That depends on the country. In Europe 4 weeks of summer holidays are common, in some countries even the law. An increasing number of people logs in to work accounts during holidays, but generally it's considered poor work-life balance. I don't take pressure either way, I might or might not log in once or twice during my 3 weeks (twice a year) if I am curious about something. My private mail I scan occasionally, but it has happened many times that I haven't done so for 2 weeks. There is enough stress in my life, I don't need to be connected every day of the year. There is a phone for personal emergencies. And if someone is afraid someone is dying before they get there they probably can never move out of their parents' home.
That’s called fraud, otherwise known as theft by deception. Trading is transparent, people know all the details upfront and are not being deceived.

weird I've never managed to enjoy 3000 coming from the first and 2000, which was to me the best; in 3000 I always felt too much in control of the city, while in the other it was a constant struggle against problems.

SimCity 4 felt an incomplete and shallow game at start, but I've come to enjoy it greatly with the rush hour expansion of the deluxe edition, which made the city dynamic enough to feel compelling to work with.

back then it was hard to find in depth technical commentary of the game internals, so I don't know how much my feeling match reality

This would essentially mean that most winners on every trade in equities, crypto, forex (except for central banks I guess) etc. are committing theft. When individuals enter a trade on these markets its soley to make a profit, very rarely is it to take physical delivery of a good that will be used. You make a trade based on your assumption of which way the price of that asset will go. Someone else makes an equal and opposite trade. One person is right. There is not always a loser on every transaction as one person can think an asset has peaked and exit in profit while the asset continues to gain value, but eventually there will be a loser.

Its a game that people play and there are winners and losers, but if everyone willingly enters then it is not theft.

It could be considered legalized gambling I guess but everyone involved is a gambler.

You could do much worse than donating to the Red Cross and selecting “Disaster Relief”, and if you want to take an action, call your representatives and let them know how important you’d find a robust USAID response. Neither are sexy options, but both will have an effect

Never seen that story and can't find any details after a quick Google search. I wonder how much of the anti-Levandowski news is Google or Uber PR propaganda.
This is actually interesting - Apple Research (when it was a thing) apparently did some testing for voice activated assistants in early aughts (or maybe even before, before they were disbanded by Jobs), and the conclusion was that push to talk presents a much better user experience. I heard this story at Microsoft Research from the researcher who did this work at Apple previously. Her name escapes me at the moment, however.

Anecdotally, I would very much prefer push-to-talk myself, actually. I don't understand why companies are so resistant to the idea. Google even has all the hardware necessary (although I would prefer a positive, tactile response when I engage the assistant).

I would also like a pure text mode assistant in my phone, for the situation where voice commands would be awkward or impossible (due to noise etc).
It seems you could buy a stake in a number of publicly traded companies and funds that themselves own a stake. Seems like Google and Fidelity each own about 4% of SpaceX, maybe Fidelity is offering it as a component of some fund?

It probably does not though.
you can compost paper, but a lot of it is treated and doesn't decompose very well.
E.g. we have a compost heap in our building's garden and someone keeps putting bits of paper bags there, which last years unless you proactively go and try to break them up.

Also, wouldn't composting it release as much carbon as putting it in landfill? And landfills are bad in many ways.

Recycling it seems a better idea.

The WW2 battle of Leyte Gulf was fought between US destroyers and Japanese cruisers at very close range - the cruisers couldn't aim low enough to hit the destroyers, while the destroyers raked the cruisers topside with 5" guns.

Also in the WW2 battle of Singapore, two British battleships were sunk by Japanese bombers, but the Japanese ships were very close to the British fleet at times. The result was that Japan dominated both the Pacific and Indian oceans until Midway.

That's probably why their corporate resets take at least 3 business days. For companies, if you send warning emails for 3 business days to all accounts, someone will see it and social engineering is nearly impossible.

For individual accounts that's different though. Even with a three day waiting period it's not guaranteed that a user will see it. It also is a big cost on Gitlab which isn't justified for free users.

> all the company reps on the forums are very argumentative about any feature request

I've observed this as well and it's frustrating. Usability took a dive when the list view for entries was removed (in favor of the rich icon, column-based layout), having to manually check identically named entries to find one with the right username, but their support staff was seriously adamant about the feature not being worth the development effort because of how few people had used it. It got me looking for alternatives but I haven't switched away yet.

> neither are more intrinsically true than the other.

I would disagree. The term "property" is circa 1300. The term "intellectual property" started being used about 500 years later to (I would say undeservedly) piggy back on the success of the former. But it's an oxymoron, as IP rights in fact contradict property rights, hence it being less "true", in a logical sense.

> It's no more "unnatural" than the enforcement of physical property laws.

Yeah, that line of mine was sort of rhetorical and not substantive. If it were a PR I'd remove it :).
Compared to US, absolutely. I'm in Washington State, and we do have a mask mandate here - but if you go into more conservative areas, it appears to be routinely ignored. I've seen a gas station diner where 90% weren't wearing masks.

For another point of reference - in Australia, do you have police officers who openly refuse to enforce such laws? Because it's pretty common in small towns hereabouts.
I've been wondering how I could bring this up with the mainland Chinese I know. It's particularly difficult, because for some of them I'm in a supervisory/managerial role, but I don't want to put pressure on them, which would raise all sort of other ethical dilemmas and would likely not be effective. Anyone else can share experiences?

Ever went to a National Park or National Forest? There are huge areas without reception (mostly on purpose). Even if you're on camping grounds with facilities and not hiking in the wilderness, having no reception for several days is standard.

In fact, I know people who choose the camping grounds for that. There's no better way to properly relax than not having any possibility to check what's going on in the world.

In https://www.reuters.com/news/picture/pictures-report-idUSRTX... you can see ships berthed after the explosion, with no visible damage (as seen from a distance, surely there must be lots of minor damage to the superstructures etc.) even though they must have been really close to the explosion.

Since it was a ground level explosion, the quay and other buildings probably largely shielded the hulls of the ships from damage.

Ships in general are quite sturdy things, they are made to withstand heavy seas and winds after all.

google/apple were taking it to the next level (phone locaiton telemetry for traffic conditions)

Well, won't your pretty cool and useful code make the lives easier for some people, including yourself? The idea is to leave the World a little better place than it was when we got here, and it sounds like you just did something that will help you achieve just that.

Personally, things like this motivate me. If those guys can send a giant steel tube into space then goddammit I will be able to finish project XYZ on time, and provide a useful service to a customer, thereby contributing to the greater whole.

Sites should be migrating to WebAuthn (and please people do not implement U2F instead of WebAuthn in 2020, for the same reason you wouldn't build a new Flash video site, nothing new supports that technology any more, stop it)

I think this is terrible advice because WebAuthn isn't supported by Linux browsers and I still want to be able to login to services on the internet.
True, but this also misses part of the point:

- Once you are in the "margin-top: xxx" part, nothing prevents you from saying "just this time" and writing some px (or whatever) value, either because you don't remember the options at your disposal, because none of them feel exactly right or whatever. Using tailwind you would have to create an entirely new size definition, which is a big hassle. That is, using scss does not actively push you to this particular "pit of success" whereas using tailwind does.

- Responsive handling is much more verbose in scss. Consider "sm:mt-2" versus "@include responsive(sm) { margin-top: margins(2) }"
The 12-inch Macbook is my favorite Mac, despite I have multiple MacBook Pros and a MacPro! Although people might find it strange. It's simple, beautiful, extreme on the design, and also extremely slim, light, and quiet. I'm pretty sad that they've discontinued this product, I hope they'll bring it back with an Arm processor.

It's almost as heavy and as thin as the iPad, but it is a full-sized computer with a full-sized keyboard. I can play with Emacs for 20 hours writing and scripting without charging.

Also another unpopular opinion - I also love the butterfly keyboard of the 12-inch Macbook, it's quite uncomfortable but once I get used to it, I feel I can type pretty fast and it feels good. It feels firmer than the old Macbook Pro because the latter feels a little bit shaky. It also feels more clicky than the later Macbook Pro with the butterfly keyboard. It seems to me they have received too much criticism on the butterfly keyboard so they were trying to make it less edgy, but that made it lost the characteristics as well, thus they withdraw butterfly keyboard eventually.
CYA?
Their identity defined through what they do. They can’t stop because then they won’t know who they are.
> Oh and web apps of the era were slow. Like, dog slow. However bloated and crappy the reddit app is, the old Slashdot site was slower, even on broadband.

Just those that attempted to realize every minuscule client side UI change by performing full page server side rendering. Which admittedly were quite a few, but by far all of them.

The better ones were those that struck a good balance between doing stuff on the server and on the client, and those were blazingly fast. This very site, HN, would probably qualify as one of those, albeit a functionally simple example.

SPAs are just a capitulation in the face of the task to strike this balance. That doesn't mean that it is necessarily the wrong path - if the ideal balance for a particular use case would be very client side heavy (think a web image editor application) then the availability of robust SPA frameworks is a godsend.

However, that does not mean it would be a good idea to apply the SPA approach to other cases in which the ideal balance would be to do much more on the server side - which in my opinion applies to most of the "classic" types of websites that we are used to since the early days, like bulletin boards, for example.
Running Acrylic DNS (or any other local DNS server) wont do you any good because Windows firewall (or any software firewall for that matter?) cant/wont filter localhost (127.0.0.1), meaning you cant whitelist programs for DNS access :(. I want to not only be in control of what my DNS returns, but also who can access it in the first place. I want a popup the second something other than on my whitelist queries DNS. This works in windows as long as you kill DNSCache service.

I havent investigated yet the possibility of using virtual lan adapter with separate subnet dedicated to DNS and if that can be filtered using Windows firewall.

Sigh, more Zenz quotes and his "credible" estimates.

>A few days later, the prisoners were loaded onto minibuses and sent away to an unknown location.

It would be trivially easy to strip out the meta data and geo-locate his location to match buildings across to see if it's an actual detention site. But naw, unknown location and unverifiable documents. The sad thing is the psyops aren't very good, the audience is just that stupid.

Edit: just to clarify, the camps exist. But any article that requires Zenz for substantiation should be by default discredited. The bar for ascertaining the scope of the camps is not difficult, just geospatially catalogue all 1,200 camps Zenz claims to exist. US + allies clearly have the resources and Trump already leaked USA224 capabilities. The fact that MSM has to repeatedly use Zenz commentary is incredibly telling. Also ignore millions of social media posts from XJ showing facts on the ground. At least they talked to Darren Byler this time.
The free internet services model is fundamentally broken. It's just not sustainable that good service can be offered for free.

Where do you get free groceries, fee petrol/gas or anything else?
Not necesary to make that requirement.

The way stuff like this works, is that with a fairly simple set of end-point power controland some pretty simple monitoring, and then some central smart software, you can effect pretty dramatic improvements.

For example, the smart controller allows the fridge temperature to drift (just a little), similarly with central heating, and geyser, and the net effect is that power draw is temporarily reduced during peak times.

Multiply this over your whole year and you have some cost savings.

Multiply it over a whole neighbourhood, and the utility can dramatically reduce their cost of maintenace, and their cost of deployed capital.

(Because of reduced power/thermal swings in their equipment, and reduced peak carrying capacity of the network)
If you have read any sufficiently advanced patent, you'll easily see they're very hard to replicate without insider knowledge, bastardizing the principle behind protection due to publication.

I have to say he has really developed his show into an excellent mix of education and entertainment. I used to not like him very much (didn't like his type of humor), but I learn something every time I watch one of his shows, even if it covers a topic I'm already quite familiar with.
Our GIS department had airphoto and street view on web based arcgis when google rolled out maps. So did our neighbouring cities, with a central site trying to link it all together.

They also had, maybe, 10 users outside of our own network a year. Everyone else we’re using the traditional pre-google-maps map websites, in my country krak.dk.

I think what google did better was marketing. Then they mapped every WiFi network on the planet to make real life location tracking faster than using GPS.

Actually, most interviews with Turks say the payment is less important than being able to do hits between classes, or without any commuting.

Also, some workloads are done on Turk as carefully planned statistical trials, which cannot easily be done offline.

So, nothing to do with HN Econ 101 today. Class is out.

From a moral perspective, that's maybe one thing. From a legal it might be another - you might be construed as discriminating against them or harassing them based on their ethnicity, which is in fact valid; if they weren't chinese you wouldn't be discussing it with them. So in that sense I really would think carefully. In fact, don't.

If they bring it up themselves, for or against that slightly changes things but frankly if they're supportive of the oppression then doing anything other than telling them "keep that opinion to yourself" is a minefield. Taking them on will most likely blow up in your face. (edit: no 'most likely' about it. It will).

If they are against it and wish to discuss it with you and what to do, it's still a danger (I can't say why, more a feeling) and I'd advise them to contact/join an external group, or their MP/representative etc. and leave it at that. Shit like this discussed at work is bad news, I don't see how doing it can make things better.

Anyone who disagrees and can make a better suggestion, I'm very willing to learn from.

Edit: to those downvoters, I'm NOT saying don't discuss it, I'm saying don't do so at work. It is deeply unlikely anything helpful will come of for anyone, but it is very likely to damage your reputation or even lose you your job.

Speak up! Sure, but in the right place and to those whose job it is to make a difference.
And how convenient it is, that a system that's designed to benefit the wealthiest, is also rigged to sink everybody else with it, if it's brought down. And so, for a while now, whenever anybody tries to enact some reforms that'd make it more equitable, they're defeated by appeals to retirement security. That's one nasty hack of democracy.

Some people simply don't read the article before leaving a comment.

And for others sometimes it's just the challenge of understanding written humor. Humor can be sophisticated, and written humor is more challenging since there is no speaker to make adjustments. You mix that with the fact that many users don't expect to see these kind of articles here in the first place (especially non-native English speakers), and you get a lot of serious opinions about a joke.

As someone who travels frequently and has moved to different countries, SMS is the absolute worst.

If a service asks me to verify my number after crossing a border, the chances of me ever being able to log into that account ever again are basically zero.

Then there's Google. Google doesn't have a phone number on file for me, but they sometimes demand that I input a phone number and enter a verification code to access my accounts. This has led to me needing to ask a total stranger to help me login to my accounts, potentially allowing them full access to all of my data in the name of "security." But hey, nobody ever said Google hires smart people.
