"the Paris Court of Appeal ruled that ‘bore out’ was indeed a form of moral harassment."

That's... interesting to say the least. On the other hand, such a ruling might encourage companies to adopt more flexible hours for employees to only do work when needed. I imagine it would have more of an impact in office jobs where a lot of work can just be done remotely from home. That said, you'd have thought this employee would've been let go early on if they didn't really need him.
After finding the right search terms (concatenating hash functions), I found a few stackexchange discussions about this, which lead me to other methods like truncating a stronger hash function[1], and chaining hash functions[2]. Apparently TLS already concatenates MD5 and SHA1 [2][3].

Given that the article is about collision attacks and not preimage resistance, that was my main thought when thinking of the issue. I'll leave it to the experts to figure out what's the best for cryptographic hash functions.

Why would CIBC Intria have his savings and transfer it to Brink's?

Of course I did just that. And that worked flawlessly. Which totally suckered me in. After that I built up the bar on that principle and found out that the variability resulting from very small errors in cutting and drilling was enough to cause some of the solenoids to bind. Re-doing that took a lot of time but the end result is much better.

The essential dimensions are: hole: 6.05 mm (drill 6 mm, it drills a tiny bit larger), pushrods about 5.72 mm. That gives minimum friction. But you can't buy 5.72 mm rods so you end up buying 6 mm rod and then sanding that down for every key to the right diameter. This is not the most precise process so you'll end up with 5.72 +- a few 100th of a mm. And then there is the humidity to deal with.

In the end I simply took a slightly larger bite out of the back of the action so it would have some more room between the edge there and the row of pushrods, that took care of any precision issues with where the holes were drilled and I matched each hole to it's rod individually based on how much play there was at the top, which is fairly easy to measure (deflection left/right).

The failure modes are: action not far enough back, pushrod will push the key up and then go right by it jamming the stick, pushrod can slip into the space between the plunjer and the wall jamming the stick and front row pushrods binding against the action. And because this only comes out when you have assembled everything it takes some time to analyze and fix.

What did not help is that the action itself is highly irregular, both in force required for a key to activate and in dimensions per key (especially horizontally), this made each key a unique item and my test key ended up not being representative enough.

I've been to China repeatedly over the last 15 years and you can see the pace of change with your own eyes. Large cities built so fast that you can literally walk through neighbourhoods and not recognise where you are after two to three years, that's not propaganda.

The real danger today doesn't lie in authoritarianism but in a lack of state capacity. Decades of fearmongering have led the US and significants chunks of Europe to a point where governments can't provide cotton swabs during a pandemic and can't build housing in their cities.

> One data point: Germany is 30% renewables and pays 50% higher than EU average.

The price of energy in Germany was already high before the switch to renewables, for reasons unrelated to renewables. The renewables surcharge only is 21% of the price per kWh: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1009248/household-power-...

Edit: I feel it's worth mentioning that the price per kWh only tells half the story. High energy prices also incentivize buying efficient appliances and having well-insulated houses: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Annual-household-electri...

As anecdata, our German household of five only pays about 80€/month for electricity (cooking with electricity, heating and warm water with gas).

Every serious plan of conversion of an economy towards renewables has reduced energy consumption through reduction of waste as a core element.

I find the fact talks fell through particularly concerning as right now we should all be presenting a united front against China.

I also think they should call this a digital tax or apply it only to digital services. I understand that’s where the biggest impact will be felt but a minimum corporation tax rate shouldn’t depend on business type and I dislike the idea people are free to target companies for being “too successful”.

We are social animals. Raising one person takes a lot of work from their parents, caregivers, teachers, friends -- "It takes a village to raise a child", proverb says. This is why just letting someone fall off the cliff (on their own will or not) is not in the interest of the society as a whole.

idk, at least they are trying to get revenue for their own people from somewhere else.

I wish EU would get more specific about the harm companies are making (like uninformed voting, health/financial consequences of buying/using products, companies gathering/mishandling data without user consent).

At this point recommendations that save time are so closely tied to personalized ads, that it's hard for me to imagine a world without them.

Limiting revenue of the companies for the sake of limiting their revenue is a step towards communism.

GDPR was a step in the right direction for example, as it gave more responsibilities for companies instead of forbidding the services/ads they can provide.
More economic saber-rattling. We need less of this jingoist bull.
My opinion is that it doesn't matter how much it costs; it is worth it at any cost, because continuing down the path of making our planet uninhabitable for humans is not a winning strategy.

I’ve been working with XML, and various flavors, thereof, for decades.

XML schema is a big reason that
I would use XML. Otherwise, it’s a fairly painful and prolix standard.

XML is also a good way to deliver longer streams of data (for me), because so many parsers will allow “realtime” parsing of “broken” XML data, while JSON tends to require the entire document to be delivered (and correct) before parsing (I’m sure that will be changing, if it hasn’t already).

I’ve written ONVIF software, which is SOAP/WSDL-based.

I’ve written XSLT, which could be used as a form of medieval torture.

I’ve written servers, with REST, and REST-like APIs. I generally prefer REST-like, where the server response is JSON and/or XML (usually either one), but the GET/POST/PATCH stimulus is transaction/URI argument-based. That’s the way most folks seem to like doing it, as well.

Pure REST requires sending XML or JSON; putting a huge onus on the server, and making it difficult to be flexible (I like to support both XML and JSON as “first-class citizens”).

> Because the simplest way to validate a JSON document is first to consume it with some common library that guesses types almost like we do: “does it have quotes around? string!” And only then, with already cast value, to compare its type with whatever is defined in a schema.

This is true. JSON schema isn’t particularly useful to me. I feel like it works against the reason for using JSON. I like JSON, precisely because it is so lightweight.

XML Schema is incredibly mature and robust (and an enormous pain in the butt to write). Validation is built into almost every parser; while many folks are unaware that JSON Schema even exists.

What I tend to do, is serve both XML and JSON from a server, with XML accompanied by Schema (sometimes, dynamically generated), but the JSON derived from the XML, so it benefits from the XML validation.

I’m wondering if standards like OpenGL will replace both XML and JSON. I’ve never used it, because of the requirement to use a third-party library, but it is a compelling tool.

Don't have any especially good case studies or rigorous papers but the effect makes sense to me. Lots of practice leads to order-of-magnitude improvement, which suggests that a future-great system starts off producing some relatively questionable results.

If it doesn't benefit the Dutch, they would (and I understand they have at least attempted to) close the loopholes. For instance, they could require more presence in the country in particular ways: physically, employed citizens, cash in banks, taxes paid, etc.

I started noticing this recently where even in Netflix shows (not documentaries) there are subtle messages.

> A lot of other people would cite the Gulf of Tonkin as an example too, but that's something I know less about so I'll leave it to someone else.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident was explained to the American public at the time as pair of attacks on two separate nights against the US Navy by the North Vietnamese. This was used as the casus belli for the Vietnam War; in response to the two attacks congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which authorized LBJ to start a war (without formally declaring a war...)

The first attack probably did happen, however in 2003 Robert McNamara (who had been the US Secretary of Defense at the time of the incident) admitted the second attack never happened. Straight from the horse's mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HODxnUrFX6k

> In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, access to alcohol will likely become limited due to social-distancing measures mandated by government officials. Some of these necessary public health strategies—shelter-in-place and closing of non-essential businesses—may in turn cause people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) to find themselves in unsafe scenarios. Forward thinking about how to reduce harms to people with AUD is critical. Untreated AUD is often managed with daily alcohol use, necessary to stave off cravings and withdrawal.
Something that's as dynamic as HN seems to me like a bad fit for IPFS. A blog seems fine for it; I make my own blog accessible through IPFS.

I remember at times, even 1 cent savings was "rewarded". It really can get cut throat on cost savings.

I guess the question that comes to mind is, what would be the motive? That is if you are implying this was an attack by a foreign government (and not that he was a foreign spy who just coincidentally went nuts).

TLDR; Gödel’s incompleteness theorem rests on recursive functions which can be expressed as looping programs, i.e., for() loops. Dennis Ritchie’s PHD thesis, which was never accepted by Harvard because he refused to pay for a bound copy required for submission, demonstrated that the complexity of looping programs is determined by the degree of nesting.

Ritchie did not seem to be driven by status seeking but instead by the urge to build things.
Coaches interact with the members every day. The vast majority of our coaching touchpoints are asynchronous -- either checking in or replying to members via SMS, or configuring member's daily plan (step goals, exercise videos, lessons, etc.). As you can imagine, we've spent quite a bit of time building out tooling on our back end to scale the coach to member ratio while still being able to provide personalized, human service.

> I never looked at cleaners the same way again.

Cleaners are people and are as complex, multi-faceted and interesting as anyone. No-one ignored me when I was a cleaner (I'm not a person to let them!), but I knew a girl who cleaned at a uni and she felt the students ignored her. She was a great person and they would have loved to have known her, she would have loved them back, it could have been great, but they probably didn't see her and I think she felt they were above her, and didn't try (well, smart students at a uni, she was a menial worker etc).

So the gap was never bridged - and had it been bridged, simply being acknowledged and chatted to by them, and appreciated as a person, would have helped her through a truly terrible time in her life. As well as making her job much nicer in the not-awful parts of her life.

People often don't see cleaners, cleaners/janitors/maintenance etc. sometimes they feel overawed or outclassed or something and scared off. Learn to see them, learn to say hello, let them know they are appreciated (as people, not as cleaners etc). It makes a huge difference to someone's work of scrubbing the floors, it really does. Like I said, it was my job once.

WTF, get out of my house (browser). It is my private property. I just want a goddamn tomato (send an email or post a photo or read news).
