Having gotten a Swiss C-permit (permanent residency) myself on the five year fast track it was rather easy. But looking at previous interactions it all feels very dependent on what privilege you have in the form of your nationality.

If you are from a "good" country things are a lot easier. E.g. I didn't have the TELC B1 test done when I sent in all the papers. So I had a co-worker help write a formal letter explaining I would forward the test results when ready and got the permit before the results.

There is even a set of countries that are exempt from the language requirement (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain,
Greece, and Liechtenstein). Some of which make sense as they share a language with Switzerland while others I wonder what the story really is...

In contrast, friends from a "bad" country would be stringed along on 6 month L-permits, also for the spouse (who didn't get the right to work) while I brought my partner (we still aren't married) and got her a B-permit that could easily be upgraded to a working visa from the get go.

I wish the system wasn't so discriminatory :(

Yes, it's very much like blogger.com, but older.

What we have on 'our loca internet' is a few community hubs, one of them is a general one for all kinds of freelancers where they can put a link to their blog, and also the blog platforms have a general listing of blogs separated into categories that you can explore. I don't know of any such community hubs on the English speaking internet.
It's definitely economics; and that's before you factor in carbon cost and looming potential for expensive law suits because of people filing for damages (think tobacco industry). Any remaining coal plants will be under a lot of scrutiny in a few years.

Gas plants are much better from that point of view but still too expensive. Renewables are really killing it on the cost front and with viable energy storage solutions coming online even a role as peaker plants is not going to be a long term thing for gas plants.

Economics are also the reason nuclear is not happening. It's just too expensive and risky for operators to get involved in. When prices below 0.02$/kwh are becoming normal for new solar bids, that kind of puts the squeeze on everything else. Even gas. And there is no sign of this being a final price, this will likely dip well below 0.01$ at some point.

The only reason for investments like this is short term gains while production capacity for clean energy simply can't cover the whole market just yet. So converting coal plants makes sense to replace expensive capacity with slightly less expensive capacity while enough cheap capacity to replace it is short term just not there yet.

my comment was based on a movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exception based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kaiser%27s_Last_Kiss Of course any monarchy would've recognized the Nazis so maybe the monarchs would have been as figureheads only. Reading more, looks like the book might not be 100% accurate. For example, Himmler did not meet the exiled last Kaiser but Goring did.
It's not that easy: Now the lock doesn't work when either your phone or your lock has no internet connection, or the cloud is down. Also, when the manufacturer gets hacked they can remotely open any lock. (And you need to use a phone that is manufactured by the same company as the lock?).

I'd say there are better ways to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks during set-up, which are IMO not really a problem anyway. You have bigger problems if that is a part of your threat model.

>If you really want to be paranoid, the lock and phone should exchange a separate set of public keys that encrypt the commands uploaded to the cloud that get forwarded to the lock. Now, even compromising the cloud doesn't let you unlock the door.

But now you're doing public key exchange which you wanted to avoid, why then involve the cloud at all?

This claim appears to be entirely false. I couldn't even find an article that said anything like this.

Something as important as "uid" should be "const".
a "set" is a series of repetitions of a given exercise that is performed continuously. for example "three sets of five reps" of a given exercise would mean performing the exercise five times, resting for a moment, then performing the exercise five times, then resting, and finally performing the exercise five more times. a single set would just be doing the exercise for a given number of repetitions.

> accept risks from intentionally violating the spirit of that limitation.

What risk? Since it's the engineers, not the executives that take any oath of professional conduct, there wouldn't be any risk for any executive. All this would get us is a legal framework for throwing engineers under the bus via an ethical commission if they do something silly like blowing the whistle on an unethical decision higher up in the hierarchy.

I'm very much for greater personal responsibility in the field of software engineering. Until not too long ago, I used to work a in a field (medical equipment) where accepting the burden of potentially catastrophic mistakes came with the job. But I also know -- based on that same experience -- that personal accountability is meaningless without organizational ability.

Unless this hypothetical "Hippocratic Oath for engineers" is backed by a "Hippocratic Oath for executives", a "Hippocratic Oath for product managers", and "Hippocratic Oath for engineering managers", (edit: or by a legal framework that requires companies to enable it) all it'll do is reduce the PR effort involved in cleaning up a mess like Volkswagen's emission test scandal to pretty much zero by providing an exceptional -- and very mythical-sounding! -- framework for scapegoating.

in unicon/icon it would be

procedure StringSplit(str)

#
# define a local to hold an initial empty list
#
local l := list()

#
# if the length of the string is odd then concatenate an "_" character
#
str ||:= ((*str % 2 = 1) & "_")
#
# scan the string and put each two characters onto the end of the list
# created above, fail when you reach the end of the string
#
str ? while put(l, move(2))
#
# return the list to the calling program
#
return l
end

and for an example string of "this is a string" it will return the list
["th", "is", " i", "s ", "a ", "st", "ri", "ng"]

and for an example string of "this is a string2" it will return the list
["th", "is", " i", "s ", "a ", "st", "ri", "ng", "2_"]

Nice and simple compared to the example given in Java.
Was this a backdoor or not? Following the comments on the article and previous posts here on HN it seems the jury is out AFAICS.

The crucial question to me seems to be if this condition:

> If it is immoral for Apple to do business in China, then why is it moral for Mr. Lai or anyone in Hong Kong to do business in China?

Why is it moral for Jimmy Lai – who was born there, grew up there, and lives there – to do business there? Are his only moral choices to be unemployed or emigrate? He needs to be economically active somewhere and that’s his home.

You don’t have to have a "partisan double standard" or bias against Apple to see the clear difference between a corporation expanding to a foreign territory and a local working in his home country.

I operated a 570 for a few years, back around 2006. I don't remember how I decided to get one, but it could run Win2K, my preferred OS at the time, and had a USB port. At the time I was doing most of my work through SSH and X sessions... Firefox ran but it was slow. I remember sending the original battery pack off to get rebuilt -- they probably weren't expecting such an antique!
As the others already mentioned: the Rhineland model comes up in such discussions. They're basically that: thoroughly capitalist, but balanced with worker's rights and interests by force of government. I guess you could say labour is more valued, and market controls make companies compete (more) for it than in the Anglo-Saxon model, leading to good wages and distribution of production. It doesn't promote superstars, neither in terms of economic centers which become prohibitively expensive, and not in terms of wages either (far fewer ultra-rich, but many moderately rich in return).
Not until 2019 did central banks started to ask banks to implement SEPA instant.

Normal SEPA does not work in weekends just like ACH even though the core process is moving XML files to an shared FTP server.

SEPA instant could be starting point for mobile based payments in Eurozone which is currently not present in anyway.
That’s a good point. If we assume the best of Tim Cook, he’d still be savvy enough not to announce “China sucks we’re moving to India” but rather the SPoF argument, and then one day, well we need to reduce capacity and for reasons XYZ (which are aha nothing to do with the CCP) we’re going to focus on India.

I wonder if there are a lot of studies of the market "fighting back" progress. Everything about the free market is predicated on informed customer decisions, and if you, as a company, can gaslight consumers effectively through propaganda (let alone lobbying...), then you've basically broken the invisible hand.

Have there been studies about this? I'm pretty sure Adam Smith predates mass advertising, branding, modern marketing.

Marketing tips to grow your PaaS subscription business
I think I prefer the three permaculture ethical principles. They are much more condensed, more broadly applicable to any technology at any tech level, and much more holistic. These are:

1. Care of Earth

2. Care of People

3. Fair Share

They can be applied to technology as part of the whole ecology, not just human-centric. It puts life and death in the proper context of the whole, rather than the way modernity had twisted it up.
Most of it is centralization. Google is in the bay area so everyone must go there if they want a job. Now apply this to a hundred different companies. Now that major city is absolutely essential if you want a high salary.

Rent prices are just a matter of greed. Cities make themselves business friendly to bring in more taxes but do not pay attention of how to house workers. If they wanted to prevent gentrification they'd start by kicking out companies, not the people that have lived there for decades. The reality is that all this bullshit is about making money. Land owners want a higher ROI so kicking out companies is a no go but building more housing is a no go too.
Most evil is conducted with the conductor being fully aware that the action is evil. An oath isn't going to stop someone who is aware they are violating social norms in the first place.

A thief knows stealing is wrong. A murderer knows killing is wrong. You don't stop thieves and murderers by making them swear hippocratic oaths.
That's a pretty absurd take. I mean, of course the bombing wouldn't have stopped if there was no surrender...considering that was the whole point of using nuclear bombs in the first place. I can't understand how 2 nuclear bombs can be considered to be worse than the millions of deaths a land invasion of Japan would have led to. I absolutely understand why the Americans weren't willing to risk a conventional land war in Japan, considering the insanely bitter Japanese resistance in Okinawa.

Everything indicated that Japan and it's civilian population was willing to fight off an invasion at all costs, through the bitter end. The Americans witnessed that absolute suicidal fanaticism in every single battle they've had with the Japanese whether they were military or civilians. What's actually "rationalization" is to pretend the Americans didn't try everything to convince the Japanese to capitulate or to push for the disproven theory that Japan was about to surrender anyways. I get that it's hard for some to acknowledge that the US has ever done anything good, but there are already tons of valid reasons to dislike America. This absolutely isn't one of them.

Btw in ww2, history seems to have been written mostly by the losers who pushed for the omnipresent "underdog" narratives that are usually nothing more than outright historical revisionism . The Japanese white washing of their ww2 history or the german generals post war memoirs that started numerous myths about the Werhmacht are proof of that. Ironically, one of those narratives is the tired maxim that history is supposedly written by the winners, which is a pretty convenient way for the losers to make their revisionism more compelling.
I deliberately bleed my own money and energy to run a Tor node to help other people gain freedom of information. Small scale, but proof that your absolute statement is not grounded in reality.
Taiwan can't compare with China in terms of production capabilities right now. And other countries in Asia don't produce the same goods as China either.
This is not true, driving in european cities is stressful (narrow streets with irregular layout, high density of pedestrians/cyclists, not enough parking places). The public transit, when done right, is way more convenient.

There are far more devices running Linux in the world than Windows & macOS combined. That would seem to be a much more useful comparison than how many people own those devices.

> Because there’s no chance they are just people with an opinion, right?

Not when your Education system is literal State propaganda and they deny access to the Internet due to the specific fear of subversive acts, also known as: personal research.

It's one thing to hold an opinion and argue from that POV in honest discourse, its quite another to be operating and rewarded for your loyalty to the State and be monitored and possibly dissapeared if you deviate from this path. This is the same type of Human Conditioning seen during the Soviet Union, which I think can be universally understood to be a negative thing.

Many people in Hong Kong feel as though they've been forgotten by the International Community, the Umbrella Revolution/Yellow Movement was trying to oppose this since 2014, and it mainly went unnoticed other than some sound bites about violent protests, and not much else was understood beyond that.

When what should have been the real focus was the ever increasing Hegemony that was being built by the CCP that could essentially become so seemingly 'indispensable' to those addicted to its cheap labour/manufacturing that it could commit literal Crimes Against Humanity out in the open, lie and cover up International Pandemics that have cost untold Lives and Suffering several times (SARS as well as COVID), and still make People question if it's 'worth' decoupling from China.

That was my biggest fear all along, as I knew Hong Kong (the city) would eventually be returned to China. We stand at a critcal point as a Species on how we Live on Earth and I really want to maintain faith that Humanity can come to the most reasonable albeit difficult conclusion that this cannot continue, but its statements and sentiment like that that make me wonder just how detached people have become to this cancerous threat model. And if they can even muster the ability to be inconvenienced enough to actually see it for what it is instead of detaching into some perpetual self0induced distraction, often viewed from their Chinese made device.
I think it's a reasonable assumption that any existing trends that are accelerated by covid will be fairly sticky.

An obvious example in the UK is people switching to grocery delivery. Some people will switch back but a lot will continue because the virus helped them past whatever inertia was holding them back before.
Some of these had more descriptive names, but the apache software foundation doesn't allow names with "Kafka" as part of the name because it's a protected trademark apparently.
I am more worried being implicated with distribution of child pornography. The government is watching what comes through the pipes, and it’s your name on the pipe.
I haven't read the indictment, but isn't the allegation that she's an officer of a firm that exported restricted US-made HP telcom equipment under agreement with the US government not to share that equipment with Iran, and used a shell company in HK to transfer that equipment to Iran? My understanding is they snapped her up on the money side of the transaction because her hands were more directly there and that part is easier to trace. She needed to perform banking fraud in the US in order to make payment in the US for the US-made equipment. I believe the allegation is that she knowingly flat-out lied to HSBC about the nature of the HK shell company in order to get HSBC to complete the payment in the U.S. At least, that's my understanding. Am I missing something?

It's not like she was simply on vacation buying tourist kitsch in Tehran or selling Hwawei equipment to Iranian companies. I believe the allegation is that both the equipment export and the payment sides of the transactions touched US soil and violated US law.
