If Apple was previously absolved by the legal interpretation that an employer is only responsible for paying employees for productive work, then I do not consider their actions appropriate.

But it's also quite true that lawyers salivate at the prospect of a suit getting to class status, and make no earnest effort to settle for damages and policy changes on behalf of their putative clients.

And of course, Apple is a juicy target. If Apple attempted the former legal defense in response to the latter vampiric offense, then its pigs and mud all the way down.
The claim is that those people are among those editing the article, and there's some of the more motivated ones. It's not that everyone else doesn't matter, in fact the problem is exactly that the wider informed opinion of everyone that matters isn't automatically reflected in wikipedia pages.

Any sufficiently intense argument anywhere in the world risks corrupting a wikipedia page.

How are Venture Capitalists Affected by Covid-19?｜A new survey of 1000 VCs
The title here seems like it’s drawing much more conclusion than the paper gives - really should read “Study Correlates Regular Cannabis Use in Adolescents with Reduced Verbal Memory Performance”

Better yet, “Stoned Teens Don’t Listen” hah.
Not everyone on FB sees manipulated media. I almost never did before I deleted my account.

It depends on your social network, groups, likes, and shares. Manipulators are always going to try to target people who want to believe their lies.
Why was there a regulation in place preventing this in the first place? I don’t get it.

This didn't "seem" right to me, so I went looking. Seems like a little over 2/3 of US households have pets. (I couldn't easily find worldwide figures.)

I don’t like Noah but I agree with his point that Graeber’s book, which is named Debt, is actually not about debt and doesn’t explain debt much and even misrepresents modern economics. It is just a topic that lets Graeber go on tangents and moralize.

The consequences would not be simply severe. There is an actual law passed by US in 2002 authorizing military action against ANY country (including NATO members!) working to bring US citizens to the Hague for a trial at ICC. And yes, that law explicitly allows invading the Netherlands and attacking ICC if needed in order to prevent war crime trials against US citizens. To make matters worse, there are rumored secret extensions (by executive action) of that law allowing LETHAL action against ANY individual(s) (as opposed to countries) who work towards getting a US citizen to trial at the ICC. See my comment in response to the use who you said was living in a fantasy world.

Yes, when you use key-based authentication to a server, you never actually give the server a secret, you just cryptographically prove you have the private key that goes to your public key. This is important because the sever can be entirely compromised and you can log into it without leaking any secrets.

Compare this to a secret password, if someone hijacks the SSH connection and you accept the host key (which everyone says yes to on the first connection), you give away your password which can then be used by an attacker to get access to the real server.
Compiling AVR-C code with a modern build system
See, now this is an enjoyable fact. It is interesting to think that all of the forces involved in the collision will finish propelling themselves into each other within 2 minutes. One would think that it would be a little bit longer than that, because the transfer of energy between two cars in a car crash is over in a few seconds. But an asteroid colliding with a planetoid seems like it would take longer, given the amount of mass involved and the amount of deceleration that needs to take place (x km/s to 0.0000000 km/s)
Yes! We pass conformance tests[1] (for the core of WebGL 1 + the extensions that we support).

That said, the Angle version we use is decently old. If we updated it, we would be able to implement WebGL 2 (OpenGL ES 3.0) support. Unfortunately, it's no easy feat to update and integrate the latest Angle, and the project is more-or-less in maintenance mode until someone else comes to take on the task (the project's been revived several times before, so not totally unimaginable!)

Wow, you echoed my sentiments exactly. I just hate frontend development so much for some reason.
The NYTimes definitely prints stuff that is factual. A lot of the entertaining stuff is factual. It just depends on your goals. For example, if you read NYTimes every day since March, you'd sell at the bottom of the fastest stock market recovery in history.

Things can be factual and yet point you in the 200% wrong direction. And since that direction, for the average person, really means, on average, making tons of money, the average news source's pessimism (the actual continuity between 1807 and now) is going to... lose you a ton of money.
This is really cool! It's great to see a simple but nontrivial program to get a feel for how a language like this works. Reading through and knowing no COBOL, it looks like this is logistic regression on four input features.
Youtube hadn't shown me any of these songs yet, so this posting was my introduction. I watched a bunch and it's a fun trend--now I suppose I'll see them recommended.

My observation is that finally those history majors, English majors, and music majors in college (universities in the US) will pay off with a bit of attention. I often see some in the tech crowd dismiss the humanities, suggesting that non-STEM degrees that don't lead to a lucrative career are a waste. Well, I think this shows that having some people who know those things makes life a bit better for everyone.
It's alright! If I see worse backspace abuse I'll disable it, but scripting is part of the fun :)
Estimates of prevalence do assume detection. How would we detect that a dependency that was installed a few deployments and reboots ago was compromised?

How does the classic infosec triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) apply to software supply chain security?

Confidentiality: Presumably we're talking about open source projects; which aren't confidential. Projects may request responsible disclosure in an e.g. security.txt; and vuln reports may be confidential for at least a little while.

Integrity: Secure transport protocols, checksums, and cryptographic code signing are ways to mitigate data integrity risks. GitHub supports SSH, 2FA, and GPG keys. Can all keys in the package signature keyring be used to sign any package? Can we verify a public key over a different channel? When we specify exact versions of software dependencies, can we also record package hashes which the package installer(s) will verify?

Availability: What are the internal and external data, network, and service dependencies for the development and deployment DevSecOps workflows? Can we deploy from local package mirrors? Who is responsible for securing and updating local package mirrors? Are these service dependencies all HA? Does everything in this system also depend upon the load balancer? Does our container registry support e.g. Docker Notary (TUF)? How should we mirror TUF package repos?

Ask HN: Open-source/paid recommendations to run babysitting club
Didn't think I'd ever be posting this on HN, but here goes. When I was a kid, my parents used to share babysitting responsibilities with other parents in our class so they could go out every couple of weeks. I was hoping that there would be a tech solution to manage this but I'm struggling to find one. Basically we want an app/website to start a group, people can join and they're given X tokens to use for sitting which are transferred on a case by case basis. They can't buy new tokens, we don't want people to start using it as a paid service. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations? The ones I've taken a look at seem to be expensive and subscription based ($10/pp month + can pay for babysitting). We're all happy to pay a one-off fee or a reasonable annual subscription amount.

India also has extremely high interest rates.

So there is a benefit in converting fixed upfront capital costs into rolling operational costs.

In most developed countries consumers can convert those upfront costs easily and cheaply through loans. In a country like India, loans are much more expensive.

Think of it like using cloud services instead of buying an upfront machine.

Hooked is for building habit-forming products to help designers build healthy habits in peoples' lives. There's a section on "the morality of manipulation" in Hooked that discusses how to use these techniques ethically. I also discuss the difference between habits and addictions and why building addictions is unethical.
I didn't write the book for Facebook and Twitter, they already know these techniques. I stole their secrets so anyone can use them to help people build better behaviors through the technology we use and the book has been used in all sorts of industries, from education to healthcare, to build better habits.

I've noticed it more and more in the ML research community, I think it's mostly the influence of twitter and medium articles. For a blog it really is fine though and I'm comfortable with language evolving in an imprecise fashion as long as the emojis don't try to do much more than add flavor.
> DHRC is decay heat. CNV is reactor containment vessel. So drain the pool and the reactor is in trouble.

In some reactor designs overheating slows and eventually stops the reaction in a controlled/deliberate manner. The reactor system may still fail irreversibly, but it wouldn't necessarily meltdown in a way that risks widespread contamination or excessively expensive site remediation, such as by exposing unapproachable material.

I have no idea if this design has that quality.
Let’s not assume we know why people do the things they do. A criticism of the things the do should suffice.

India's is an extremely price conscious market.

Companies that raise prices by doing that will be beaten by companies that don't very quickly.

There's really no smell unless the little bugger leaves his nuggets without ANY sort of burial. Even then, it's a mild smell, I mask up, no problemo.

While allowing competition for batteries is a good idea, I fear that it'll go the way of printer ink cartridges or the Keurig.

Sure, technically you can get a battery from whomever you like for your car so long as it's compatible - but the Manufacturer has put DRM on the battery interface. All in the name of safety, you see - they don't want to see their cars catching fire on national news because of some shoddy batteries.

However what it'll mean is that unless the battery maker is willing to fork out a large chunk of cash per battery to the car maker, the car maker won't certify it as compatible.

Of all the questions I've been asked in interviews over the course of my career, this is the only one I can actually still remember to this day. Partially because it's extremely unique. And partially because I was fairly certain at the time, judging by the look on your face, that I'd completely bombed it. (Also reading your explanation above, I now KNOW that I bombed it.)

Anyway, I'll attest to the fact that Dan at least didn't veto all candidates purely on the basis of their response to this question (unless I was the result of a massive clerical error).

Outcomes aside, I'm very thankful for my experience at Optimizely. My time there was a major inflection point for me both personally and professionally. I wouldn't be as effective in the workplace as I am today—nor would I have some of my most meaningful friendships—had I not cut my teeth at 631 Howard — thanks Dan (and Pete, if you're reading this too).

Nope. There are classes among the ultrawealthy too:

* Lower-class ultrawealthy have billions on paper, but no liquidity. Think of a founder sitting on a pre-IPO unicorn.

* Jeff Bezos is lower-middle-class ultrawealthy. He has wealth, but he can't use it, since it's locked up in Amazon. If he sold it all, Amazon stock would collapse.

* Bill Gates is middle-class rich. He has "free" wealth which he can do with as he pleases.

* Upper-class wealthy have wealth in political structures (think Saudi princes for a visible example, or low-key formerly noble European families who hold massive amounts of land). Their wealth is now structured so it can survive economic collapses, wars, and so on, and they can command real power through global political influence.

It's really about how much you can use your wealth for power and influence.

New buildings built over the last couple of decades generally have provisions for keeping the outer unit of the air conditioners out of the way.

We largely use ceiling fans in Singapore. The difference in electricity bill between the couple of months with horrific heat where we use a lot of air conditioning and the rest of the months where we don't is pretty steep. A few people may want to use air conditioning all the time - so it's fair to give others a choice.

Heating on the other hand in cold countries is pretty non negotiable from what I've experienced - so centralized may work better.

So I think it is much of a muchness.
Weed 25 years ago had a THC content of 5% or less, generally speaking. Now 20% is common, and >30% exists. More importantly, the ratio of THC to CBD is higher, meaning you get different effects even if you smoked an "equivalent" amount before.
