn't seem like a problem unless you have tools that won't handle it). Aren't these aspects of the code itself?

Too bad there's no clear successor this time.
I expected this response, but I'm not defending or attacking police. This article mischaracterizes it's own contents and implies something more sinister and objectively false in the title.

This article is not about the institution as a greater whole. It's not about the bigger picture. It's about the Memphis PD. That's what's on the table here, and that's what the title should make clear.

Sensationalism is the concern, not criticism of police.

That is quite a naive interpretation. It's not like the Times Opinion pages have never seen a Republican op-ed. The issue is that the op-ed in question advocated for violence against American citizens based on factual errors and flimsy premises.

I set up a Jitsi Meet server at home.
It's main resource use is bandwidth. CPU/RAM use for the server is minimal.

I used:
- VMWare Workstation:1CPU/2Core, 6GB RAM(I have RAM to burn)
- Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop default install (so I could use the base snapshot for other things)
- Hardware: i7 2600(yea it is old!), 32Gb RAM, generic gaming desktop with updated GPU.
- To Install Jitsi itself:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KR0AhDZF2A

No end-to-end encryption? Don't care, it is coming to MY home and it DOES have SSL for client to server encryption.
I boot from known good snapshot when I want to use it. Turn it off otherwise. I guess I should figure out accounts etc but it hasn't been an issue to just let it run free for anyone to use while I am using it.

For those HN people who have all the tech-know, just build a Jitsi VPS somewhere with super decent bandwidth.

Hell, I would expect some HN people to be able to automate that shit and give me a website with a nominal price to have my own personal Jitsi Meet server, complete with Domain Name and Jitsi account management.
