A diagnostic is not a rejection.

The full quote explains his thought: "Yes, two entirely unrelated pointer types can be set to one another in standards conforming C. Most compilers warn, but this is standards-conforming ISO C code that is required to not be rejected unless you crank up the -Werror -Wall -Wpedantic etc. etc. etc."

Unless you make warnings errors (-Werror), it probably will warn, but will not reject the code (fail to compile).
I remember when Rex Tillerson was appointed to State, and how they wrote a glowing article about how fucking great he was and how he'll improve foreign relations and make international capital work again and bla bla bla.

Four years later he's gone, even allegedly called Trump a "fucking moron" on the way out.

Typically, in the US, the big name cell operators (Verizon, TMobile, etc) charge similar rates and give the highest packet priority to their customers, while selling deprioritized bandwidth to virtual network mobile operators (US Mobile, Google Fi, Mint, etc.), who in turn sell it to consumers at a lower price. My guess is that with 5G, VNMOs will be a better option for more people because circumstances where connectivity is limited and priority matters will be much rarer.

That’s just the US market, though. I can’t speak to other countries.
That's already effectively possible and doesn't solve any of the problems that come with propagation delay other than keeping the effects of latency "fair".

You constructed a bit of a strawman for yourself here.

He is in fact arguing for reducing economic opportunity of few and/or corporations explicitly to the benefit of society on a number of non-monetary axes like environment, workers wellbeing, etc.

This is intentional, not a naive attempt to have cake and eat it too but rather to assert what should be a balance between market forces and the good of society.

> but never British :-)

To be fair though, a lot probably wouldn't consider the main place you get "British" food, the pub, as "eating out" because it's rather less formal.

> but it is nothing to write home about

I'll grant you that it's very, very variable, and the quality of a lot of pub food is crap in a lot of places. However there are lots of pubs that you can get very good British food (my local, for example - https://www.dancingmanbrewery.co.uk/food-glorious-food/resta...). You just have to know where you're going. And probably pay quite a lot for the good stuff. And avoid the chains.

There are many good, British restaurants around too - places like the Hawksmoor in London, or the Oxford Brasserie here in Southampton (the menu is here - https://www.theoxfordbrasserie.co.uk/menu). I wouldn't necessarily say I was going out "for British food" when I was visiting them though.

Do Thai people say they're going out for Thai food if they head out to eat in their home country? (I have no idea!)
Why not pay them 10 and use the labour in the community? Then if Uber et al wants labour they have to bid it away from the "common good".

Once everybody has an alternative job to go to outside the private sector, it no longer matters if Uber decides not to pay people and instead automates all the vehicles.

Then everybody wins due to improved productivity - Uber and the people with community jobs.

I’ll argue on the side of their disruption, Uber and Lyft’s.

Prior to their arrival on the scene, getting a taxicab in SF was nigh on impossible for there were far too few drivers, the cabs were often unsanitary, often took up to an hour to arrive when called, the drivers often tried to argue against taking card, often falsely claiming the machine was broken. The complaints stacked up on the SFMTA’s website and the SFMTA did basically nothing.

Uber and Lyft were disruptive, they were disruptive to the benefit of their customers. I have my complaints about Uber the company, but I would take this band of psychopaths over what we had prior to their arrival on the scene.

You appear to think that people preferring working in Walmart to dying of starvation means that you shouldn't improve their working conditions by associating for them above their extraordinarily wealthy management/owners.

>They would love it if I didn’t have the option to contract, because I earn at least 3x what an equivalent permanent team member would. //

Who is suggesting you can't contract work? If the law stated that contract workers total pay could not be less than the gross business cost of employee workers (+ a percentage?) would that somehow affect you negatively?

That aside: You're seriously going to argue people who can't afford basic healthcare shouldn't be helped financially because you might lose your 3x good income (~$300,000 would be triple the median California programmers wage, apparently)?
Uber didn't comply with the regulation though. They just ignored it.

Labor laws are much harder to ignore than taxi boards.
Natural gas is a net benefit as it releases significantly less carbon per kWh than coal. Coal is almost entirely C + 02 = C02 but with natural gas you also get energy from 4H + 02 = water. Even better it’s far more flexible easily accommodating a renewable heavy grid.

Natural gas is also in vastly shorter supply than coal, naturally forcing a transition away from it fairly soon.

Recently one of the lyrics sites had a similar complaint that might be the same thing happening in this case (and maybe it was the same issue for Bing's case too).

If you specify that you don't want Google to take snippets, but a third party ignores the robots.txt or meta tags and has a permissive one of its own Google can just scrape it from there.

Ask HN: “Digital Nomad” friendly debit card/bank service?
Hello,

I was looking on those "new wave fintech banks," which setup themselves in EU, but none of them seem to be going further in work with non-residents than now imploded WorldCore.

My selection criteria:

1. Can register an account for a foreign national over Internet, or by post, and accepts foreign postal address. I stress that I am looking for a bank that explicitly accepts foreign residents, and not operates like "don't ask, don't tell" like N26/Monese

2. Online first, with no usage of snail mail, or phone needed for routine service.

3. Can ship new/replacement cards over DHL, or other reputable courier.

4. Either has SMS 3ds codes which are super reliable, or provides alternatives to them.

5. Advanced online self-service

Nice to haves:

1. EU based, with SEPA access

2. Some perks, bonus programs

3. Provides some semblance of normal bank's savings, and investment plans
Some (not all) may not wish to be classified as employees for various reasons would be my guess. Health insurance is a separate concern and should probably be handled by the state rather than by random corporations anyway like every other 1st world country.
The overly cautious approach is how anyone that does not want a lawsuit handles these sorts of things. Do I really need to chuck out that bottle of ibuprofen after 4 to 5 years?

> Tax billionaires, tax the upper-middle-class, tax profitable corporations,

Where do you think our tax revenue is coming from? the 12% tax bracket of someone making 20k a year in government-subsidized housing, or the 37% tax bracket from someone making $10million a year paying property taxes on their 20 million dollar house?

a serious, informed discussion starts with an honest recognition of reality. if you think taxes need to change thats fine, but acting like billionaires and successful companies pay no taxes when they represent the overwhelming majority of tax revenue, you sound like a blind ideologue rather than someone who knows what theyre talking about.
"A small group of people is hoarding the majority of that wealth."

That like saying the winners of the football league have hoarded all the points and therefore nobody can now score goals.

It's the playing of the game that matters. Not who owns the pitches.
I love QMK, but I do worry about the physical security of a keyboard running a flashable firmware. It would be so easy to snarf passwords off of one, even less detectably than by installing a keylogger.
>"It’s time to move beyond this false choice. As a start, all gig economy companies need to pay for benefits, should be more honest about the reality of the work and must strengthen the rights and voice of workers.

So why doesn't CEO Dara Khosrowshahi lead by example and start paying benefits for Uber drivers immediately instead of writing an Op-Ed about it? Why not actually implement the benefits program and then write an Op Ed about why you did it?

>"I’m proposing that gig economy companies be required to establish benefits funds which give workers cash that they can use for the benefits they want, like health insurance or paid time off. Independent workers in any state that passes this law could take money out for every hour of work they put in. All gig companies would be required to participate, so that workers can build up benefits even if they switch between apps."

Again you're the CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. Why not be a leader and lead by example? Start the fund for your Uber drivers and use that as your inflection point and build consensus based on some action you actually took.

>"Had this been the law in all 50 states, Uber would have contributed $655 million to benefits funds last year alone."

This is patently absurd. Rephrased - "had we been forced to do the thing that I believe is the right thing this would have been the outcome"

Google is incredibly shady. There’s been a manual penalty in place against my website The Online Slang Dictionary (http://onlineslangdictionary.com) for the better part of a decade. I know this because the data suggested it - and then a Google employee confirmed it.

It would be easy to explain it away because Aaron Peckham, owner of Urban Dictionary, worked at Google when Matt Cutts was head of the Web Spam team, and they knew each other. But that’s incredibly circumstantial. I do know that when I confronted Cutts about the penalty here on HN he lied about it - which does lead one to wonder about his motive.

I’ve written in length about the manual penalty here: http://onlineslangdictionary.com/pages/google-panda-penalty/

> hundreds of thousands of middle class workers

This gigantic exaggeration is the crux of your point, around which all else crumbles. Most of Amazon's workers are badly treated and either actually in poverty or less than a month's pay away from it. There are other companies that are well regarded for employing low to no skill workers en masse, like Lidl, which nobody is complaining about.

Most people also do not believe it's corporations who are responsible for this living baseline, but the state, so yet another either outright lie or exaggeration around which all of those points crumble.

Overall, it's disheartening to see such a flawed comment at the top here in hn.

I'm trying to self reflect a lot here. Forgive my provoking thoughts.

Looking at even the US itself crumbles in today's misinformation world. I now have doubts in Democracy like Socrates did. If not for HK, Taiwan, and Uyghur Muslims, I'd consider Xi's dictatorship a good modern day role dictatorship.

What are the alternatives? Democracy has failed us in today's increasingly complex society, with free flow of misinformation everywhere. Education doesn't fix the problem. Critical thinking is hard, thinking is hard. Free education and free information doesn't fix the problem because people believe what they want to believe.

As long as a country has stability and peace and the prosperity of its citizens, then shouldn't it be in that country's best interest to crush any opposition by any means necessary, including committing actions that are provoking UN or violating Geneva Convention left and right. Won't good (from the perspective of its citizens) dictatorship is better than crumbling Democracy?

But power corrupts. Eventually it will. And the dictators will be overthrown, pulling the pendulum in the other direction.
People are alive today who experienced apartheid, who cannot visit their family because of the India–Pakistan border, or who remember when the Ireland–Northern Ireland border was "troubled". (What an amazing euphemism for a horrific memory.) The events I talked about, and so many more, are not just etched upon the history of the British Empire, but have repercussions which echo to the current day.

And yeah, either an action was a crime against humanity or it wasn't; either it was a war crime or it wasn't. We have an international system for this, but the British and American Empires refuse to submit to it, partially because they can't guarantee that the Russian and Chinese will also submit to the rule of international law, and partially because they know that it will be the end of the imperial era.
Information without DRM can easily become a public good: it can be copied without limits and a loss in quality. Once it's out in the open, people will access it easier, but that also makes it near-impossible for the information-owner to make a living. At the beginning, Google was beneficial to both the information-seekers and the information-owners because it connected them (while showing ads in the search results). With the "featured snippet" it increased the user experience by a little (and multiply this with the user count), while depriving the original owner of information from its entire revenue. (Much like how Spotify made music cheaper for everyone, at the expense of artists.) The nice way to solve this would be if Google gave a cut to CelebrityNetWorth, as Spotify gives to artists. (While Google would bring CNW more requests this way, their price would also be depressed; Spotify doesn't pave the way to the riches. [1])

I don't believe we have a crisis. By any measurable standard the plant kingdom is doing phenomenally well under the current climate, with CO2 acting as a fertilizer as noted by NASA. I also do not think that CO2 PPM is a climate control knob. There are far more mechanisms in the climate system than simply CO2 and we have absolutely no control over those. A good super volcano would plunge the earth into a mini ice age and then fossil fuels would be the last of our worries, as we'd be more worried about growing enough food to survive. We should be teaching adaptability and be prepared for any outcome, not having any illusions of control over nature.

Right, but since then "marmalade" has become a citrus jam containing the candied peel of the fruit, far more like other jams, and really quite dissimilar to the quince product from which it draws its name.

> Most people started by scratching their head and looking into space for a long time. Then they started drawing some sketches of flow (maybe with flowcharts, but often not doing that formally). Then they wrote out the code on coding sheets that had columns matching the columns on cards. Then they spent time reading the code and thinking like the machine.

This sounds a lot like how I work when writing new code that's not just a quick throw-away script, but built to last. If implementing a new feature takes me one week, then the first one is usually spent just reading the existing code and thinking about the other parts of the application and environment are going to interact with the new feature.

It takes more time initially, but it saves me a ton of pain down the line, and luckily my managers appreciate that trade-off as much as I do.

>...because their country just doesn't give a shit about them...

To add insult to injury, every party involved that doesn't give a shit about them, yet benefits from not giving a shit about them, also pretends to give a shit about them.

The entire "essential worker" hero ad campaign at the start of COVID really put a bad taste in my mouth.

Few if any of the businesses that ran those ad campaigns actually cared about their workers or felt they were heroes (if they did, they'd treat them with basic human decency, which they don't). Instead, they treat them like garbage, lie to them, and lie to everyone else portraying that they somehow don't treat their workers like garbage.

Modern corporate propoganda (that's what it is, no matter what you want to relabel it) is pretty disgusting, especially in the fact that it's successful. We've really lost our humanity in this system and it's some of the subjective yet arguably "good" or positive attributes of humanity.
What does it mean to be the 'Project Editor' of C?
Increases in quality of life have always required increases in productivity, which intrinsically means reducing headcount. Yes, you should hire people, but hiring 10 people and paying them $100 each is more moral than hiring 100 people and paying them $10 each.

The contradiction (higher productivity = fewer jobs) has been an issues since the industrial revolution at least, but we’ve seem to have gotten by so far with creating new kinds of jobs coupled with a increasing social safety net. The next step might be some kind of UBI, but we should avoid the other routes (de-focusing on higher productivity, or directly paying people more without higher productivity) as unsustainable in the long term. Some mechanisms, like a rising minimum wage, imply higher productivity with each increase, so those work out as well (though increase the need for social safety nets as some people are forced out of the work force).

This is what you get when a person who is mostly a C++ coder (as per his bio) writes C. I cringe when I see things like

struct Bark* p_dog = p_cat;

instead of

struct Bark *p_dog = p_cat;

That weird affectation of C++ programmers putting the asterisk on the type and not on the declarator, where it belongs, makes my eyes bleed. I somewhat understand the reasoning, but I think it's a gross violation of the Law of Least Astonishment.
