Maybe she stabbed him right through the arm with blood gushing anime style! Maybe she barely broke the skin.

Maybe he was fine. Maybe he died from tetanus. Maybe he got run over shortly after stepping out of the carriage. Maybe he gave up his life of mashing, donated everything to charity and became a monk.

We don't know. But I know which way I'd bet.

As for other incidents, not every incident is the same, not all results are the same, accidents happen and some are likely outright hostile too!

To compare them and say an outcome in one should be applicable to another is not practicable.

For the original case I would happily maintain, to defend herself as she did, with the information she had at hand, was entirely reasonable.

This is great to read! I think there are 2 basic questions that many of us are looking for guidance on:

How can I find out if I am deficient in Vitamin D? Can I do this without an office visit or lab visit?

How much should I supplement with?
There have actually been no other news about that project since late last year, when they announced they were working on it.

They, however, haven't announced that the idea is shelved, so I remain hopeful that the laptop will see the light one day.

To first order, both Uber and drivers were willingly choosing to work together. The state is outlawing a money-making venture consenting adults wanted to do. You don't know that the second order effects will be what you want. Government is a blunt instrument and many ordinary people will be upset and perhaps completely screwed by this. As the story says, for the next several months at least, the state may have cost people their source of income. Owners of taxis and shuttle services should be thrilled though. Were they the little guy here?

I recently got into realistic combat simulators (Squad, Arma, DCS, Cold Waters ... there are some other sub sims out there too) and I had no idea JiveTurkey and Aaron were the same person. Maybe I just missed it or wasn't paying attention.

Anyway, if you're a military geek and want to get into realistic naval combat sims play Cold Waters (Uboat is also good, but way different play style). Like all realistic sims the learning curve is pretty steep, but during lockdown having something to concentrate on and enable a bit of a disconnection from the rest of the world for a while is nice.
Yeah exactly. Libertarians don't advocate for zero gov't. There's a lot of demonization and (willful?) lack of nuance and understanding of it.

Austin, Texas. One of "the worst hotspots".

Can confirm that not one soul has hassled any of us for riding our bikes in the woods with our masks off.

Were it not for bicycle motocross, I think I would have jumped in front of a bus by now. Seeing my friends in the woods is one of the only things keeping me sane.

I cannot recommend cycling highly enough; not just as a pandemic activity, but as a way of life.

I call that "separation of error-domains", meaning trying to find interfaces where you can separate off parts of your application, so debugging gets easier:

Is the bug in the database, or in our code?
Your argument is circular. Uber drivers aren't employees because they are contractors. They are contractors because driving isn't Uber's core business. Uber's core business isn't driving because they don't have any drivers as employees.

Uber buys cars and leases them to drivers, it offers full-time professional drivers through Black, it invests billions of dollars into self-driving cars, it offers delivery as a B2B service. Look at the Uber Eats advertising[1] - they aren't claiming to connect you to drivers, they are claiming to connect you to your customers.

Uber's core business is clearly driving.

A pneumatic railway was already built and functional in London in 1863. While designed for mail, humans rode on it and it was triple the speed of any transport of the time.

Technically it might qualify as a hyperloop so your prediction may already be wrong.
I think for most people a salary is just the constant, like air. You get it and it’s the reason you show up everyday.

But your salary doesn’t change if you work hard or slack. It’s not a reward for performance.

Similar to how you’d die without breathing but you don’t feel rewarded for every breath. You wouldn’t breathe more than someone else to get more alive.
It's not just TSMC. There've been stories of Chinese companies hiring retired Japanese engineers for years now. Due to the system in Japan, people are forced into retirement at 60. Some are allowed back on rotating yearly contracts at a hugely reduced salary. Often, these people might still have a remaining mortgage and college fees for their kids.

So what's one to do when they're offered a lucrative salary for a cushy 'consultant' position?

I’m not familiar with the situation, but I guess this means the pypy team can try to monetize the project somehow now?
Generally I like the new name a lot. The turning point that took me from lukewarm to positive was when the phrase, "in my element" popped into my head, which I think is a pretty fitting theme for a messenger app using a decentralized protocol like matrix (almost (but not quite) enough for me to wish matrix were branded something like "bond" -- that which connects elements).

However, there's one major way it's lacking: brevity. "Element" will never be a verb like Slack, WhatsApp, Snap, Signal, etc. Telegram has the same problem -- "Send me a Telegram" is the closest you can naturally get; "Telegram me" is too much of a mouthful. Element is even worse in this respect, since I can't think of a phrase like "Send me an Element".

Now to turn this criticism upside down: I think you can spin this downside onto an amazing upside, by making the protocol the verb. People don't say "gmail me" or "aol me". They don't say "handcent me" or "textra me" (or at least, not until iMessage came along). If your goal is to encourage an open ecosystem rather than monopolize the market, not having your flagship client take up too much of the verbiage is a good thing. So it's not "Element me, it's "Matrix me".

..which, is still subpar. Two syllables with ending in x is a mouthful. I'm kind of loathe to suggest a rebrand of the protocol, too, but.. It might be worth considering.

Total aside: The single biggest improvement you could make to Element, for me, would be to stop giving mentions special treatment in the composer. I want to be able to put my cursor in the middle of someone's name, press backspace, and delete one letter, not their entire name. Using a pill as a distinct visual style to indicate that the person I'm mentioning will see it as a mention is a good thing. Making it function differently than the plain letters would is an exercise in frustration. I've nothing against WYSIWYG composers, although I prefer plain text (since I'm used to it), but if you're going to allow text-based formatting, then the composer window needs to act as (but not necessarily look like) 100% text. Polari is the absolute gold standard here, and Discord is alright (at least, if you keep their godawful "preview as you type" beta feature, which messes up mentions the same way Riot does, turned off). I spend most of my time in the composer; it's the biggest bang-free-buck area for QoL improvements.
To be fair, that doesn't seem unduly convoluted to me. They are doing their due diligence: it looks like you specifically picked the Twitter-is-liable-in-Germany-if-they-get-it-wrong legal option, so they very reasonably give you a questionnaire because they want you to be specific about what you're demanding of their vaguely defined Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz obligations.

Then they got back to you, saying they disagree with your judgement.

That's a lot of "moderation is hard" work and they're doing their job. However much you might disagree with their verdict, they're not hiding reporting functionality or making reports unduly difficult or ignoring reports.
That is ~30k IU Vitamin D3 a day, isn’t it? That’s an astonishingly outlier amount of D3 to be taking. The author strongly recommends against that much in a previous thread.[0]

I agree, and so many data science and data engineering tools all seem to revolve around using notebooks, much to my frustration. I’ve worked in places whose data pipelines were built around seemingly infinite notebooks, all containing consistently poor software engineering.

It’s been enough to make me vow to not let people write notebooks that go into prod under my watch lol.

I’m constantly on the watch for software engineering focused tools that solve the issues, rather than data science/engineering focused tools. So many are inextricably linked into python as well, which doesn’t gel nicely with anywhere that has multiple languages in the codebase.
Wait, weren't the US and England at war in the summer of 1812? Wartime hardly seems like a reasonable comparison. Britain had been impressing American navy personnel (making them slave soldiers) for years by that time.

So you think there should be protectionism? Because the profits from outsourcing are either going to executives or shareholders. Unless you fix that problem, you are not going to get American jobs back. I actually agree that outsourced jobs should be going to rural America rather than to India but CEOs don't have any incentive to do so.

“Tick Tock”
I enjoyed this post and the one before it (linked in the article). +1 for a resurrection of the old PC loser-ing situation made semi-famous by the seminal "worse is better" article (also linked therein). Really this all comes down to, "Where should the complexity live?" People who enjoy languages, tools, and OSes which cater to systems programming (myself included) eat this stuff up. I can definitely appreciate the dismay this causes in folks who simply want to glue things together to produce higher-level results more quickly.
PyPy will remain a free and open source project, but the community's structure and organizational underpinnings will be changing and the PyPy community will be exploring options outside of the charitable realm for its next phase of growth ("charitable" in the legal sense -- PyPy will remain a community project).

In other words, volunteers can contribute but others get to monetize?

Capitalism is fine, just don't treat it as a religion (looking sternly at you, HN crowd) and know that it needs to be fixed from time to time. We've been patching capitalism for centuries if not millennia: abolishing indentured servitude, environmental protection, public education, workers' rights, market regulations...

All that needs to be done is to properly mandate maximum work hours (no overtime even if the worker is willing).
I wonder if you really tried to put yourself in the shoes of one of your ancestors, and imagine the kind of world they lived in and the kind of things they valued would your belief change any? This is a common line of discourse, but it always seems to me to lack empathy beyond this present moment. Could you sell them on how the sausage was made and not just the sizzle?

1) Kaa-ching! You can't just bury it as a gas tube. It has to be suspended in a tunnel to allow for ground movement compensation etc.

2) Kaa-ching! Both upfront and ongoing.

3) Kaa-ching! There is reason materials such as Invar are not found in railways, and cost is only one of them.

4) There is no precedent to using vacuum seals at that scale (or maintaining vacuum in that sort of volume).

Elon Musk just says "let it be suspended on roller supports so the terminals slide dozens of meters". Nothing wrong with that surely.
> our current IP system has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with Western power and interest.

Property rights are neither a question of morality nor a question of realpolitik. They are an economic construct. Property is the only so-called natural right that does not exist at birth. We are born with life, and we are born with liberty, but we are not born with property.
It does if it is foreign election interference. We live in complicated times.

You assume that the c-suite care about the mission, etc more than money. They have "enough".

Imagine that c-suite types may just work for the salary, too, like many of the fellow engineers among the readership of this site. They care about the mission, but they also care about making enough money to support their other obligations (like family and kids) and tend to choose a well-paying place when they can. They try to sell their skills and knowledge not very much below the market rate.

Let's say: hey engineers, how about cutting your salary to $60k? It's close to the US national average, it should be "enough". If you think $60k is too little, ask your colleagues from EU, from India, to say nothing of Africa.

I bet some very mission-driven engineers will remain. But a lot would eventually leave.

Same applies to a lot of values of x in CxO. And you do want highly qualified people there.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of people lived in what we'd today call "soul-crushing poverty", and it wasn't uncommon to have bad harvest years where a couple percent of a nation's population starved to death. There's no way climate change is bad enough to make a world where shirts are luxury items preferable.
This is already known. Yes, they might have expropriated technology from 30 years ago, when they first started out. So what? They were caught, and they paid up the price for their malfeasance. They settled outside of court with Cisco.

Cisco doesn't even complain about this anymore, since they got a pretty penny from Huawei for it.

And they are not the only company that started out doing something shady. There are plenty of other examples of American companies that have done things in their past that are also shady.

Why don't you start with something more recent? Like, their 5G technology? Unless of course, your premise is that they also have a time machine and traveled into the future, and stole this 5G technology from Cisco as well.

Another poster had an interesting observation about academia vs corporate work. I'm 33 and still in academia, and I now realize a large part of that is the freedom it provides. I've see salary as a score on someone else's scoreboard, and very uninteresting for that reason. OK, I'm old enough to have experienced a person needs income for practical reasons, but I'm not going to work for it ;)

I'm allergic to competition, scores, rewards, prestige, I guess that makes me child-like?
Seems to me the solution is to just let the people take the cardboard ( and to an extent, other scrap material ). If they’re taking it to make money, some of them probably actually need that money.

I know people who walk around making a hundred bucks a day collecting cans and cardboard. They got no other job. They can’t get any other job. That’s how they survive.

The most impactful "ideas" in the current (social) media climate do not subscribe to any of your idea(l)s.

Pizzagate/QAnon, as examples, are not "subject to debate".

They are "oracular" in nature (there is a single source of "truth" ) and followers are expect to ... follow.

You can try to apply a Popperian approach to "controversial" or "conspiratorial" ideas, but the end result is that essentially always, such ideas fail to pass any credibility threshold.

But then people show in comment threads online, insisting that "not listening" to such ideas is inimical to the basics of free speech, and that nobody owns the truth.

These kinds of ideas have created a scenario in which nobody benefits, and in which truth, or more accurately perhaps, the pursuit of truth, suffers.
“I work for uber.” So you are getting paid for this comment?
> The trite example is shouting "fire" in a movie theater. Hate speech or other inciting speech are other examples; this article mentions recent destruction of 5G towers.

These are edge cases that are well-covered by laws that are already in place. People blowing up 5G towers? Send them to jail. Censorship shouldn't even part of the discussion here; that's destruction of property.
See, that's a false equivalence, as the degree of entanglement between state and corporation matters, as well as how much workers would defy corporate policy aligning the company with the state, for e.g. ethical reasons.

I don't buy the cynical well, they're all the same. ByteDance employees attend CCP-indoctrination meetings in the regular. Is that the case for any US corporation? How many of them are lead by former former military, like Huawei?

This seems like a problem of mis-aligned incentives..
Sometimes you want to use a temp file named ${target_name}.new, then rename it after writing to it -- the point of this is to avoid leaving garbage if you have unclean exits, but it requires using flock(2). Even better is to create an unlinked file using O_TMPFILE (Linux-only) and then use linkat(2) and then rename(2) (renameat2(2) doesn't quite support what's needed, and it's a darned shame). If you're doing this in a /tmp/ directory, well, you do have to worry about attacks by other users if you try to do the .new thing.
Pragmatically speaking, is there a comparable alternative to MDN right now, dealing with the same scope, breadth and authority? I don't think so. You would think the supergiant corporation which keeps saying they want an open, standards-compliant web would've created something like this by now, but it fell to a non-profit's lot to do the really valuable but under-appreciated work (writing & updating documentation).

MDN cannot be allowed to fail or million of Web devs will suddenly find their error rate increasing noticeably. If Mozilla corp can't spend on it, maybe they can spin it off into an independent foundation the community can donate to and keep running, like say the Linux or Apache foundation?
thank you, that's a great and pithy comment

>I'm 33 and still in academia, I'm allergic to competition, scores, rewards, prestige

I had been under the impression that academia was mostly very competitive to be able to get career (tenure track) positions. Are you not aiming for that, is it less competitive in your field, or am I missing something else?
