> The flaws of the ID-card is a very politically charged topic to discuss in Estonia, having any doubts about the ID-card or e-voting will make you a persona non grata.

I somewhat disagree, the discussion tends to get bent by some populist agent provocateurs and some of the initial reactions from the private sector media. (In Estonia, the government media is the most centered out of all news outlets, go figure). What these statements usually are is that "ID card has a flaw X, therefore we should immidiately ban it, close the R&D and burn it with fire", forgetting that crypto and computing in general, changes over time. My view is that, of course each flaw has to be resolved and sometimes this is political, but this just means the work has to continue.
@neilparikh's comment was not what I was referring to.

Singapore has government substantiated condos that are quite good. You have to be a citizen to get the benefits, but if you can benefit from it, someone working min wage can buy a decent place to live.
"...all the text of [the related] posts included collapsed in the HTML"

Huh. Facepalm.

Is there any way to exclude portions of content from indexing?

Like maybe inlining robots directed pragmas:

<span data-robots="noindex"> blah blah blah </span>

Or using meta tags to spec exclusions:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex:.related-posts" />

FWIW:

Yup. Even, for example, the UK furlough scheme only paid something like 80% of people's normal wages. The American media kept very quiet about that detail when going on about how much better it is than the American approach and about how the government there had failed people by not implementing something like that.
Yeah, I'm referring to Sam Adams Boston Lager. Their Oktoberfest is pretty good as well. I'm not a fan of much of anything else they put out.

Most of the macros have a 'flagship' product, and that's what I was more or less referring to. Most micros have a fleet of beers, all bad or mediocre. A handful of them have 1 or 2 flagships that are quite good. It's rare that a microbrewery has more drinkable than dumpable beers, IMO.
This is probably part of networkd, which is a different daemon in charge of managing the network

Spoken like someone who has never done either.

15+ years ago when I was hacking and doing credit card fraud, I could make $1000 cash a day without a lot of effort or time. Because I was careful about protecting myself and didn't work a lot I didn't have much stress. I have far more stress with a full time job.

That said, the drug game would be a lot more stressful.
That's because distro releases just love to keep changing where network configuration goes.

NetworkManager? No it's in sysconfig/interfaces. No that was last release. Now it's in a netplan YAML file you get to learn all about.

So many terrific "improvements" every release!
I have to deal with table layouts now and then.

What css will work on what element of a table or won't work and why feels like an endless rabbit hole for me.
‘Everbody’s Infected’: 76 Farmworkers Test Positive in New Coronavirus Outbreak
This is a good point. It's interesting to note, though, that the fed's balance sheet never really goes down and that today mortgage backed securities are still a huge part of the balance sheet and that the fed is still active in this area even though the MBS purchase program was ended.

We should also note that some of the companies will go bankrupt and the fed is doing little to qualify its loans. So it is not really a loan in the traditional sense (it is a low interest rate loaned handout).

Combining these two together, we have the potential to create a situation like Japan where the government is constantly managing the debt of some of the private sector. The cost on society for this can be much higher than the difference on interest rates shows.
Thanks for this. Always keen to learn from older startups but I was unable to find the company you're referring to -- any idea as to the name?
I did it because when I activate incognito mode it disabled my extensions. The main reason for me doing that was that I wanted to make sure that it wasn't my adblocker that filtered it out.

Sorry for not being clear about that.
This topic is on wealth inequality rather than amazon practices.

I am not sure where this was from but it went something like this like that:

If there was a staircase and you could take a step for each 100k networth you own. Somewhere around 50% would not be able to take a first step, rest would barely get to 10-20.

Bezos would be half way to International Space Station.

Just think about it and say its all normal and ok.

Lets go back 200 years - just because slavery is considered normal and lawful it doesn't mean its not immoral.
Do you understand that you can construct flip-flops from NAND gates? You can construct registers from flip-flops.
William Hill US | Functional Programmer (Scala) | Jersey City, NJ, USA | ONSITE | Full Time
The thing that distinguishes our team (and the reason I chose to work here) is that our CIO is a functional programming evangelist who understands that you can't just hire a team of FP enthusiasts - rather, you hire great engineers interested in being challenged and train them to become FP enthusiasts. We have a formal training program ("Scala U") that will show you basic scala syntax but its real purpose is to train people in how to become functional programmers with a combination of mentorship, pairing, classroom, exercises, and books. He's easy to talk to and super-enthusiastic, and I personally have learned a lot from him.

Here is the job description: https://www.williamhill.com/us/careers/?gh_jid=4465782002

We also have openings in devops, front end, and iOS, and other technical and non-technical roles.

Feel free to send me questions: My hackernews username at gmail.
Fundamentally, their product is an app that the riders and drivers pay them to use. I don't think the fact that they use it to do something in the real world changes that Uber is a software company.
"100% Valid W3C HTML Files". That's all. There are some times when mentioning the motivation is relevant and might be important, but "a developer's tool made for developers just like you, a developer" isn't it.
Right, I suspect that the interest rate differential is higher than 2%. In some cases the businesses receiving loans are insolvent and the loans are effectively non-repayable, i.e. gifts -- but not all.

The true cost is almost certainly somewhere between 2% and 100%.
You're absolutely correct.
And I completely understand the author's point of view.

By disclosing the vulnerability, I'd be taking a risk of a criminal investigation. This is not a joke. This has already happened at least once in Lithuania.

I have a job, one that has nothing to do with infosec, but I'd be risking that job if I had an ongoing criminal investigation.
I never understood why they don’t just put the dual heat pipe on all models. I run my t460p with gpu disabled, and the dual heatpipe cools the cpu so effectively that the fan is inaudible most of the time.

I think that’s worth discussing (op asked what there is to discuss). I don’t think rich people are evil. But I wish we could come up with mechanisms for them to share their wealth with their employees who helped them build that wealth.
Rust for JavaScript Developers – Variables and Data Types
I try to keep it minimal--partly because I want to avoid heavy dependency and partly just to be frugal. That said, I had stopped buying coffee from the place next to work during the week and only made enough for two mugs (one for me, one for SO) on weekends.

Now that I'm working from home and have the time in the morning, I make the same two mugs' worth most days. I don't feel awful about it because one mug (probably around a cup and a half worth) most days isn't a crazy amount. Still, I buy decent beans ($10-15 for a one-pound bag) and go through it in a couple of weeks. I consider it a minor vice and surely healthier than the couple of beers I've been drinking most evenings.
On Android, I recall that updates to a package must be signed by the same key as the package being updated, otherwise the device itself will reject the update. Doesn't that mean that only the Signal developers (who are the ones who signed the original package) would be able to create a compromised update?
Great points, will reach out soon :)
I feel that most OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android) have continued to improve security but at the same time reduced privacy.

If that's true, is there a TailsOS equivalent for phones?
The thesis of the paper is that house values are assessed higher relative to their market price in poor minority neighborhoods.

This is logical because poor neighborhoods are the most cash strapped and so the government does everything it can to generate cash without raising taxes. The easiest way to raise property tax revenue without raising taxes is to value everyone's home higher.

The difference is that in the suburbs, the home owners are more likely to fight these revaluations and win.

Local voters, elect local officials, who set local tax rates. Not to look at outcomes and put some scheme in place, per the authors' suggestion.

The fix for the problem is to elect a different set of local officials.
I don’t understand the value of your first sentence. It’s obvious Bezos didn’t build it by himself. No one who believes in capitalism believes that.
It’s sad times when “showing restraint” means insulting an entire community because one person asked a stupid question first.
Black families pay significantly higher property taxes than white families
I should note that these things can only keep your device secure if they’re not buggy, and most platforms offer these features. The difference is quality of implementation and which ones keep them up-to-date when problems are found.
Good CEOs in good companies makes much more than the average CEOs in average companies.

Every company in the USA wants a good CEO. But there are only very limited number of CEOs in the USA that has a good track record of running a successful company. So companies are willing to pay more and more for the top CEOs.

It's the same reason why drivers are paid very low. If there were only 100 drivers in SF who were capable of taking you from point A to point B with a reasonable amount of certainty they would be also be paid in millions.

Everything is supply and demand.

In case of SanFrancisco, the supply of good engineers that are available to be hired used to be limited compared to the demand.

Once you remove the restriction of being able to be physically present in SF, the supply increases much more than the demand. Which results in the reduction of salaries.
It is not that hard, however. Every copycat mentioned above replicated it using a few dozen programmers, as did Yandex and Didi and Bolt.

The competitive advantage does not lie in the software quality for Uber, but in other things (customer install base, driver base, brand awareness).
Markets, Rent and WFH
I think that's a very short-sighted answer. Besides their actual core business, they are also building technology for self-driving cars. I would say, Yes, they are selling technology/software.
If fair market value goes down, do they get to claim an unrealized loss too? Seems like the tax is more a tax on market whims than anything.

For all the complaints about the breakneck change in rust, it's a very "boring" language: all of its features with the single exception of the borrow checker already exist in other languages.
Was not the abolition of private property possible at an earlier time?
No. Every change in the social order, every revolution in property relations, is the necessary consequence of the creation of new forces of production which no longer fit into the old property relations.

Private property has not always existed.

When, towards the end of the Middle Ages, there arose a new mode of production which could not be carried on under the then existing feudal and guild forms of property, this manufacture, which had outgrown the old property relations, created a new property form, private property. And for manufacture and the earliest stage of development of big industry, private property was the only possible property form; the social order based on it was the only possible social order.

So long as it is not possible to produce so much that there is enough for all, with more left over for expanding the social capital and extending the forces of production – so long as this is not possible, there must always be a ruling class directing the use of society’s productive forces, and a poor, oppressed class. How these classes are constituted depends on the stage of development.

The agrarian Middle Ages give us the baron and the serf; the cities of the later Middle Ages show us the guildmaster and the journeyman and the day laborer; the 17th century has its manufacturing workers; the 19th has big factory owners and proletarians.

It is clear that, up to now, the forces of production have never been developed to the point where enough could be developed for all, and that private property has become a fetter and a barrier in relation to the further development of the forces of production.

Now, however, the development of big industry has ushered in a new period. Capital and the forces of production have been expanded to an unprecedented extent, and the means are at hand to multiply them without limit in the near future. Moreover, the forces of production have been concentrated in the hands of a few bourgeois, while the great mass of the people are more and more falling into the proletariat, their situation becoming more wretched and intolerable in proportion to the increase of wealth of the bourgeoisie. And finally, these mighty and easily extended forces of production have so far outgrown private property and the bourgeoisie, that they threaten at any moment to unleash the most violent disturbances of the social order. Now, under these conditions, the abolition of private property has become not only possible but absolutely necessary.

Getting asked as an expert "can this id card thing be trusted?" my answer has been "for communicating with the government you inherently don't trust, the method or security of an authentication device does not really matter" (filing your taxes or logging to services being the scope). Some claiming encryption privacy issues ... Well, for any meaningful opsec you should not be using the id card for encrypting messages about overthrowing the same government issuing the encryption devices in the first place, if government reading your messages is a threat in your model.
Ah, I didn't want to get into the stupidity and sysadmin nightmare of systemd-resolved, but rest-assured even with systemd-resolved active most users can simply manage their /etc/resolv.conf file and systemd-resolved should respect it. It gets trickier when you don't have a network manager program or are use dhcp, VPNs, etc.
Or is it systemd-resolvd? Who can tell these days?

DuckDNS looks like a nice API for the DNS part, but you still have to set up port forwarding and manage certbot.

Basically it's still an imperative process. What I'm talking about would be more declarative. You run a command that says, "I want https://anderspitman.net to forward to localhost:9001" and the system figures out everything necessary to make it work.
I am asking about your note on "real resources" because you seemed to indicate this is a limiting factor, but if you can't quantify or know where the "real resources" limit is, then it's not a very good argument. Like how do we calculate the relationship between the funny money we print and the real resources it's tied to? I don't think they're coupled at all.
Yeah right. There's no way DataCamp is getting its reputation cleaned with a defamation suit. How is reporting an internal incident defamation by any means.

Adding ADTs on their own is not enough, you need to add pattern matching and generics to unlock their biggest benefits.

This is a straw man. No one is arguing equal distribution of all wealth. Any sane observer is arguing the historic levels of inequality are a cause of many undesirable social issues.
Coding Go is like an old bridge. Because almost all Go code will be removed or replaced in short order. And only a very few survivors will still exist years from now to feed the confirmation bias of "history."

Got a 2-year heads up https://hn.algolia.com/?q=encrochat
This story strikes home. I worked during the shutdown, my job in reality isn't that important compared to an EMS Tech, ER Nurse or someone along those lines. None the less I did work directly with the public... I never got a thank you from my company, never got paid a penny extra nothing. While my boss received an extra week of paid vacation. Four weeks ago people laid off started coming back to work. Two weeks ago my pay and hours both got cut, I will now get paid 25% less than I did last year. Now a person who choose to go on leave, so they could make more money from unemployment, got promoted... with a 10% pay increase. Oh, best of all the company will be charge more in a few weeks.
> The real problem is that the law lets companies pay so many people so little to begin with.

Economists pretty much across the board disagree with you.

If you don’t allow companies to pay market rate for low-value labor, they’re simply not going to hire those people at all. They’re not going to lose money paying $15/hr (or whatever) for a job that only nets them half that.

All a “minimum wage” law actually does is eliminate categories of employment available to people with low skills or ability. You’re not helping those people by unemploying them.
